Watch: Chris Eubank Sr claims he’s pulled son out of huge Conor Benn bout

Chris Eubank Sr has claimed he will not let his son fight Conor Benn in what is set to be a huge bout at the 02 Arena next month.

The British pair are due to face off on October 8 at a catchweight of 157lbs, almost 29 years to the day after their fathers fought for the second time. Eubank Sr beat Nigel Benn in their first bout, before the second three years later at Old Trafford was a draw.

However, despite the massive excitement surrounding the upcoming fight between their sons, Eubank Sr is now unwilling to let it go ahead, fearing the weight cut is too dangerous.
