Chris Eubank Sr Offers to Secure Conor Benn a British Boxing License: He Says 'I Know the Boss'
Chris Eubank Sr, renowned in the boxing world, has stepped into the ongoing saga surrounding his son Chris Jr's potential fight with Conor Benn. Eubank Sr now claims he could facilitate Benn obtaining a British boxing license, asserting his influence by stating, "I know the boss."
Following the cancellation of their first proposed fight due to Benn's adverse findings in pre-fight drug testing, speculation has persisted about a potential rematch between the two British fighters.
Expressing concerns about the weight difference between Benn and his son, Eubank Sr reiterated his stance, insisting that he would only support the fight if it were arranged at a catchweight.
However, a hurdle remains as Benn currently lacks a license from the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC). Eubank Sr proposed a solution during an interview with talkSPORT Boxing, suggesting his involvement to reinstate Benn's license, citing his close connection to the authority figure.
"I get involved, I get his licence back. I know the boss, I'm very close to the boss," Eubank Sr affirmed, refusing to disclose further details about the individual in question.
In addition to addressing Benn's licensing issue, Eubank Sr advocated for his nephew, Harlem Eubank, to be considered for a bout against Benn. With Harlem boasting an impressive record of 19 unbeaten fights, Eubank Sr believes he deserves the opportunity. However, he emphasized that the ultimate showdown remains with Chris Eubank Jr, highlighting the anticipation surrounding a potential clash between the two.
As the saga unfolds, boxing fans eagerly await developments to see if Eubank Sr's influence can pave the way for Benn's licensing and potentially lead to the highly anticipated matchups in the future.
