The lack of respect from Hearn towards Sr is something that’s always irked me. That man bled to pay for your private school fees. Eubank put Barry Hearn on the map, Eddie seems to forget that. The fact he was willingly going to put his son in the ring with a fighter who’d failed a test is disgraceful.

Who put the peds in Connor? Yes, it's good fight was postponed for another day, Eubanks health is of utmost importance. But it sure is frustrating at the same time - cancelled a day before fight

I thought it was a bag of ****e fight anyway. Junior should have taken a few risks and got a decent fight by now. Benn should have been calling out WW prospects !

I'm impressed with Sr. here who has already lost a boy in recent times and is obviously heartbroken. He wanted Jr. to have no part of this freak fight from the start and told him many months ago to leave it and let it ferment. Knowing it was NOT the right way to go with a guy two weight divisions down and told him he would get the same if not more fighting BJS or Canelo and knowing the respect that that would bring BUT Jr. is not cut from the same cloth and just wants an easy route using daddies named doing little else since his two fights with decent guys ended in losses. I hope that Sr. keeps his promise and roots out Kalle and Eddie Hearn here as the were hell bent on trying to still get the 'fight' going knowing one of the fighters had failed a drug test by the independent tester that Hearn was so behind until it was his fighter and his money!!!!

maybe he doesnt want to put more pressure on nigel by saying this at this sensitive time, bit of a silly thing to say actually, he cant see into the mind of another, others are not putting drugs into little benn without him knowing it, huh - he could also be suffering from the after affects of his mental hospital stay as well, delusions are part of mental health issues

I said Benn is being poisoned, he's hooked. The thing is, he has to want to quit, nobody is stopping the facilitators, that's suicidal, end up in the river.

Brother I’m glad there are old school fans like you on this site. Nigel Benn had always been my favourite fighter of all time and I will never forget those Eubank fights and you are so right, disrespecting Eubank is just another sign of the narcissism that comes from that man. I sure hope Sr doesn’t rest and takes whatever means he needs to do pursue action against those that pushed for this fight to happen and suppressed the dirty sample

What is irritating is they let it simmer, then cancel the fight at the last minute.
When did the fighters get tested, weeks before fight night?
And they announce the result 2 days before the fight? What a needless waste.
