His two goals left in the sport are to become a two-weight world champion and star in the biggest fights, with Easter Road Stadium a target. In the UK, no welterweight offers a bigger spectacle than Benn, particularly if he can get through Eubank next week.

Chris Eubank Jnr has paid the fighters who lost out when his date in 2022 with Conor Benn was cancelled. Their fight in October 2022 was abandoned just days in advance when it emerged that Benn had failed two drugs tests.

Nigel Benn does not train Conor Benn, but he is supportive of his son’s career and is often seen training alongside him in camp. Being a former world champion and knowing the sport inside out, Nigel is on hand to assist his son through his arduous preparations in the hope that his experience can help get Conor through tough days.
