CONOR BENN is gaining weight with a high-calorie diet in preparation for his clash with Chris Eubank Jr.
They will be putting on a spectacular fight for the ages, almost 30 years after their fathers' famous rematch.

According to reports, the bout will be at 157lb. Benn will need to increase his weight by 10lb over his normal 147lb division.
He is not restricted in his ability to eat, despite the fact that he will be fighting for weight.
Benn, 25, stated on BBC Radio that he doesn't need to trim. It's about gaining muscle and getting refueled for my sessions.
"I eat a lot. There are many foods you can eat. I don't like meat and I don't eat much of it. However, I will eat steak on Saturdays.
"I can eat whatever I like, so long as it's healthy and clean."
Eubank Jr., 32, is a career heavyweight at 160lb and has even campaigned to 168lb.
Due to their weight differences, the two will be able to meet at the 154lb middleweight or light-middleweight limit.
Eubank's size makes it possible for a rehydration clause to limit Eubank's weight the next day.
If they come even 1lb over the agreed limit, both boxers will be losing $100,000 (PS81k).
A similar clause was included in the Kell Brook's contract prior to his win over Amir Khan at a February 149lb catchweight.
Brook Jr., 31 years old, and Benn, 25 years old, both fought to fight Brook, but Brook retired after his victory over Khan.
Benn continues to climb the rankings at welterweight to improve on his first world title shot.
Eubank Jr. has become increasingly frustrated by his inability to win championships.
He turned his attention to Benn after their fathers' famous fights in 1990.
Eubank Sr won an epic battle against Nigel, their arch-nemesis. They drew three more years later in 1993.
Their prizefighter sons were left to continue the rivalry three decades later after the trilogy was not realized.
Eubank Jr. said that "It's an exciting fight that's going spark the imagination of British public, that is what I'm proud about."
It's my biggest fight in terms of hype, legacy, and anticipation.
Benn said, "This fight was for the legacy and it was an opportunity that I could not pass up."
