Chris Eubank Sr and Simon Jordan involved in heated talkSPORT exchange as the pair spar over Conor Benn potentially facing the British boxing legend’s son

Chris Eubank Sr and Simon Jordan went head to head in a heated exchange on talkSPORT on Thursday as they discussed the possibility of Conor Benn finally facing Chris Eubank Jr this year.

Benn and Eubank Jr. was scheduled to fight in October 2022, only for the grudge match to be canceled just two days before after the former failed two drug tests.

Benn is still trying to clear his name and tried to reschedule the fight at the turn of the year, but the two sides could not come to an agreement and he will now take on little-known American Peter Dobson this weekend.

There is still the potential for the fight to finally be arranged, but Eubank Sr is completely against it as he wants his son to move up to 168 pounds for the latter stages of his career. The British boxing legend previously claimed he would do everything in his power to stop that fight, while making the case for his nephew, Harlem Eubank, to face Benn instead at welterweight.

Jordan is not convinced a clash is on the cards, angering Eubank Sr when he accused Jordan of being ‘two-faced’ and suggested he kept changing his mind about whether he wanted to see Eubank Jr -The Benn match. But Jordan was having none of it and hit back as the pair went straight for air.

The pair argued over who Conor Benn could potentially face later this year

Eubank Sr. has made it clear that he does not want to see Benn welcome his son, Chris Eubank Jr

‘I have always completely agreed with you. Either you haven’t listened or I haven’t made it clear. I’ve always completely agreed with you on that (Eubank Jr-Benn) fight,’ Jordan insisted.

Eubank Sr replied: ‘When we last had that interview on your show Up Front, you said this: “so you’re going to stop it? How are you going to do it?”‘

Because I thought what you said was ridiculous and I still do,’ Jordan replied.

“Now it’s showing the third face or the second face,” Eubank Sr. said.

‘No it doesn’t, it’s the same face. You just don’t like what I’m saying,’ Jordan replied.

‘I never agreed with your son fighting Conor Benn, never agreed. Never. I thought it was a bad match for both of them.

‘My point is that the Harlem Eubank fight against Conor Benn is not happening for two reasons. The economy isn’t there, you might think you can get them, and Conor Benn has a serious problem trying to overcome the wishes of the UK regulator because they’ve gone into the public domain with them.

‘Now I hope he does. So if he does, then we can have that conversation. At no time did I ever say your son should fight Conor Benn at 160. I thought it was a freak show of a fight. Always thought it was. So listen, because I’ve said it repeatedly, and we’ve discussed it repeatedly, you and I, on two separate occasions.’

Eubank Sr. refused to withdraw.

‘We have not discussed it repeatedly and again you are talking out of two sides of your face.

‘I know what you are. He is a journalist trying to fit into the world of gladiators.’

Jordan briefly laughed off this claim, but remained adamant that Eubank Sr was wrong about him.

‘I climb on the shoulders of giants. Don’t be so stupid. I don’t need you for anything. If you want to make specific observations about people, be right.’

‘If you say you’re not a journalist, then either I don’t know what the word journalist means, or you’re delusional!’ Eubank Sr added.

‘He paid me money to come to a studio and sit down for an interview. He’s a journalist!’

Eubank Jr. is still looking for his next opponent after winning the rematch against Liam Smith in September.

He claimed in December that he had agreed to face WBO and IBF middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly, but that fight has still not been confirmed.

Meanwhile, Harlem is unbeaten in 19 matches and won his last contest against Germany’s Timo Schwarzkopf in November.
