    Why? Hearn made Golovkin-Brook. He'd make Eubank-Benn.
    It’s Fury-Joshua 2.0, announcements about announcements, it won’t happen.

    I doubt they’re ready to cash Benn out yet too.

      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
      Exactly how I see it playing out.

        I hope it happens. For it to be huge it has to happen now. Benn loses to someone like Thurman and this fight is dead. Benn is unbeaten and taking on the bigger man with only 2 high level losses, it kind of evens out who the public will think wins. If Thurman demolishes Benn, nobody gives a damn about this fight anymore. Nash out.

          I dunno he seems to be trying but then its Hearn wouldn't shock me if he went grave robbing and found some name out of nowhere to fight Benn

              Why do people want to see a unproved 147lber fight at 160/168 lb fighter?

              I just don’t get it

              Weight classes matter

                  Neither can I

                  Eubank for his flaws is legit granite chinned

                  Benn has no chance of hurting him

                  Eubank is stronger, better engined, more durable, punches harder, more experienced and significantly bigger

                  Benn has no advantages

                      Desperate times call for desperate measures.

                      Edward has his DAZN PPV UK launch obligation to fulfil after fumbling the Usyk v Joshua rematch.

                      This bum fight hooking into the past of their pops rivalry gives him something to work with.

                      He should get English vs Benn III as the main event and put their bum sons on the under card - it would sell better
