Eddie Hearn will seal any deal to make Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn happen; A sign of desperation?

In his latest conversation with Boxing Social, promoter Eddie Hearn stated how close they are currently to staging the Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn fight. According to Hearn, before the unprecedented cancellation, last year the bout was the fastest-selling boxing event at the O2 Arena in London. Likewise, the promoter branded Eubank Jr. vs. Benn “a huge fight” in the sport. Hence, addressing his firm belief in the bout coming to fruition, Hearn said, “I think we’re very close to making that fight. I’d be lying to you if I told you we’re not really motivated to make that fight, because we really want to. It’s a huge fight.” Hearn even commented on how desperate he was in staging the said event.

In fact, given the prospect of commercial success, Hearn assured Boxing Social that he would attend any meeting and seal all the required deals to make the fight possible for the sport. “It was the fastest-selling boxing event at the O2.

Given the duo’s mutual desire to fight, Hearn stated, “I believe it will happen.” Although he could not mention a specific month, Hearn is hopeful the bout will take place by the end of 2023.

Recently, Benn ran into retired boxer Kell Brook. The duo even spoke about facing each other in the ring. Meanwhile Benn, with a “death wish”, suggested a potential bout with Brook. “Could be August, September, December. It doesn’t have to be in Abu Dhabi,” added Eddie Hearn speaking about the time the duo could possibly share the ring against each other.
