A rehydration clause row is holding back an official announcement regarding Eubank Jr. vs Benn.
Benn normally competes at 147lbs. Chris Eubank Jr. has boxed at the super-middle limit at 168lbs. However, the pair will clash at 156lbs.
Eubank Jr will have to be restricted in regards to how heavy Eubank Jr can enter the ring that evening, to avoid a potentially dangerous mismatch.
To prevent fighters from gaining huge advantage over their opponents, the IBF sanctioning body requires that title fights be limited to 10 pounds.
Eubank Jr. could have a huge advantage over the smaller man, if there are no stipulations in this mouthwatering non title showdown.
Kell Brook and Amir Khan ended their decade-long welterweight dispute last February at a catchweight of 149lbs.
Paul is now joining the fray by attacking Eubank Jr. for trying to maintain an unfair advantage.
"Conor Benn dirty, b/c Chris Eubank doesn't want to have a huge size advantage fight night?" tweeted the American.
