‘I’ll f—k you up right now’: Benn confronts Eubank Jr in Saudi Arabia
Chris Eubank Jr is scheduled to face Kamil Szeremeta tomorrow in Riyadh.
Chris Eubank Jr is set to make his next appearance tomorrow on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol, and Conor Benn has made the trip to Riyadh, confronting Eubank Jr once he spots him at a media event.
“Hey Chris, don’t f-ck up the bag, son. Don’t f-ck up the bag,” Benn would shout in the direction of Eubank Jr.
The pair would then approach each other with Eubank Jr accusing Benn of taking a wimpy approach by confronting him while he’s in a compromised state, working on his weight cut before for tomorrow.
“You would show up on the day I’m cutting weight,” Eubank responded.
The two would then get into the faces of one another, with Benn suggesting he’s ready to throw down with Eubank at any moment.
“You’re lucky you’re fighting tomorrow, I’ll fuck you up right now,” said Benn.
Both Benn and Eubank would then get into a bit of a back-and-forth in front of all the cameras, with Benn saying he’ll be prepared to enter the ring just as soon as Eubank wins tomorrow to challenge him in front of the world.
“It’s okay, man. Let him come close, I like this. I like this energy,” Eubank would respond, prompting a shove from Benn.
“You’re a kid,” Eubank continued. “Watch what happens.”
“You’re lucky you’re fighting tomorrow, and I need you to win,” Benn responded. “You’re lucky, I’ll give you a good ass beating in front of 60,000. That’s what’s going to happen.”
Eubank Jr would keep his composure and then walk away from Benn, saying he got his five minutes of fame and was ready to keep it moving.
A fight between Benn and Eubank Jr has been pushed for quite some time now, and both fighters appear keen on continuing to build it up until they can square away the particulars to make a fight between them happen.
