Chris Eubank Jr's historic fight with Conor Benn will take place next month, despite Chris Snr's concerns over his son's health.
Eubank Jr and Benn are scheduled to meet at The O2 on October 8 as they rekindle their dads' rivalry, 30 years on from their rematch at Old Trafford. But Eubank Sr claimed yesterday that he would do whatever it took to prevent the fight taking place.
The boxing legend has concerns over his son agreeing to a catchweight of 157lb having not fought below 160lb as a professional. But Eubank Jr's promotion Kalle Sauerland insists the fight will take place, telling talkSPORT: "the fight is absolutely on. That’s all I can say about it, it came from one comment to a journalist that spread like wildfire. We don't have a contract with Chris Eubank Sr we only have one with Chris Eubank Jr.
