Conor Benn has revealed that his main demand for the highly-anticipated showdown with Chris Eubank Jr has been approved.
Eubank Jr and Benn will finally settle their differences this weekend in a fight that is more than two-and-a-half years in the making.
The arch-rivals were originally supposed to face off back in October 2022 before the bout was cancelled at late notice after Benn failed two voluntary drugs tests.
The pair will now meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night in a fight that is being fought at the 160lbs middleweight limit, meaning Benn is moving up two weight divisions.
Amid demands from both camps, Benn has revealed the only thing he asked for was reducing the size of the standard 20ft ring to an 18ft ring upon agreeing to the fight.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "The only thing I asked for in my contract was an 18-foot ring.
"Coming in there to steamroll him? Of course I am. You think I'm coming in there to muck about?
"If you think you're faster than me, prove it. You think you're stronger than me, prove it.
"You think you're smarter than me, prove it. Come and meet me in the middle."
Eddie Hearn, Benn’s promoter, went into greater detail over the request.
He said: "It'll be a nice small ring to have a tear-up in. It might suit Eubank. He may decide to stand and have a shootout.
"Conor can box, by the way, he's got great legs and his movement's very good. It's not like he just comes forward.
"There are very few fighters that are as sharp as Conor Benn early in a fight like that.
"Conor tries to end the fight in the first round, that's why he's so exciting.
"Eubank is not one of those fighters that starts fast out of the gate. Look at the Liam Smith fight, it's a cracking example.
"If he decides to stand and trade, it's all over in three rounds, one way or the other. It will be the British Hagler-Hearns. That's what it'll be."
