It was 202 days ago, on Saturday April 26, that 67,000 fans made their ways into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to witness what would ultimately be one of the best fights in quite a long time, to be fair.
Two fighters who hated each other – perhaps still do – going head to head in an absolute slog fest. Capturing the nation, the Eubank name would rise, with the Benns falling courtesy of Conor.
It was a bout a long time in the making. Years, in fact. They had been due to do battle back in 2022, before Benn tested positive for banned substance clomifene.
That would be the main ammo for Eubank’s jibes his rivals’ way in the build-up to the April bout. So much so that he at one point slapped an egg across the then-28-year-old’s face. Eggs were blamed for the positive test.
Nonetheless, Eubank dropped a ton of weight, dominated the fight, and was then rushed to hospital with dehydration. Talk about drama.
And that leads us to tonight.
