Benn Suggests Punishment for Eubank Jr Slap

The rivalry between these two has grown considerable since their original fight in 2022 was cancelled due to two failed drug tests by Benn. The return to the ring of Benn became a reality once the UK Anti-Doping and British Board of Boxing Control decided not to appeal the decision to lift his suspension.

Following the second presser, Benn was asked by Fight Hub TV how he thinks the April 26 fight with Eubank Jr will play out: “I believe I’ll get the stoppage within the first four rounds.”

He was also asked what punishment he thinks Eubank should get for slapping him with an egg: “I think he should get a million pound fine for the slap. Just due to the profile of the fight, I feel like it would be an injustice if it was anything less than a million pound,” said Benn.
