BARRY HEARN will be ringside next weekend soaking up the atmosphere and revelling in the nostalgia.

While his son. Eddie, promotes Chris Eubank Jr against Conor Benn at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Matchroom supremo will be remembering the magical days of British boxing when it was the pair's fathers fighting.

"It would be great if we had a war and respect the end of the war with a picture, and the two old men are there as well, I'd like to be in that picture," said Hearn Sr.

Unfortunately for Hearn, the photograph is unlikely to happen. Chris Eubank Sr has no interest in being there, he's strongly against the fight happening because he believes it is dangerous.
