how is this fight being allowed surely it’s a new low for Eddie Hearn and matchroom.

Surely any result will be questioned by the opponent.

Meanwhile, Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn said: “Conor Benn is back, and I’m looking forward to seeing him pick up where he left off. He’s ready to go straight in for a big fight now“

Benn - ““A return on Saturday is a step closer to redemption.”

Hardly.

It's shown boxing for what it is - it is in a very sad place at the moment.

Sadly very true, at least I grew up with the greats Duran /Hagler/Hearns /Leonard/etc , ohh to have those days back

Eddie Hearn is simply losing his credibility - bit of a laughing stock really. It would have been interesting to see how Sky dealt with these issues had he still been in partnership with then rather than that obscure overpriced streaming platform!

Some brilliant bouts between them lads and none of them ducking each other.

Did you hear Malik Scott talking about it on Talksport yesterday, might be a little fallout from his first sentance.
