Chris Eubank Jr.

You’re the naturally heavier fighter. How much of an advantage is that for you?

“This fight isn’t about size or weight. It’s about skill. It’s about dedication. It’s about expertise and all those areas in which I excel in. I have many, many more years of experience over Conor Benn, and that will be the deciding factor of the night.”

What kind of statement are you looking to make on Saturday as you look into that fight?

“The procedure will be parliamentary. That’s the only thing I can say about the outcome of this fight. If everything goes the way I want it to go – I will be like a matador in that ring and Conor Benn will be the bull.”

Conor Benn 

This is your middleweight debut. How are you feeling?

“I feel prepared. I’ve done everything I possibly can in the gym and left no stone unturned.” 

Is this fight personal or strictly business?

“It’s always personal. Every opponent I fight is personal. People want to say it’s strictly business, but it’s never business. If you’re trying to put your hands on me and render me unconscious, it’s never business. It’s always personal with every single one of my opponents, but this one has a little bit more history to it.”
