Eubank Sr ripped apart as Nigel Benn shares | Boxing News

Nigel Benn has sworn off ever talking to Chris Eubank Sr again, following his son’s victory over Chris Eubank Jr. Nigel was unsuccessful in his two makes an attempt to defeat his rival during their bouts in the Nineties; struggling a loss in Birmingham before a contentious draw in Manchester.

His son initially misplaced his first struggle with an Eubank Jr in April, but redeemed himself with a decisive factors win on Saturday night time. The fathers had been introduced together earlier in the week for a staged face-off, but Eubank Sr used the chance to accuse Benn of mendacity about him receiving cost to attend their sons’ first struggle. On Saturday night time, Benn retaliated, explaining: “At the press conference…I’ll say it now, we had a face-off.

“He is dancing because he loves the limelight. He would not care about his son, he just loves the limelight. And he’s dancing, he got here proper next to me and I assumed, ‘Let me just shake your hand’, so I pulled him in for a hug and he put his hand up to me.

“And I actually felt like I wanted to…so when he tried to shake my hand tonight, I thought, ‘I ain’t playing your games, mate.’ I don’t think I’ll even speak to him again, because I find him a right prat.

“He is an fool. He tries to quote scripture and all that, he do not even know what he’s speaking about. I just cannot get him. When you’ve them two around you, every thing is just so unfavorable.

“Back in the day, we never talked disrespectful about our promoters that are putting money in our banks and giving us a good life. We never did that with Frank Warren or Mickey Duff, we never slagged them off, but the way he (Eubank Jr) talks about Eddie Hearn, how disrespectful is he?

“Both of them. And then Eubank is always speaking about, ‘We’re struggling at the weight, they are going to kill my son.’ Mate, he is been a middleweight for how many years?

“He has been IBO champion, but as soon as he fights a welterweight, ‘Oh we have problems.’ Always bloody moaning. Always. I tell you what, I’m sick to death of them to tell the truth and I am glad it’s over now. I am glad it’s over now and we won’t have hear about them anymore.”
