Chris Eank JR and Conor Benn will not get into a cage quickly, despite promoters who have their face-off filled to have extra protection.
The bitter rivals squares in an intense press conference on Tuesday evening for a raw Manchester -Mixte. The boxing stars drifted hooks that even include promoter Eddie Hearn that became the victim of a number of intense burns, but it became physically in the last face-off.
Eank Jr hit Benn over the face with an egg in his hand, so that the couple were dragged apart by security. And while Boxxer boss Ben Shalom wanted the couple to be placed in a cage for their London face-off, Hearn closed the idea.
Eddie Hearn refuses Chris Eank JR and Conor Benn to place in a cage for the second face-off
In the aftermath of the EI -incident in Manchester, many security problems have been led by the British Boxing Board of Control and organizers of events. Chris Eank JR is called for the board and they have already had contact with promoters about their next steps.
A second press conference is planned for tomorrow in London, and it has already been confirmed that the couple will come to the field in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and not on stage. Boxxer even tweeted that the couple could be placed in a cage, a la Ksi and Tommy Fury in Misfits boxing.
In an exclusive chat with bloody elbow, however, Hearn confirmed that the idea did not happen and said: “Ben Shalom said to me last night:” Let's do a cage or a glass “and I was” size, no, we don't do that. “
“We don't go that way. This is a real fight and this is a big fight for boxing, but we just keep the security between them and ensure that they cannot get close. That is more than enough. “
Chris Eank JR and Conor Benn have canceled face-to-face after egg incident
Hearn spoke during the last press conference in Belfast prior to the showdown of Paddy Donovan and Lewis Crocker in the SSE Arena. He arrived on a private jet after a last-minute cancellation from Eank and Benn's face-to-face sitdown that was planned for the morning.
He insists that they will eventually make the video, but not during this current series of promotion. “There will be one on time,” he explained. “But I think it would be a big mistake to put those guys so far away at the moment.
“The reality is that some people think it's not a problem, some people are disgusting, whatever. He has attacked Conor, he has hit him with something and you cannot expect that conor is as 'oh well, it is what it is'.
“At the moment he wants to get hold of him and now do a job with him and we can't afford to make that happen. Especially before we go on sale! So to sit at a table and to prevent them, would not be the right thing to do,
“We spoke with the board and I know that the plate is calling Eank, but away from that they also told us” Look, what do you do with Thursday? ” What we have said is that we do not do a face-to-face at the press, we do it on the field.
“We will have the security between them and we will ensure that there is no chance that they will come somewhere near each other.”
