Eubank Jnr vs Conor Benn 2: Behind the Scenes | Matchroom Boxing

I'm excited to get back here, it brings back some good memories. No one occasion, one event for British Boxing, so I'm sitting here, standing here, just going. World Ants Chris, World Ants Chris, because we did that. Do you know what I mean? It takes two to tango and... They covered all of them. Yeah, he was my dancing partner. No one else could have done that but him, you know what I mean? That's a good concept, right? Yeah. Who knows, maybe we'll shake hands after the fight. All right. Behind every line. Very good. Pretty tough, man. Goal is to fight at West Ham Stadium. That's the plan. Five years. Ten years, ten years. What are you saying? Because I've got to watch you. No, I'll speak the truth. No, no, no, no, no, spilling the sparring rumors. Oh, no, I'm not doing none of that. Go back. You're William Scott, yeah. No, no, no, no, no, that was it. Well, I thought he was going to frigging win it. I'm not fanning no more, keeping me mouth shut. Oi, he was all right, he just had a little bit. Hello, Sholoms. How are you, mate, all right? BOMAC, eh? Yes, it's BOMAC. Listen, as I say, he's taken it very seriously. He was shocked, I think, last time, wasn't he? Yeah. Ain't coming off, is it? Prick. Well, a very good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Here we go again, as we kickstart the build-up to what promises to be another truly epic night here at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, just like their fathers did all those years ago. To my left, the man chasing revenge, the man chasing redemption, Conor Benn. And we also welcome to the stage, at this time, the victor from the epic collision here in April, ladies and gentlemen, Chris Eubank Jr. Firstly to you, Conor Benn, what have you perhaps learned about yourself since April? Yeah, listen, I mean, it's always hard processing a loss. Nobody prepares to lose. You know, it's taught me a lot. It's taught me a lot about myself. I want to go back to the drawing board and work and learn, gain experience, and experience was gained. So, no doubt, November 15th, you get that version. Chris, has your opinion on Conor Benn changed since the first fight as a person, as a fighter? Do you respect him more than you did then? What a crazy, crazy world we live in today. For my entire life as a professional fighter, I have been the villain and the bad guy. Now, the funny thing is, if you speak to this side of the table, Eddie Hearn will tell you, as he told the world after the fight, that Conor Benn is, in fact, the people's champ. I mean, wow! That is, that's incredible. Conor Benn, you did it, huh, kid? The people's champ. Conor Benn, he put on a great fight. He went out there and he did what I did not expect him to do but, you know, I'm gonna tell you right here and now, you ain't no champ. You keep letting Eddie Hearn blow smoke up your ass and you're gonna end up being even more of an embarrassment than he is. They did everything they could to try and destroy me in this last fight. Contract breaches, fines, rehydration clauses, sabotage weigh-in, biased commentary and refereeing, the list goes on, it's endless. Even on fight night, they blocked my team from coming to the stadium for 30 minutes, trying to slow me down and stall me as much as possible to make me late. I've never heard so much waffle in all my life. It's okay, you're gonna hear a lot more. No, no, no, I was, you know, Chris. You're gonna hear a lot more. After the fight, due to severe dehydration, I'm put in an ambulance and I have to go to hospital. I was actually so dehydrated that one of the toenails on my big toe fell off. It actually fell off. It's grown back about halfway now, but anyway. I'm in this ambulance. Jesus, it's not a toenail. I'm in the ambulance and- You still got it? These scumbags blocked that ambulance from leaving the stadium for 20 minutes. This is an intrigue. I'll keep going because this is all being noted. 20 minutes, 20 minutes. Waffle, waffle. What I don't have is someone lying about what happened on the night to try and gain more popularity about your weight cut, about all the bullshit you want to come out with. I don't need to make anything up. You're playing the victim. Listen, you've never had a hard day's work in your life. All right, okay. I don't know why you're talking to me. And you've only had one. You think- And that was the last time. Let me tell you, you're gonna have a real hard night's work on November 15th. Conor, quick one to you. Has your opinion changed on Chris Eubank Jr.? I'm gonna take my hat off to him. You know, cause you need a dancing partner and he was that for me. Did I underestimate him? I did, I genuinely thought I'd knock him out three, four rounds on my heart. Chris, shut up, man. You know, this was the first time in my life that I've ever seen a fighter lose and then go on some type of victory tour. You're going on like you won. You do understand you lost, right? Do you want me to finish? He had all 10 toenails, eh? You do understand you lost, right? Chris, the reality is, while you were sipping food for a straw, I was back in the gym after the fight, ready for September 20th. Why was you not ready? We was locked in September 20th. So if you want to talk about a little tour, I was training meanwhile. What were you doing? I don't need you. No, it's not- It wasn't when he wanted to fight. It's when everybody wanted, when Tarek Ali Sheikh wanted, when the whole team had agreed and arranged for the fight to happen. You know what happens when you have an agreement? So- Do you know what an agreement is? The date is perfect. But do you know what an agreement is? Do you understand? No, I don't know what agreement is. What is it? Well, you're an idiot, that's why. Yeah, all right. It really is the Chris Eubank Jr. Show. I have to say, I'm so happy to see Brian McIntyre here on the venue. Congratulations, Brian Mc. I mean, the performance Terence put on against Canelo the other day was exceptional. So congratulations to you and the Terence Crawford team. Everyone give it up for him. Thanks, man. I appreciate that. How much better do you believe your man, Chris Eubank Jr. can be in this fight? Well, I'll tell you what, and this is no knock on them over there. I believe it's going to be a little bit easier this time. They said I'm too old, coach. They said I don't want it anymore. They said I'm washed up. And they're going to find out. That's right. I feel flattered that you brought a new trainer in. I feel flattered that you brought Bomac in because I know you know you need it. And he's a great coach. You're a great coach, Bomac. And I've got love for you, mate, but you can't polish a turd. Apologies. Chris put up a good fight, but to me, that was Conor at his worst. You know, the funny thing about it, we all keep saying that we made him struggling with a weight, but Chris is IBO middleweight champion. He fights at 160 all the time, the last four fights. I've been at 160. So why are we all saying- And not with a rehydration clause, then. Struggling at the weight. But you understand- Ben, you didn't miss the rehydration clause. You missed his 160 weight. Why are you even up here, bud? I don't even know why you're up here. Conor. No, I don't even know why you're saying that, Paul. Well, we've got to wait for November the 15th, mate, and we see the real Conor. Real Conor. How do you do it, Conor? How do you beat Chris Eubank, Jr.? Less greed. You know, when I had him hurt in there, it felt like I was always one punch away from closing the show. And I was looking for that one punch. What makes you laugh, Chris, when you hear that? All that stuff is going to go out of the window as soon as that first little right hand connects on his chin. And after that, we're going to have fun in there, baby, like I always do. One sentence prediction, Conor. Just finally, one sentence prediction. Listen, it ain't a final prediction. I ain't going to go in there and try and render him unconscious as much as I'd love to. I'm going to go in there and do the best I can with what I can and be disciplined in there. And for you, Chris, final sentence. What happens in the rematch? How do you do it? Again, the parliamentary will be... The proceed... Oh, oh, the master has gone. The master will be the matador. Face to face, once again, Chris Eubank, Jr. and Conor Benn. We also welcome to the stage Dr. Rakan Al-Athi, the managing director of CELA. Thank you very much. I'm just going to be here. Did you have a say in the bar yet, yeah? Did you have a say in the bar yet? I'm just... Did you have a say in the bar yet? To the front, boss. Thank you. He had this point now in his career where he could do whatever he wanted to do. React. I won't even have to press conference, really. I didn't even... I was so not even listening to what you were saying or what ---- was coming out of me. It's just welfare, it's just welfare. I'll get the charity media all lined up in there Hi, Paul. What's up? How you doing? Who you with? Say again? Who you with?
