Pair face off in London ahead of Saturday’s grudge match

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

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.

Burnham could win if Farage continues his Lowe obsession

Why is Nigel Farage so scared of his shadow? His party is fighting a by-election against a Labour candidate who, if he wins, is likely to become prime minister. This is Farage’s chance to change the course of history: if Reform’s Robert Kenyon can beat Andy Burnham, the Labour government might go into a tailspin.
