Eddie Hearn stormed out of journalism meeting after Eubank Jr proceeded his pre-fight shenanigans of not allowing the Matchroom marketer talk without disruption.

“I can’t wait for Conor Benn to smash you to pieces,” Hearn stated prior to making his leave.
“I’m going to introduce you to scumbag number two, Frank Smith, come and take over.”
To which Eubank Jr included: “Frank, if Eddie isn’t speaking, do you think you’re going to get a word in?
“We’re going to have some parliamentary procedure here, anything Matchroom, Eddie Hearn or Frank Smith has to say is irrelevant and will not be heard.”

“Denzel Bentley had his hands full with Conor,” Nigel Benn stated.
“He then fought (Bruno) Surace who knocked out (Jaime) Munguia and Conor bullied him around.
“Then to put the cherry on top he sparred William Scull, an IBF champion. In round eight he quit, he just stopped and he couldn’t take no more. I just thought ‘my little boy just damaged the IBF champion’.
“I don’t believe this fight (vs Eubank) goes past four rounds.”
It was disclosed on Thursday that previous opponent of Eubank Jr, Billy Joe Saunders has actually been employed by the Benn group to examine his hand covers prior to the bell rings in what is the most up to date act of mind video games in between both camps.
