Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn are getting ready for a big boxing match on April 26. It's a fight between the sons of two boxing legends, and it's got people talking.

Steve Collins, who beat both Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn back in the day, has shared what he thinks about the upcoming fight. Collins, known as "The Celtic Warrior," made a name for himself by being the first person to beat Chris Eubank Sr. He actually beat Eubank Sr twice in 1995, keeping his WBO super middleweight title. Then in 1996, he beat Nigel Benn twice too. Collins never lost a world title fight in his career.

Those fights between Collins, Eubank Sr, and Benn were big news back then. Now, their sons are carrying on the family rivalry, and it's shaping up to be one of the biggest fights in British boxing history.

Conor Benn usually fights at welterweight, but he's moving up to middleweight for this match. He's had an up-and-down career so far, but this fight could be a game-changer for him.

So, what does Steve Collins think about the fight? He told FightHype.com:

"I don't know who's going to win this. I genuinely cannot pick a winner. I can, you know, pick reasons why I think either guy can win. I'm really looking forward to it because it's a good match, and I really can't pick a winner. Both guys are capable of beating each other."

Collins seems to think it's a pretty even match-up. He's excited about the fight and thinks both Eubank Jr and Benn have a good chance of winning.

The fight is set for April 26, and boxing fans are eager to see how it plays out. Will Eubank Jr follow in his dad's footsteps, or will Benn write a new chapter in his family's boxing story? We'll have to wait and see.
