Conor Benn reignites family feud with Chris Eubank senior and junior by labelling dad “an absolute t***” and the pair deluded
Young Benn claimed Eubank junior's recent IBO middleweight title win sent him to sleep
CONOR BENN has reignited the vicious rivalry between his family and the Eubanks with knock-out blows for rivals Chris senior and junior.
The son of former middleweight warlord Nigel has accused the posturing pair of being deluded, claimed Jnr’s last fight sent him to sleep and called senior “an absolute t***”.
Nigel Benn and Eubank Snr slugged out a brilliant boxing rivalry in the 1990s and the new generation have opened fire with Conor taking aim and certain to receive a snarling response.
Benn said: “Are they both deluded? Is it mind games or are they trying to get people talking?
“His dad is basically ruining his career. He [Junior] could have made six million by now.
“If my dad messed that up for me I’d be like, ‘Listen Dad, me and you are falling out mate'.
“But my dad is cool. My dad’s sick, whereas Eubank’s dad is an absolute t***. It’s as if his son doesn't realise it.”

Eubank senior tells anyone who will listen that his son is the best fighter on the planet - better than retired great Floyd Mayweather and capable of flattening current heroes Gennady Golovkin and Saul Alvarez.
The big talk has clearly got under Conor’s skin as he does not reckon the young fighter can back up his father-turned-promoter’s words.
“I watched about four rounds of his last fight then fell asleep,” Benn said of Eubank Jnr’s recent win over Renold Quinlan that won him the IBO Super Middleweight title.
