Conor Benn has warned rival Chris Eubank Jr it will be his "last" fight when the pair finally settle their differences.
Eubank Jr and Benn have held talks over a historic grudge match this year that will mirror the rivalry of their legendary fathers in the ring 32 years on. YouTube star Jake Paul has dragged himself into their rivalry this week after criticising Eubank Jr on social media, following news that an announcement of the fight was delayed due to a weight disagreement.
Paul tweeted: "Conor Benn dirty because he doesn’t want Chris Eubank to have a massive size advantage fight night? No, just wants a fair/safe fight. Rahman can weigh-in at any weight fight night. 200 weigh-in, 214 at noon fight-day, any weight fight night. Stop making excuses Jr."
Eubank Jr quickly responded with an intriguing fight call-out, writing: "Yo Jake Paul. Once I deal with Benn and you take care of Rahman how about me and you go for a couple of rounds. I’ll come in at 160lb, you come in at whatever weight you want. Winner gets CANELO. And don’t worry I am not Tommy Fury, if I say I will do something, it gets done."
Benn has now hit back at the pair, adding: "You won’t fight again after you’ve shared the ring with me, I will be your last fight!" A fan questioned why Benn believes he can stop Eubank Jr in response to his reply on Twitter, to which Benn also continued: "Because I’m about to be relentless with this."
Eubank Jr and Benn have reportedly been negotiating a rehydration clause having previously agreed to fight at a catchweight of 156lb. The pair usually compete in different weight classes with Benn currently campaigning at 147lb and his rival eyeing a title shot at 160lb.

Both fighters have been weighing up their options since Benn defeated Chris Van Heerden while Eubank Jr ousted bitter rival Liam Williams. However it appears set that the pair will compete at London's O2 arena in October.
Eubank Jr previously addressed a potential fight claiming that he doubted a meeting would happen in the near future before reports of an agreement now being made. "What a fight that would be, that would be incredible. The two sons, Chris Eubank Jr. Conor Benn," Eubank Jr previously said when talking about a potential fight with iFLTV. "The likelihood of it, I really doubt that it's gonna happen anytime soon. I see that as something that's probably gonna happen in years to come.
"When I've done everything I want to do at middleweight and we want to have a bit of fun down the line, but who knows." He later added: "We're both doing big things in the boxing world. It doesn't make much sense right now. In a couple years, if Conor Benn fills out a little bit and I wanna have a bit of fun, we can get it on."
