- Weightlifting drama, destructive claims and £375,000 fine tension.
- Thirty years later, the sons rekindled the intense family hatred.
- Eubank JR blamed Benn’s camp because the competition reached its boiling point.
Tensions escalated before the highly anticipated Chris Eubank fought Conor Benn, who accused Benn of deliberately sabotaging his ultimate weight loss.
The 35-year-old British middleweight was fined £375,000 for missing only 11 pounds and 6 pounds in its official weighing on Friday.
“It’s tingling. I’m only 0.05 pounds and now I have to pay someone half a million dollars,” Eubank said. “They shut the scales off early. I asked for urination, but they said no. These are strategies to try to get under the skin.”

Eubank’s frustration stems from what he calls the unfair strategy that Benn’s team employed to derail and gain an advantage.
The drama adds fuel to the fire in this fierce middleweight showdown, a battle that rekinds the competition for family in the 1990s.
Weight loss controversy: £375,000 setback
Eubank vs Benn weighing was conducted with officials from Matchroom, BoxXer and Benn’s coach Tony Simms under the supervision of the British Boxing Commission.
Despite Eubank’s protest, the board has adopted a fine that will be paid directly to Benn.
“They have an agenda – they want that money.” Eubank claims.
Conor Benn, 28, has little sympathy for his opponent. He replied: “He was looking forward to sympathy, but he didn’t get anything from it.”
Hydration clause: The final pre-war challenge
Under the rehydration clause, both fighters must weigh again on Saturday morning and cannot exceed the agreed limit of 11 pounds and 6 pounds.
Benn enters comfortably at 11st 2lb and is expected to reach his limits easily.

However, Eubank is still not sure how to proceed.

This final hurdle adds complexity to Eubank’s preparations for Chris Eubank JR vs. Conor Benn Fight, a battle that has been marked by strict conditions and high bets.
Legacy, stress and redemption
In addition to the weighing dispute, the conflict also carries emotional weight.
Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr. have been fighting in the ring for over 30 years, and now their sons will solve the score.
Their 2022 round was cancelled after Bain failed to test drug, which led to his suspension – not being eliminated until the end of 2024. He insisted that he had never deliberately mixed it.
Despite the psychological harm caused by the fine, Eubank is still focused.
“If they want to see it as their victory, it’s great for them. But, most importantly, their arms are lifted at the end. Who performs at night, represents their last name best,” He said.
