The rivalry between Benn and Eubank dates back to a pair of fights between their fathers in the 1990s. Eubank Sr. knocked out Nigel Benn in the first meeting before the pair battled to a draw in the rematch in a rivalry that did big domestic business in the United Kingdom.

Conor Benn has been keen to rub salt in the wound of Chris Eubank Jr. after the latter incurred huge fines for missing weight for their Saturday fight. Eubank Jr. received a hefty $500,000 fine for missing weight on his second attempt on Friday,

The costs continue to rack up for Chris Eubank Jr., who will now be down £525,000 before a single punch has even been thrown on Saturday.
