'FIGHTING WITH PURE RAGE HAS BENN AND GONE'

CONOR BENN has warned Chris Eubank Jr his red mist from their first blockbuster clash has been replaced with a zen-like cool for the sequel.

A bitter Benn fought on raw emotion seven months ago when he lost in their long-awaited grudge match.

He failed to keep his raging temper in check as he sought to bring a violent end to their near three-year feud.

Benn's seek-and-destroy mentality convinced him he could obliterate Eubank Jr (below) and send him into retirement.

But his expensive battle to clear his name after two failed drug tests had consumed him with such hatred he now questions whether he was ready to fight at all.

Benn has the chance to correct his mistakes and exact his revenge in the rematch tomorrow night.
