Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn are just one month away from settling their rivalry following a bad-tempered build-up

The pair will meet on April 26, live on DAZN , and a sell-out crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London is expected. 

The fight was set to take place in 2022, but the fight was pulled at the last minute after it was revealed there was an adverse finding in Benn’s pre-fight drug test. 

One reason for the issue was blamed on contaminated eggs and Eubank Jr reminded Benn of that when they met at a press conference to hype the event.   

When the pair came face to face, Eubank Jr slapped his opponent with an egg leading to chaotic scenes that also involved Eddie Hearn and Nigel Benn

With the entire boxing world excited by the event, it appears that everyone holds some sort of opinion on the fight. 

Joe Calzaghe, who shared the ring with Chris Eubank Sr in 1997, knows what takes to step into the ring when so much pride is at stake. 

The Welshman, who finished his career unbeaten, was involved in many high-profile bouts, and he has provided his verdict on who he thinks will be victorious next month. 

“Yeah I think it’s a tough one to call,” said Calzaghe when discussing the fight with Talksport .

“Talent-wise I think they’re on the same sort of level but size normally size wins fights, so I sort of edge with Eubank as he’s the bigger guy naturally.”
