Chris Eubank Sr has once again expressed his condemnation of the forthcoming boxing match between his son, Chris Eubank Jr, and the son of his former rival Nigel Benn, Conor Benn.

Eubank Sr has been a frequent critic of the long-delayed clash between the two Britons which is now scheduled to take place on April 26 inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, even going so far as to call for the cancellation of the fight amid his concerns that his son is ignoring potential risks in favour of a big money payday.

Chief amongst Eubank Sr’s concerns is that one or both could place themselves in serious jeopardy given the weight disparity between both men, and that injuries such as those sustained by Michael Watson in a bout with Eubank in 1991 may reoccur.

This month’s fight is due to take place at 160-pounds, with Benn moving up from his traditional weight at 147-pounds and Eubank Jr moving down, having previously competed as high as 168-pounds.

“You have a person at 147, going on to Piers Morgan talking about the fact that he is going to go up to 160 and then come back down afterwards,” Eubank Sr told the Daily Mail.

“Those [weight] rules are in place to keep you safe and keep my son safe from ending up from what Michael Watson is having to endure and has been enduring for the last 32, 33, 34 years,” he added.

“They’re putting a fight on that is against the law of boxing. Has your promoter not shown you that there are rules to say you can’t do that? There has to be rules and I’m going to be the lawman to put these rules in the minds of the people.”

“Barry (Hearn), your son (Eddie Hearn) said there’s real hate now. What hate? It’s just money. There’s no hate. I told my son three years ago, that fight does not happen. I was correct last time and I will be correct this time.”

Speaking separately to iFL TV, Eubank Sr said: “We can’t run amok. We are not a country of baboons. He’s looking at only the money. My son will not listen.”
