NIGEL BENN believes his son Conor is on form to beat Chris Eubank Jnr this Saturday for their second match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Benn suffered the first defeat of his 24-fight career in April when Eubank Jnr clinched victory by unanimous decision after all three judges delivered 116-112 scores.

It was a bitter pill to swallow for the 29-year-old after a fiery fight week and following repeated jabs about his failed drugs test which scuppered the original date back in 2022.

Ahead of the fourth instalment of the family rivalry, Nigel Benn said: “The first fight, you know what he went through; getting called a drugs cheat.

“He went through a lot of stress and now he has completely been exonerated, been cleared and he is completely in the right frame of mind. That is what I like about him; his mindset. That is the key.

“Before he was throwing punches from South Africa, from Germany, all over the place. This time you will see Conor at his best if he sticks with his game plan.”

Nigel Benn was involved in two classics with Chris Eubank Snr in the early 1990s, but tasted defeat in the first encounter after a ninth-round stoppage before a rematch at Old Trafford three years later was declared a draw.

Eubank Jnr has brought in widely regarded trainer Brian McIntyre for his rematch with Benn after they worked together in 2023 for his second fight with Liam Smith.

McIntyre, known as “BoMac,” said: “We’ve both got the same thing in common; win!

“We’re going out there just to get the win. If the knockout is there, he in shape to get it but right now we just worry about the win.”
