Everyone is waiting for the British Board’s decision on Conor Benn’s eligibility to fight in the UK. The National Anti-Doping Panel cleared Conor Benn, but an appeal is in process. Thus, reigniting interest in his delayed fight with Chris Eubank Jr. As well known, Chris is fresh off his rematch victory against Liam Smith. So, he is on the lookout for his next challenge and Benn is a promising prospect.

With their ongoing verbal feud, Conor Benn has revealed that the fight has become “too personal” for him. As we all know, trace amounts of Clomiphene in Benn’s urine canceled his October 2022 fight with Eubanks. They were set to fight in a catchweight match. The World Boxing Council (WBC) later cleared Benn, stating no intentional doping. And recently, Eddie Hearn hinted at the fight finally taking place this December. However, as all boxing fans know nothing is final until fighters put their signatures on the dotted line. However, Benn is not letting up in his training as the high-stakes potential fight against Eubank Jr might just be around the corner. A recent video of him training has drawn an array of sarcastic comments from fans.

Fans think Conor Benn shouldn’t be allowed to “enter any boxing ring” against Chris Eubank Jr

Eddie Hearn wants the Conor Benn-Chris Eubank Junior fight to happen in the UK. Hearn is okay with moving it overseas if Benn can’t fight in the UK. Furthermore, a Daily Mail report stated that Hearn has secured a deal for the fight in the Middle East on December 23 if Benn isn’t cleared in the UK. The fight date is quite close and Benn has a lot to prove. In the video, we see him working on the pads ahead of his forthcoming challenge. But, fans have ridiculed him comparing him “beating pads” to “making an omelette.”

One fan believes Benn shouldn’t even be allowed to fight Eubank, who they consider to be a classier boxer. The fan writes, “He is not allowed enter any boxing ring with Classy Eubank.”

Next, another fan implies that Benn might be using performance-enhancing drugs, referring to it as “dr*g power.”

However, a sarcastic fan suggests that sometimes you have to take risks to achieve something, using the metaphor of “beating pads to make an omelette.” The fan quips, “Sometimes you have to beat pads to make an omelette or something like that.”

Yet, another user argued, “Not bad but Chris eubank jr hits harder and faster. Without eggs”
