The pair were originally set to meet in 2022, but the bout was called off at the last minute following an adverse finding in Benn’s drug test. 

Contaminated eggs were offered as a potential reason for the finding and with Eubank Jr not buying that explanation, he slapped Benn with an egg when the pair came face to face earlier this year. 

That exchange sparked wild scenes as members of each fighter’s entourage clashed on stage as security desperately tried to intervene. 

With the fight less than two weeks away, the boxing community are speaking out on their verdicts and opinions are coming in thick and fast. 

Padley is the latest fighter to have his say and with both men possessing damaging qualities heading into battle, the Doncaster star has spoken on the contest. 

 "Who knows? Honestly, I don't know who I am picking. I can't nail it down,” said Padley when speaking to the Sheffield Star . 

“Both have advantages and disadvantages. The family names are on the line, so it will be interesting. They are selling it well! They genuinely don't like each other."
