CHRIS EUBANK JR has been warned by his mentor that Conor Benn must remain safe in their super-fight, as his man has beaten up HEAVYWEIGHTS sparring.
Benn and Eubank will be presenting a DAZN pay per view blockbuster at the O2 Arena on October 8, almost 30 years after their fathers' legendary rematch.

Because of their differences in size, the born rivals agreed to meet at a catchweight weight of 157lb.
Eubank Jr., 32, will be lowered from the 160lb division, while Benn, 25 jumps up 10lb above the welterweight limit.
Tony Sims, his coach, claimed that even in normal fight camps they have sparring partners no less than middleweight.
Ronnie Davies, who accompanied Eubank Sr in those classics with Nigel Benn, argued that sparring is not important having seen Jr cause damage in the gym.
SunSport spoke with Davies: "They go on about how great he looks sparring against bigger boys, but it doesn't mean anything.
"I have seen Eubank Jr. beating up heavyweights at the gym, and that was with big gloves on and head guards."
Davies said that he didn't want Eubank to fight Benn ever again because of the brutality of their first fight which he won in round 9.
The rivals were evenly matched at the middleweight weight and super-middle levels for their 1993 rematch, which ended in a draw.
Nigel's son has to gain more experience and weight, while Eubank Jr.'s boxing mentor believes Eubank Jr. is too much.
Davies stated that Eubank Jr was too large and battle-hardened for him.
"Eubank was the same weight as Benn, so I don't think Conor Benn would put the same amount of power on Eubank as his father.
"I believe the ref will need to be protective of him. Who knows? He might be able to do it in boxing."
