Eubank Jr. was set to face Conor Benn for a showdown at the O2 Arena. However, the bout was canceled after Benn failed a drug test. It should also be noted that this happened barely three days before the highly anticipated bout. And the British Boxing Board of Control also announced that the fight was called off.
Paul on the other decided that this was the perfect time to reignite their online feud. The duo had previously exchanged words on social media. Especially after Eubank Jr. suggested that they face each other inside the ring.
He had written, “Yo @jakepaul. Once I deal with Benn & you take care of Rahman how about me & you go a couple rounds. I’ll come in at 160 you come in at whatever weight you want.”

Chris Eubank will prefer a world title opportunity. If he loses to Benn that’s the only way he fights you and then it will be your funeral

Surely a fight like this wouldn’t even get sanctioned? A high level world champion level competing boxer vs somebody who has never fought a guy that has more than 3 boxing bouts.
