EDDIE HEARN claims moving up 10lbs to fight Chris Eubank Jr is an easier fight for Conor Benn than facing any of his welterweight rivals.
Hearn says Benn jumped at the chance to fight Eubank in their 157lbs catchweight contest at the O2 on Saturday because he is so confident of winning.
The Matchroom chief dismissed the challenge posed by Eubank, claiming he is inferior to any of the opponents they were considering at 147lbs.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime fight and it’s an easier fight than the fights we talked about at 147,” said Hearn.
