Chris Eubank Jr has admitted he is upset by his father's fears over the weight cut for his upcoming fight with Conor Benn.
Eubank Jr is set to touch gloves with Benn at London's O2 arena on October 8 after agreeing a catchweight bout with his rival. The pair have been thrust into an intense feud over 30 years on from their fathers doing battle in two of the most iconic boxing clashes in British boxing history.
The pair have signed the fight at a 157lb catchweight which will represent a step-up of 10lb for Benn, while Eubank Jr will be forced to drop three pounds to his lowest weight since he was 18. Eubank S r expressed concerns over his son's health despite his agreement to make the weight cut, and is now unlikely to be in his corner for the fight.
