Eubank Eggs Benn

Is it April yet? Not quite as we have a ways to go until Eubank and Benn fight on April 26th. However the heated family rivalry continues to pick up steam after Eubank slapped an egg across Benn’s face today at a presser. Benn lunged to try and get to Eubank but was held back by a few men. His father however slipped past security and grabbed the throat of Eubank which led to a wild scene where Eddie Hearn backed up his fighter and pushed rival promoter Ben Shalom.

Is it all theatrics? I think not, there is genuine bad blood here amongst the teams which certainly is a great selling point for the fans. My prediction, however, is that Eubank will box to a unanimous decision victory as I believe he is too big and experienced for the younger and smaller Benn. Benn claims he will have the fight done with within two rounds but usually the more emotional a fighter is the worse off for them. Look for Benn to to come out the gates hot on the 26th but fade in the later rounds as Eubank cruises to a sound victory.
