“Thinks He Is Something Special”: Fans Slam Conor Benn As His Reaction Video To Liam Smith Defeating Chris Eubank Jr In First Fight Resurfaces

This weekend, on September 2nd, Liam Smith will square off against Chris Eubank Jr. for the second time. The two boxers met each other in the ring for the first time back in January of this year. ‘Beefy,’ was evidently the more superior boxer and secured a stoppage victory in the fourth round after flooring him twice. Moreover, the two collide again and Conor Benn is here for it. Before their contest, ‘The next-gen,’ was supposed to face Benn. However, ‘The destroyer,’ failed his pre-fight drug test, and the bout was postponed indefinitely.

However, Benn is sanctioned to compete and is a potential opponent for both. Needless to say, he would be paying close attention to the fight; to the extent that he might be in attendance. A video resurfaced in the boxing world in which Benn was trolling Eubank Jr. after his defeat. Witnessing this, the fans lashed out at Benn for his comments and for being in attendance for the fight given his current controversy.

Benn has been adamant about not taking any banned substances. In an interview, he revealed that the positive result may be due to consuming a lot of eggs.
