Tyson Fury has weighed in on the potential fight between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. The heavyweight champion's prediction hinges on the weight class where the bout might happen.
The Benn-Eubank rivalry has been going on for years, passed down from their fathers. They nearly fought in October 2022, but things fell apart when Benn tested positive for banned substances.
Since then, Benn has been in a legal battle with the British Boxing Board of Control to clear his name. He announced he was free to fight at the end of last year and has won two low-key contests in the United States.
Eubank Jr, on the other hand, has had a rollercoaster ride. He lost to Liam Smith by knockout but got his revenge in the rematch, knocking Smith out.
In a recent interview with TNTSportsBoxing, Fury shared his thoughts on who would win if Benn and Eubank Jr finally meet in the ring.
"[This is a weight category] thing. If it's at 10 stone or whatever it is, 10 and a half stone, it's going to be Conor Benn, if it's at middleweight, it's probably going to be Eubank."
Fury believes Benn would have the edge at the lower weights, around 10 or 10 and a half stone. But if the fight happens at middleweight, he thinks Eubank Jr will come out on top.
Given that the fight, if it happens, will likely be at middleweight, Fury's final prediction leans towards Eubank Jr winning.
Right now, talks between the two camps are still ongoing. Benn isn't putting all his eggs in one basket, though. He's also eyeing a world title shot, with WBC champion Mario Barrios in his sights.
The Benn-Eubank saga has had its ups and downs, but fans are still eager to see if these two will finally settle their family feud in the ring.
