\u201cBecause of the [Benn] incidents and because of the board appealing and everything, we couldn\u2019t get that fight done in time; [Eubank Jr] had to fight Liam Smith. Bingo for Chris Eubank Jr, because he won.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow it\u2019s full steam ahead [for Eubank Jr vs Benn]. I met with Kalle Sauerland yesterday, we had great talks. This fight\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are full steam ahead for this fight. We\u2019re gonna do everything we can, from both sides, to make this fight. Sometimes it doesn\u2019t work out, but look: It\u2019s the biggest fight for Chris Eubank Jr, it\u2019s the biggest fight for Conor Benn. We wanna make it, Kalle wants to make it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we\u2019ll do everything we can, and those conversations began yesterday […] It\u2019s the biggest fight in Britain outside of \u2018AJ\u2019 [Anthony Joshua] vs [Tyson] Fury.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benn is unbeaten as a professional, having predominantly fought at welterweight. Meanwhile, Eubank Jr\u2019s loss to Smith earlier this year was the third defeat of his career. Eubank Jr is a former super-middleweight world champion and a former interim world champion at middleweight. <\/p>\n
