Nigel Benn wants his son Conor to fight Chris Eubank Jr at 160lb if the fight can be rescheduled following the young star's failed drugs test.
Benn was set to meet bitter rival Eubank Jr in a huge domestic dust-up last week, over 30 years on from their fathers' first meeting in the ring. However after weeks of build-up and anticipation, the fight was cancelled at the last minute following the British Boxing Board of Control's decision to prohibit the fight.
It remains unclear if the fight can be rescheduled with Benn currently under investigation and facing a potential ban from the sport if he is found guilty. Controversy had already surrounded the fight prior to the test, with Eubank Jr's father declaring his unhappiness with his son being required to cut his weight to 157lb, three lower than his optimum 160lb weight.
