Boxing Fight: Conor Benn’s public statements after their scheduled fight in October was cancelled haven’t moved Chris Eubank Jr.
The fight between Benn and Eubank was called off after he failed a drug test.
Conor Benn said on social media earlier this month that his team had “proved my innocence and the truth will soon come out.”
Eubank has changed. On January 21, he competes in a high-calibre middleweight match against British foe Liam Smith.
Eubank, though, was not impressed by Benn’s remarks. “Boring. Not enough. Too late,” Eubank remarked to Sky Sports.
No matter what you claim to be able to say or ‘prove,’ public opinion won’t alter.
“People assume you’re a cheat because you failed two drug tests, and that’s it.”
A 270-page paper that Benn allegedly provided to the WBC in an effort to cleanse his record has been used as evidence.
However, Eubank does not anticipate it will alter recent consensus among perspectives.
“Nobody, not even scientists, attorneys, or 270-page studies, can persuade the general population to change their minds. Simply put, that won’t happen, not after a three-month radio blackout. Although it will be intriguing to see what they come up with, I sincerely doubt it will benefit the man “Eubank remarked.
Sky Sports have approached Benn’s reps for comment.
Eubank does anticipate fighting Benn “at some point.”
“That fight will happen, whether it’s next year or in ten years, and when that fight does happen, that’s a stadium fight,” he remarked. That [fighting in a stadium] is absolutely on my bucket list.
“I’m sure I have at least one, and there are a few other names out there who would also be fighting in stadiums. Thus, the stadium brawls will take place during the following two years.”
Eubank has ambitious goals for himself. But Liam Smith stands in the way of his aspirations. They will square off on January 21 at the Manchester Arena in the year’s first significant fight.
