Conor Benn acknowledges the potential risk of being remembered as a defeated fighter. The 29-year-old is gearing up to rectify his sole career loss by facing Chris Eubank Jr. once again in a highly anticipated rematch set for Saturday night. Their initial intense encounter in April saw Benn fall short, setting the stage for a lucrative second bout where the stakes are not as high.
The ongoing rivalry between the sons mirrors that of their famous fathers, with Chris Eubank Sr. triumphing over Nigel Benn initially, akin to Eubank Jr.’s victory over Benn. Conor Benn, a two-weight world champion like his father, finds himself in a similar position of seeking redemption against his opponent.
In reflecting on his career aspirations and the significance of the upcoming fight, Benn emphasized the importance of leaving a lasting impression through his performances. He aims to be remembered as a fighter who consistently delivers exciting bouts and gives spectators their money’s worth.
The rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn is scheduled to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, November 15. Fans can access the fight through DAZN PPV for £24.99 or with a DAZN Ultimate plan.
Looking ahead, Benn remains open to the idea of a potential trilogy fight with Eubank Jr., contingent on the outcome of their upcoming clash. However, his primary focus lies on transitioning to his natural weight class at 147lb to pursue world titles and solidify his legacy as a champion. Regardless of the results, Benn is determined to move past this chapter and concentrate on achieving his ultimate goal of becoming a world champion.
