Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn – Hatton’s Prediction

Eubank Jr vs Benn: Ricky Hatton Breaks it Down

When speaking to Sky Sports, Hatton was asked who he thinks will win Eubank Jr (34-3, 25 KOs) vs Benn: “A lot of people are favouring Eubank a little bit because let’s have it right, Conor has not boxed nowhere near the level of Chris or the people Chris has fought,” said Hatton.

He continued: “Chris will be boiling himself down a little bit. The last time he did boil himself down a little bit, he ended up stepping in with Liam Smith and got knocked out. That will help Conor. It’s really 50/50 to me but I, knowing Nigel like I do and Conor like I do-the self-belief that Conor has. He has that real self-belief and drive and will to succeed like his Dad did. I think that might give him the edge. So I’m gonna go with Conor.”
