Eddie Hearn Derails Eubank Jr vs Benn Press Conference With Unexpected Stunt

Eddie Hearn delivered an unexpected stunt during the pre-fight press conference ahead of Chris Eubank Jr's rematch against Conor Benn.

On Saturday night, all eyes will be fixated on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, as Eubank Jr and Benn go into battle once more.

Back in April, the pair of rivals settled their differences inside the ring for the first time in a middleweight bout.

At the time, Eubank Jr produced a brilliant performance to win via unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the bout 116-112 in the Next Gen's favour.

This weekend, Eubank Jr is looking to continue the clean sweep his family currently has over the Benn camp.

The pair's fathers, Chris Eubank Snr and Nigel Benn, fought each other twice during the 1990s.

On Thursday evening, the pair were involved in a pre-fight press conference.

During which, promoter Hearn used cue cards to deliver a message to the crowd as Eubank Jr speaks – kind of similar to when he spoke over Hearn earlier this year.

Reacting to Hearn's jibe, Eubank Jr said: "As long as he’s not speaking, that’s fine.

"This is embarrassing, guys. This is supposed to be the best promoter in the world, and he’s up here with clipboards, smiling like an idiot because he’s too scared to speak at a press conference."

Speaking ahead of the rematch, Benn said: "We’re both at different stages of our career. For us to be sitting here, it’s legacy and it’s generational. I didn’t choose this life, it sort of just fell into place.

"Very, very [happy to see Sr]. It’s good to have him here. We are where we are because of our dads."

Meanwhile, Eubank Snr, who made a dramatic entrance last time around, said: "I’m here to support again. He’s doing the weight, so I’m here to support – just in case there are those who want to bark or scold him. I guess I’m here to actually protect him.

"If a father takes money, nothing wrong with that. But if there’s a father who doesn’t take money – none – then that is to be studied. Study that. You can’t pay me anything; I’m here for heart. Remember what I’ve lived by my whole career. I’ve lived and behaved with patience, kindness, I’m not proud, I’m not rude – I’m not easily angered, Nigel, and I keep no record of wrongs."
