Conor Benn has detailed that he will eat a "high calorie" diet to make weight for his meeting with Chris Eubank Jr.
Benn will return to the ring in arguably the biggest fight of his career when he takes on British rival Eubank Jr on October 8 at London's O2 arena. The pair have been born into a rivalry which has stemmed from their father's legacies, who shared the ring 30 years ago before fighting in a rematch shortly afterwards.
Reports have indicated that the pair will meet at a catchweight of 157lb which will see Benn needing to put on 10lb in comparison to the 147lb limit he usually campaigns at. And 'The Destroyer' has revealed he is able to eat what he wants providing it is high in calories and healthy. “I don’t have to cut, it is about making sure I’m refuelled for my sessions and gaining a little bit of muscle,” Benn said via the Daily Star.
