Nigel Benn has defended Chris Eubank Jr over his father’s comments, after Sr said this weekend’s fight with Conor Benn is a “disgrace”.
On Saturday, Eubank Jr will face Conor at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, more than 30 years after Nigel and Eubank Sr rounded out their own in-ring rivalry. Nigel will be in his son’s corner, but Eubank Sr is expected to be absent after condemning the match-up and hitting out at Jr for slapping Conor with an egg in February.
