Promoter Eddie Hearn Confirms Long-Awaited Fight
After months of anticipation, promoter Eddie Hearn has finally confirmed that the highly anticipated grudge match between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr will take place in January. The two fighters were initially set to face off last October, but the fight was derailed due to failed drug tests. Negotiations have resumed, and Hearn is confident that the fight will come to fruition.
Conor Benn's Fight License in Question
Despite returning to the ring in September for a short-notice bout, Conor Benn is currently not licensed to compete in the UK. Both the British Boxing Board of Control and UK Anti-Doping appealed a ruling that cleared Benn of intentionally taking a banned substance. However, Hearn is optimistic that Benn's license will be reinstated in time for the fight.
Final Negotiations Underway
Negotiations for the highly anticipated match have reached the final stages, with both sides working to finalize a deal. The fight could potentially take place at either the Principality Stadium or the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Hearn expects an agreement to be reached as early as next week and is hopeful that the fight will finally happen.
