What’s been said?
Conor Benn‘s promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed his thoughts ahead of the rematch, the Matchroom chief said: “I just think the second fight will be even better.
“They’re not going to change. They’re going to come out from the first bell and just carry on like the 13th round. And when you see a fight like that, for me, the automatic thing to do is to do the rematch.
“The fight was always going to be two fights, but sometimes a fight’s one-sided or it ends early and there isn’t really the appetite for the rematch.
“I think here, now with Conor having that activity, which is something that was lacking from the first fight as well, we really fancy our chances.
“We know the weight’s a disadvantage and that showed a little bit in the first fight, but fans can just expect a continuation of the 12th round and it’ll be another toe-to-toe war.”
