The boxing world was set ablaze today after legendary promoter Frank Warren delivered a scathing prediction that has left Chris Eubank Jr humiliated just two weeks before his blockbuster showdown with Conor Benn. In an explosive interview on TalkSPORT at 9:00 AM BST on April 11, 2025, Warren, a veteran boxing promoter and the man behind Queensberry Promotions, boldly declared that Benn would “crush” Eubank Jr in their upcoming Fatal Fury fight on April 26, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Warren’s wild prediction has sparked a firestorm of reactions, adding fuel to an already intense rivalry and putting Eubank Jr on the defensive.

The Eubank Jr vs. Conor Benn fight is one of the most anticipated events in British boxing history, reigniting a family feud that dates back to the 1990s when Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn—Conor’s father—clashed in two iconic bouts. The sons were set to fight in October 2022, but the bout was canceled after Benn tested positive for the banned substance clomifene, leading to a two-year suspension that was lifted in November 2024. The rescheduled fight, set for 160 pounds with a rehydration clause, has sold out its 60,000 seats and is projected to draw over 1.2 million pay-per-view buys on Sky Sports Box Office and DAZN PPV.

During the TalkSPORT interview, Warren, who has a history of promoting some of boxing’s biggest stars, didn’t hold back in his assessment of the matchup. “Conor Benn is going to crush Chris Eubank Jr,” Warren said, his tone brimming with confidence. “Eubank Jr thinks he’s untouchable, but he’s in for a rude awakening. Conor’s got the fire, the speed, and the power to take him out. I’m telling you now—Benn will stop him inside six rounds. Eubank Jr’s been living off his dad’s name for too long, and Conor’s going to expose him.” Warren’s prediction was met with stunned silence from host Jim White, who later called it “one of the boldest calls I’ve ever heard.”

Eubank Jr (35-3, 24 KOs) was quick to respond, taking to Instagram at 11:30 AM BST on April 11, 2025, to fire back at Warren. “Frank Warren’s a clown,” Eubank Jr wrote in a post that included a video of him shadowboxing. “He’s just trying to hype up his boy Benn because he knows I’m going to destroy him. I’ll make Frank eat his words on April 26.” Eubank Jr’s father, Chris Eubank Sr, also weighed in, telling The Sun, “Frank Warren is a promoter, not a prophet. My son will prove him wrong. Conor Benn doesn’t have the pedigree to beat a Eubank.”

Conor Benn (23-0, 15 KOs), who has been training in Mallorca, embraced Warren’s prediction in a statement to Boxing News. “I respect Frank for calling it like he sees it,” Benn said. “He’s right—I’m going to crush Eubank Jr. He’s been running his mouth for too long, and I’m going to shut him up.” Benn’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, added, “Frank’s prediction is spot on. Conor’s in the best shape of his life, and Eubank Jr won’t know what hit him.”

The boxing community erupted on social media, with #WarrenVsEubank trending on X, amassing over 150,000 mentions. Fans were divided—some praised Warren’s bold call, while others called it disrespectful. As the fight nears, Warren’s prediction has raised the stakes, ensuring Fatal Fury will be a battle for the ages.
