The final press conference took place a short time ago for Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr in the big fight in the UK this weekend.
Some interesting quotes a short time ago.
Conor Benn was calm, relaxed, but serious and focused and said at one point:
“You are funny Chris. You make me laugh. Just focus on getting the weight off fat boy.”
Eubank Jr said on the weight cut:
“The weight is painful.”
Benn replied:
“Good.”
Chris Eubank Jr later said:
“What is pain? I have a brother buried in the desert. That’s pain.”
Eubank Jr responded to claims by some that Billy Joe Saunders may check his gloves before the fight:
“It’s irrelevant. Hand wraps is not going to save Conor Benn from the a** kicking he’s about to receive.”
Benn replied:
“Oh, scary.”
Benn ended by saying:
“I’m coming in there to take his head off.”
Chris Eubank Jr then said:
“Legacy indeed (motivation for the fight). I am confident. I still want that million pound bet that Eddie Hearn said he wants to do.”
Eddie Hearn laughed near the end:
“If I won’t face any penalties on my licence, I will consider it.”
