Carl Froch has shared a ring with Chris Eubank Jr. and has now looked ahead to his fight with Conor Benn.
In April, Eubank edged out Benn by unanimous decision in an all-action 12-round war at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. He used his natural size advantages to get a hold of the fight and win by unanimous decision in a contest that matched the intensity of more than two after years of buildup.
The rematch is scheduled for November 15 at the same venue and at the same weight limit with the same rehydration clause in place means that neither fighter can put on more than 10lbs after the weigh-in by the morning of the fight.
One man who sparred countless rounds with Eubank in the past was former super-middleweight world champion Froch, and speaking on Froch on Fighting, ‘The Cobra’ outlined how he thinks the rematch next month might go.
“I’ve sparred Eubank Jr, quite a lot of rounds and he’s quite big and strong and tough. For Conor to go twelve rounds with him and have a close fight with him it’s just brilliant.
“I think Benn if he takes his time a bit more he’s got more of a chance. I think he did really well, Conor Benn performed out of his skin. He will improve on the next fight and he’s a lot younger than Eubank Jr. I hope Benn chins him. I’m still making Eubank Jr a favourite.”
Both men have mentioned what they would like to do after the rematch, with Benn targeting a welterweight world title and Eubank Jr hinting at his interest in fighting three-weight undisputed champion Terrence Crawford at super middleweight.
