'His dad don't even like him' - Conor Benn hits out at rival Chris Eubank Jr
The war of words between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn continued on Tuesday with the first of two pre-fight press conferences this week, the first of which took place in Manchester.
Benn hit out at his "unlikeable' rival amid a conspicuous absence from the dais. Flanked by his father, former two-division world champion Nigel Benn, the younger Benn pointed out that Eubank Sr was not at his son's side on Tuesday.Â
Speaking after Eubank Jr interrupted the opening statement by his promoter, Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn, Benn noted the absence of Eubank Sr and attributed it to his rival's attitude.
"Chris can say what he wants, but the bottom line is his dad don't even like him," Benn said. "You could not pay that man enough money to sit in this man's corner.
"Now that's an accomplishment, Chris. That's an accomplishment, well done. Most unlikeable geezer on the planet, even your own dad don't like you."
Eubank and Benn will square off April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, live worldwide on DAZN, finally getting into the ring together after years of bad blood between the British fighters.
