Chris Eubank Jr was unsurprisingly having fun with some news about two of his biggest adversaries.
In November, Conor Benn avenged his prior loss to Eubank Jr and celebrated contained in the ring together with his father and long-time promoter.
It felt like an enormous moment for the 29-year-old following among the controversies which have damaged his profession and the credit he earned in defeat of their previous bout.
This win has now earned him an enormous guaranteed payday after Benn surprisingly signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing in a one-fight deal.
The news wasn’t just a giant deal due to fighter involved, however the promoter as well, who Eubank Jr already has loads of history with.

Chris Eubank Jr can’t resolve whether to focus on Eddie Hearn or Conor Benn in his response
The rivalry between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn prolonged beyond their very own relationship and the feud between their fathers.
Eubank Jr clashed together with his opponent’s long-time promoter, Eddie Hearn, throughout the build-up before each of their fights.
Hearn was clearly upset to see Benn leave Matchroom Boxing when sharing his response to the news after all the things they’ve done together.
The identical couldn’t be said for the person that went up against the pair of them twice last yr.
After tagging Hearn in a post asking how he’s feeling, Eubank Jr produced the next message to share what he thinks about them.
“So Eddie Hearn’s #1 fighter has now left him,” he wrote on X. “Eddie stuck by Conor Benn through thick & thin, getting him off of drug charges & giving him money to live when he had nothing. I assume this really shows just how much of a scumbag Hearn actually is…
“He saves his fighter’s life & profession & Conor still doesn’t need to be involved with him. Or is Benn the scumbag for dumping the person that built him? This really is a conundrum. Scumbag on scumbag violence at its finest… don’t say I didn’t inform you guys.”
In a second post, Eubank Jr sent the next message to Benn via X when sharing a video of Hearn speaking concerning the news.
“For whatever reason you stabbed this idiot within the back (he’s an idiot for considering he could trust you) just know what goes around all the time comes back around… you’ll get yours too.”

Matchroom Boxing’s CEO wasn’t surprised to see Conor Benn sign with Zuffa Boxing
In his response to Conor Benn’s Zuffa Boxing switch, Eddie Hearn said that he blamed himself.
He said that he put an excessive amount of faith in loyalty and because of this, he didn’t attempt to re-sign some of the useful names on his roster earlier before receiving an email to say he was leaving.
Matchroom Boxing CEO Frank Smith then again, said that this move from Benn after the ten years they’ve spent working together didn’t come as a surprise.
“I’m not personally shocked because I all the time type of knew what he was when it comes to like his character,” he told The Stomping Ground. “I all the time knew, for my part, he had this type of, I don’t know whether you’d call it behavior or what you must call it.”
