'It's personal': Eubank Jr and Benn add fuel to fire

Pair face off in London ahead of Saturday’s grudge match
Chris Eubank Jr has vowed to be the matador and treat Conor Benn like a bull when they meet in the ring this weekend.
The pair's long-running grudge will come to a head in a middleweight bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
Eubank Jr escalated the rivalry when he slapped Benn with an egg at a press conference in February. The pair’s 2022 bout was called off on the week of the fight after it emerged that Conor Benn had failed two drug tests – which he blamed on eating too many eggs.
The fighters made their “Grand Arrivals” at Canary Wharf in London yesterday.

Why is Gen Z so obsessed with 'almost relationships'?
Nothing is as romantic as a relationship that never quite happened.
