On October 8, Chris Eubank Jr. and Benn will meet at the O2 Arena in London, reigniting a family feud three decades after their fathers met in the second instalment of British boxing's greatest rivalry. Both sides have confirmed that the war will go on as planned, as only the boxer will pull their son out of a fight, but on a video call involving both Nigel and Conor Benn, a senior told Sportsmail that he would not allow his son to fight below the 160lb middleweight limit and begged for assistance. If they're not going to listen to me, they'll have to listen to my King's Counsel,' the 56-year-old said. The argument does not take place; Eubank has already argued that Junior had been withdrawn from the war, a charge denied by sources around the conflict.
