Conor Benn said to Chris Eubank Jr: “I’m going to push you back the second time!” | Boxing news
Conor Benn warned Chris Eubank Jr: “I’m going to take you back the second time”.
Benn and Eubank Jr, the sons of the legendary rivals Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank, met a huge 12 round competition in April.
Eubank Jr won a unanimous decision in the first fight, but they will have their revenge match on November 15, also at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The first spectacular fight saw Eubank Sr making a surprise appearance on the side of his son, triggering an electric atmosphere for a special competition.
“This is the real version of Creed,” said Benn Sky Sports News. “I would have bet the money that Senior not introduce oneself. I would have thought it would be an obstacle to junior with him. But ultimately, it was a feeling of pride. It was a tribute to our fathers, for our fathers for having paved this way for us.
“This is the first time that has been done in the history of boxing, it is generational. I am like my father, he is like his father and finally if a man was going to present himself as he presented himself, that was not going to be my father. It was the role of senior.”
Benn, however, is now convinced that he can obtain a revenge victory in their revenge match.
“He came strong in the last laps because I felt that he thought he was losing the fight,” said Benn. “It was not a flight, the best man won the night and it was due to my lack of discipline.
“It is about sticking to the tactics and the game plan. Rather than going there and trying to inflict pain and damage, for me, I should have been more disciplined, more calculated and punches in clusters.
“I was so impatient to enter and do damage, which you might say that I did. But for me, it’s about winning this time.”

After the announcement of revenge between Chris Eubank vs Conor, here is an overview of the end of the first fight.
He added: “I had the impression that I could have associated it, I had the impression that it was vulnerable. At one point, I could have had it, but the moment never came because I never chose my photos. There was no selection of shooting. So, it’s just a question to use this experienced experienced.
“I will always be a fierce and dangerous fighter. I will always be the fighter who puts everything in play and takes risks. But these are calculated risks. He goes in there and fights with my head, not my heart.”
