    Hearn said down the line maybe in a few years but right now they are trying to get Thurman

      That statement doesn't mean much. It ends in a lie so the whole thing could all be a lie.

        Isn't Eubank with Boxxer? Would that be an impediment as Hearn would like to keep it on DAZN and if Eubank is with Shalom, I can't imagine he'd be fine with that happening.

        There are better fights for Benn (and for Eubank Jr for the that matter) I'd like to see.

          Wasserman. I'm not sure if Eubank is exclusive to Sky or anything. I'd assume not if this fight actually takes place.

            Looks like it's true. Disgusting match up from Hearn. Benn's career might be over before it began.

              Not happening. No chance in hell IMO.

                This is a great money fight for both men.

                I think Eubank would win on points and Benn could come out of it OK and able to resume his career at 147 without much damage.

                I don't see this as a Brook/GGG situation as Eubank will be weight drained and will dance his way to a win.

                  No - Hearn has kept saying that he’s been in “negotiations” with Thurmans team, which means he sent an email to PBC that was ignored.

                  Benn isn’t fighting Eubank or Thurman…. Hearn will be name-dropping them in every interview leading up to him announcing some D-list American opponent

                    Why? Hearn made Golovkin-Brook. He'd make Eubank-Benn.
