When you decide to open fire, make sure it not only hits the target but also rattles the onlookers. Perhaps Nigel Benn knows this wartime wisdom all too well. At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday, his son, Conor Benn, will step into the ring against Chris Eubank Jr., the son of his former rival. And ahead of this explosive clash, ‘Daddy-Cool’ decided to share some behind-the-scenes intel.
While the intended target was clearly Eubank Jr., it’s evident that the shockwaves from his revelation could travel far and wide, both in distance and time. Speaking about a sparring session between Conor Benn and William Scull, Nigel Benn revealed that his son had literally shaken up the IBF super middleweight champion. Now, as most boxing fans know, the Cuban-born Scull is slated to face none other than Canelo Alvarez on Cinco de Mayo weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. And with that massive fight on the horizon, such unsettling reports could potentially damage his momentum heading into what may be the biggest bout of his career.
