Joshua vs Breazeale: Conor Benn reacts to Chris Eubank row
Wednesday 22 June 2016 17:54, UK
Conor Benn believes violence would have erupted had his father Nigel been there for the press conference row with Chris Eubank.
Conor Benn, who is preparing for his fourth professional bout on a card which sees Chris Eubank Jr defend his British middleweight title, took exception to Eubank Sr expressing his opinion on the absence of his former rival - 'The Dark Destroyer'.
Having interjected and demanded Eubank stop speculating on his personal life during the open press conference, Benn was asked how it might have been different had his own father been present and told Sky Sports in an exclusive interview: "I think there would have been fists flying all about the room.
"He'd have said, 'I don't like him; No 1. No 2; don't talk about my son in a disrespectful manner'. I just think it was very unnecessary and very uncalled for.
"Who knows what he's doing? He's all over the gaff. He doesn't know what his right hand is doing. He wants to talk about me but what really does he know about me and my personal life?
"He wants to sit in front of all those cameras and talk about my personal life? Excuse me. Don't do that, mate."
Watch Chris Eubank Jr vs Tom Doran and Conor Benn v Lukas Radic as part of Joshua vs Breazeale, live on Sky Sports Box Office from The O2, on June 25. Book the event online here.
