If his old man is unwell then at least he won't have the concern of Jnr being endangered by stupidity. For what it's worth I think Jnr would've still beaten Benn.

He did an interview with IFL yesterday and addressed all of this, said something along the lines of they'll all be looked after but fights can be cancelled for a multitude of reasons at a minutes notice (injury, illness etc) and that he can't compensate every single one of them, there was no chance that the card could go ahead without the headline fight because they hadn't been given many tickets to sell themselves (usually they get a large portion to sell to family and friends) but due to the popularity of Jr v Benn they didn't bother giving the undercard fighters tickets to flog on their own. He was also asked about the people who paid for accommodation and what not and he said that while the fans will be fully reimbursed for their tickets he won't be getting into conversations via DM with Dave about his B&B that he had to pay for.

The authorities should insist that the promotors have insurance in place in the event that the fight gets cancelled within a short period of time. It sounds like no such protection exists. A fight getting cancelled due to injury or some other unforeseen circumstances is one thing. Because one fighter got caught cheating they should not be allowed to walk away and leave people out of pocket.

I doubt insurance companies would pay out for blatant cheating, especially it being drugs. Knowing the boxing fraternity, some would do it purposely for the pay out if that was the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a “risk” of the fight not going ahead. If not a separate insurance policy the promoter should have to guarantee to pay the costs if the fight doesn’t happen. It puts extra pressure on the fighters not to try and **** cheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing seems to stick unfortunately, He knew alright Looking at it now in the cold light of day, you can't help but feel that Connor Benn really wanted to inflict some harm on Eubank Jr. All that nasty snarling. Let's hope the authorities do the correct thing and at least give him a 4yr ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foll, I was listening to Chris Snr talking to Spencer Fearon on You Tube. From the content and the tone, it seems like Snr and the son have fell out big time. It's really sad if it has come to that especially on the back of the passing of Sebastian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I've just put it on, I was looking forward to having a night of the boxing and saw that it was an all female card so I opted not to bother, I just don't enjoy it, as soon as I have put it on they are talking about Beyonce lol I'll have a look at the main event though.

Johnnyp Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Didn’t even know the Haney - Kambosos rematch was on tonight until i heard about it the other day. That’s why contracted rematches are stupid when the first fight is one sided. I’d be surprised if the outcome is any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
