Chris Eubank Jr has revealed he turned down an offer worth "millions" to face bitter rival Conor Benn.
Eubank Jr looked set to face long-term rival Benn last year in a catchweight contest, but the fight was shelved after his rival failed two drug tests with the results released on fight week. He then went on to take on fellow domestic rival Liam Smith who stopped him in a demolition job in Liverpool to derail his world title ambitions.
The 33-year-old had access to a rematch clause but was heavily linked with a rescheduled showdown against Benn in the Middle East, given his rival is currently unable to box in the UK after ripping up his licence. However after weeks of negotiations, it was announced he would activate his clause to a second meeting with Smith, which saw the fight announced for this summer.
