Speaker 1 (00:00):
The rematch of Chris you Bank Junior versus Connor Ben,
although Chris you Bank Junior clearly won the first fight,
so so I'll call it business is reopening between these two.
This will be Ubank versus Ben number four. The fathers
fought twice, the Suns are now fighting twice. A middleweight
fight or November fifteen, and this is one of the
most watched fights in the UK, especially of the year.
(00:23):
This was a great fight between two guys that were
in a knockdown, dragout, slobber knocker back and forth. Chris
Hubank Junior took the win and Doug super Deep was
an absolute dawg dog in the first fight and needed
to be because Connor Bean looked a lot better than
I think people realized he would at one hundred and
sixty pounds normally he's at one forty seven. Came up
(00:45):
but unfortunately for him, his inexperience, his lack of technique
and just him winging shots was his undoing. U Bank
Junior took him to school in those last five to
six rounds and it was amazing in Tottenham Hot Spurs
Stadium were ready to do it again in just over
a month and a half and some change. But today
they are doing the first press conference for this rematch,
(01:06):
and we have to take a look because things got spicy,
things got downright disrespectful, and accusations that came out of
this are absolutely wild. What do I mean the breakdown?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Let's go Connor Ben.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
He's back at one hundred and sixty pounds now. I
was told, or I guess I saw online Connor warre
this Manchester City jersey in honor of the late great
Ricky Hatton who just recently passed away. Obviously super unfortunate
and just just something that no one anticipated. Is really
really a tragic day for the sport of boxing and
(01:53):
the entire UK. It's just awful. All of it is awful.
I send my condolences to his family, to his close ones.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Make sure you guys all say a prayer. This was
a nice touch from Connor Benn.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And again we're gonna get into some stuff in just
a second that I thought was super tasteless, but let's
just first and foremost, and I think they actually did
a nice tribute as well in this press conference. But
I just wanted to make sure I say, obviously, rest
in peace to the legend.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Ladies and gentlemen. Chris you Bank Junior.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
There he is.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Louis Vatan.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
So let's hear from the fighters. Firstly, a quick word
from Chris u Bank Junior. Chris, when you think back
to I like you.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
To address Connor first. I think I'm just interested to
hear what he's got to say.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Okay, as you wish, Hey, I have a feeling I'm
gonna say this a lot in this video to the
victor goes the spoils. All right, So in the first fight,
you saw Chris Hubang Junior perform absolute masterclass.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
In these press conferences. He was dancing around Eddie Hearn
and Connor Ben.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
He was holding the court. He was going on monologues
which I expect today. But now that he's won, he's
going to up it to the next level. And he
starts right away by going like, yeah, you know, I
appreciate you you coming to me first, but I want
to hear what Connor Ben has to say.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
After all that talking.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Before the first fight, after all the stuff that was
said about how he was gonna knock me out in
three or four rounds, and after the whole egging and
exaggerating and all that. What's he got to say now
after I won? What's he gotta say?
Speaker 5 (03:29):
This? This?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
This is what the victor gets when you do a rematch.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Somebody already won, somebody's already gotten ahead of the game,
and that's Chris, You bang.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Junior Conor, Ben Connor. When you think about what happened
in April, you always said it was the early runs
that got you out with bed because you feared losing
in this game. How has the reality been for you
and what have you perhaps learned about yourself since April?
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Yeah, listen, I mean it's always hard processing a loss.
Nobody prepares to lose, you know, as far as we
want to do our best, ultimately you want to get
the victory.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Oh costs.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
You know, he's told me a lot, told me a
lot about myself. I want to go back to joy
and board and work and learn, gain experience, and experience
was gained so down November fifteenth, you get that version.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
There is no doubt about it that Connor Benn has
a lot more to learn. By the way, I just
realized he's got a face tattoo. He did not have
that the last time I saw. I Like, here's the thing,
I like Connor Ben, and I know that's not gonna
win me any fans and this back and forth because
I also like Chris you Banks Junior. But I got
to interview Connor Ben almost. I think it was the
weekend after or the week of the next fight week
(04:33):
in New York. He came out to the Ryan Garcia
Roly Romero fight, and I gotta tell you, guys, he
looked like he was handling the loss.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I know that, you know, it's tough. You never know
what's going on internally with people. But he didn't have
a scratch on him. He sat through that interview like
it was just another thing. And I think that he
had gotten a decent enough reception, at least in America
from fight fans because of his performance, because he went
toe to toe, because he swung it out, he dogged
it out. And this is what I keep saying about
(05:00):
right now, and why best fighting the best or at
least matchups you want to see entertaining matchups being more
important than belts being more important than you know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
A win and a loss in some cases.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I still believe obviously wins and losses mean something, but
it's not the end of the world.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
It's not the end of the road.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I think that's what connor Ben and other fighters see
is that when they take risks, and when Chris you
Bank took a risk as well, you see the fans
rally around that. You see them almost supports you more
because the loss is only as bad as your performance
sometimes in the fight. At least that's the way I
look at it, and that's why I enjoy this being
a rematch, even though I would have loved to have
(05:36):
seen Chris hu Bank do something else at one sixty
eight potentially and connor Ben fight you know whoever at
one forty seven, maybe a Ryan Garcia, both coming off
losses that would have made sense. But this is why
I'm okay with the rematch because they both leave it
in the ring, win or loss.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
As your opinion on connor Ben changed since the first
fight as a person, as a fighter, do you respect
him more than you did? Then?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
What a crazy, crazy world we live in today.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Just remember the question was do you respect connor Ben
as a person or a fighter more now after the
first fight than you did? Because I have a feeling
Chris you beg Junior is not going to say a
word about that, just gonna say whatever he wants here.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
For my entire life as a professional fighter, I have
been the villain and the bad guy fourteen years and
thirty eight fights of people loving to hate me. But
(06:42):
you know, I don't want to get ahead of myself.
But from what I'm seeing online nowadays and the interactions
I'm I'm having with, you know, people all over the
world in the streets, I don't know if I'm that
guy anymore. It's not just boxing fans that are approaching
me now. It's little girls, elderly folk housewives, people that
(07:10):
really have nothing to do with boxing, and they are
all you know, they're all greeting me, and they're all
wishing me the best of luck.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
First off, Yeah, this is exactly what I thought would happened.
Chris is not gonna say a single word about the
question he was asked.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But look at Eddie. Eddie's like, what is he talking about?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Connor is already like fuck this, dude, what is he saying?
Like no one's paying attention, and he's just.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
In full monologue mode. I love it.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
The funny thing is, if you speak to this side
of the table, Eddie hun will tell you as He
told the world after the fight that Connor Ben is,
in fact the People's champ. I mean, wow, that is uh,
that's incredible, Connor Ben. You did it, o kid, the
(07:57):
people's champ.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So I kind of wondered coming into this, are we
are we gonna be a little more respectful with each other?
Is this gonna be more of like a cope aesthetic? Hey,
we went to war, we shed blood. There's a bit
of respect there. The answer is no. I mean, I'm
sure there is competitive respect. But the answer as far
as like, are they gonna be nicer this time around
is no.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
We already started with the troll in here, the people's champ.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Connor.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, wait to go, kid, you did it.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
One thing I know for sure is that you know
Connor Ben, he put on a great fight. He went
out there and he did what I did not expect
him to do. But you know, I'm gonna tell you
right here and now, you ain't no chat. You most
(08:45):
definitely ain't no People's Champs. So get that out of yet.
You keep letting that hun blow smoke up your ars,
and you're gonna end up being even more of an
embarrassment than he is.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Ooo, my lord.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Okay, so yeah, this is I already know where this
is going to go. This is gonna be Christy Bank
juniorverse Eddie heard again in these press conferences. And to
be honest, it sometimes is better that way because Connor
Ben just gets tired of it and doesn't want to
go do the back and forth anymore. But again, you
Bank Junior is not giving up on this, just persistent
attack of Eddie heard from the first fight to now.
(09:21):
He is just on Eddie's ass. Dude, He's not letting
it breathe over there.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
These men are not men of the people. They are pretending.
They're pretending to be the good guys wolves in sheep's clothing.
If you will, they will do anything they can. They
will screw over anybody they can. They will cut any corners,
they will break any rules they can to try and
(09:47):
get ahead. Ruthless, immoral, and without restraint. These men are.
They did everything they could to try and destroy me
in this last fight. Contract breaches, finds, rehydration clauses, sabotaged
(10:07):
way in bias, commentary and referee. Oh my god, the list.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Goes off, all right, So just quickly, I didn't I
didn't listen to the commentary because Jordy and I were
doing our own show. I don't know about the bias
that was in the commentary or the refereeing. I'm not
exactly sure what happened there. But he also accuses Eddie.
I assume he said the people on the other side.
I guess he means Eddie when he talks about like
(10:35):
the sabotaged weigh ins, which I do remember. I don't
know what happened with the weigh in, but that Chris
missed weight by point zero five or something like that,
or point five half a pound, I don't know what
it was, and they find him five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
But that wasn't an Eddie Hearn thing.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I don't think they think that was the British Boxing
Board of Control, which was crazy to find him that
amount of money for it. But then he made rehydration way,
which again I'm not a fan of rehydration clause I
think they're very detrimental to someone's health. But you Bane
Junior did sign a contract that allowed them to do that,
so you know, you can complain about it, and rightfully so,
(11:10):
but just know that it's something that you agreed to do.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Even on fight night, they've blocked my team from coming
to the stadium for thirty minutes, and then when I arrive,
they have security walking in front of my car trying
to slow me down and stare me as much as
possible to make me late.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I've never heard so much waffle.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
It's okay, I can hear a lot more.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Gun you know You're get more.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
You know, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
This does sound a little crazy, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I again, this could be mind games, and it probably
is just trying for Chris you Bank Hunter just to
try to wind up Eddie, Hearn and Connor and get
them all out of sorts.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And if that's the case, he's probably going to be successful.
But there's there's a certain line you can't really like.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The accusations are getting pretty specific, talking about like having
security guards walk in front of his van and delay
this delay that, sabotage this. I'm trying to look at
this from an unbiased perspective.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I don't know how Eddie would do idiot.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So again, it could just be completely and it probably
is Chris you Bang Junior just winding him up. But
you gotta be careful how far you go with that,
because we know in this game, especially Frank Warren doesn't
play around with that stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Frank Warren will.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Light you up and take you to court over claims
made against Queensberry and himself. And I if you guys remember,
way back last I think it was last year, you
bang Junior said something about Frank Warren being a scumbag
and he immediately put the kabash on that.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
He was like, uh, what you sure? And it was
a tense situation.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
We'll just say, but Chris, he's gonna go right up
to that line and sometimes maybe step over just to
poke Eddie and to get him all out of sorts.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Well, the levels that these guys were stooped to. I
finally get into the stadium, I get into my changing room.
I'm preparing the sending idiots to try and disrupt me
in my changing room. We get through that. I go
out there outside these wolves and I win the fight. Now,
(13:12):
after the fire, due to severe dehydration, I'm putting an
ambulance and I have to go tospital. I was in
actually so dehydrated that one of the toenails on my
big toe fell off and it actually fell off as
crying back about halfway out. But anyway, I'm in Jesus, I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
In the app, not a toenail.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I like the gamesmanship going back and forth here. This
is one who can control the narrative of this press conference.
You're seeing it in real time. You're seeing the mind
games in real time. I don't know if christ you
Bane Junior lost his toenail because of dehydration. I don't
even know if that's the thing that can happen. But
I have lost a toenail before, and that shit does
fucking hurt mine. I lost because I played in a
(14:01):
wet rain game in American football and it kept jamming
into the front of my shoe and it ended up
popping up and having to be removed. But I have
no idea the validity of these claims, but it's a
weird one to throw in there for no other reason
unless it was true. It would be tough to fight
on let alone, you know, train with or whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
A broken or lost hotel.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
We still got it.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
These comebags blocked that ambulance from leaving the stadium for
twenty minutes.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
By the way, this is an intrick or key game.
Because this is all being noted absolute mintes waffucked waffle.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I'm laying there in a guney oxygen mask on and
the car cannot move. They will not open the gates
to let us leave.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
No, sorry, who won't open the gates?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Now? If this was a serious injury that I had
sustained that twenty minutes, Chris.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I want to know who wouldn't open the gates. It's
important that twenty minutes. You can't answer that came.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
It would have been the difference between life and death.
You tool shit you And while this was all.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Happening, that is okay.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
This is what I was talking about when I said
these things can become a little bit you know, you
can go a little too far with this. Chris Huban
Junior is alleging that Eddie Hearn I assume Matchroom somehow
stopped him from leaving the event, somehow had control of
the gates in and out of Tottenham Hot Spurs Stadium
and held him up for twenty minutes. And he's insinuating
(15:32):
that if it was a more severe injury than just dehydration,
that they would have been responsible before the difference between.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Life and death.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
This is what I was talking about when I said
you can only go so far with that kind of stuff.
I don't know how stuff in the UK works versus
in the US, but libel and slander I feel like
is I mean, he's essentially saying that they wouldn't let
him leave and go get treatment, like they were preventing
him on purpose from getting medical aid.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
That is crazy to say. I can't believe that's true
at all. Like that one.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I the whole tonail thing maybe, but that one you
can't even like, okay, buddy, no shot, that's true.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But again, Chris is walking right over that line right now,
and edieot but he said it.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
He said, listen, I'm I'm making sure you get held
accountable for this. It's funny, but at some point you
have to be like, all right, you can't just allege
everything and say outright that they're the ones doing it.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Connor Ben and Eddie Hern are in here talking to
the media lying about how I had a broken jaw
and that was the reason why I was going to
tosspital bullshit artists of the highest Chris.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Could we get one thing clear? Can you just can
you just confirm that you are accusing. Yes, I am
matrim Yes, okay say it from say it? Say it?
Speaker 4 (16:52):
You know Mattrium? Who who else?
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Who go and say it?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Why was it?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Why was to say that Matt stop you from guys
to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
It's like, what so you can try and sue me
if BET's.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I think you're talking about the wrong guys.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
What was that a shot that Jake Paul said, Well,
so you consume me, I think you're talking about the
wrong guy.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I mean, he kind of did say it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
He didn't say it like in a full sentence, but
he not only alluded to match Room, but he said Eddie,
and then he said the guy's over there. And then
when Eddie said, is it Mattroom you're talking about, he
said yes. I mean, completely insane to say for sure.
And then he goes, who else could it have been?
It was probably just the fact that the security and
everybody was leaving the event and the streets were flooded
(17:38):
and they were trying to get everybody. It was probably
just a complete miscommunication and people not being able to
do their jobs well in a crowded area. More likely
than anything else to allege that like Matchroom is not
letting you go and get medical aid is crazy?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
These are the levels.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Can we stopped you falling off people that Eddie.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
The last time you're up here, you were talking about
how famous and popular you are, even more famous than me.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
That's impossible. You're the people's cham you said that. No,
you'll get grannies and children are throwing themselves that you're like,
you're the Pope. It's incredible you them with half a tonail.
But I can't believe it. That's interested. The fact is
you telling.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Us this is this is what I thought it would be.
This has become the Chrissy Bank Junior versus Eddie Herd show.
And you know what, this time around, Eddie is actually
giving it back to him a little bit like Chris is,
you know, doing the thing where he's like, Eddie's a
scumbag and here's why some of that stuff kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
But Eddie is giving it to him a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
He's like, I know, I can't be the most popular
man out because you got women and children fawning over
you like the Pope. This build up to this fight
is gonna be insane. I just hope that Connor gets
a word in edgewise because he's the one fighting.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I know Eddie is.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Probably one of the best talkers and promoters in boxing,
but Connor got us say something to Connor, got it?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
You gotta get in there. He's the one that's gonna
be fighting on fight night. It's it's gonna be him
and Chris you Bank Junior, not Eddie and Chris Eubank.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
But you don't talk shit about things that you want
to fantasize that. It's not I it's not you to hear. Listen,
you've already accused us of stopping your ambulance from going
to the hospital. That's fair enough.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
We'll see what happens.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
We'll see that's what. Okay, we will see my friend.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Listen, that's crazy. He's he's doubling and tripling down on it.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's wild. Again.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I don't know what proof that Chris Eubank Junior would
have that match room was like not wanting him to
go to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
That's insane.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Maybe I'm the one that's been missing something here, but
I that's I.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Feel like that's a pretty serious claim.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Had a hard day's work in your life, all right?
Why you're talking to me.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
And you've only had one, you think, and that was
the last time. You're gonna have a real hard night's work.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
On November fifteen, you're multimillion pounds the state writing up
contracts to flease fighters out as much.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
We'll see, Chris, We'll see. We will see of your accusation,
yets you shall. We will see.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Talking about how you talk shit.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
We see through your games. You don't know, you don't
give a shit about anyone or not.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
To use people.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
We'll see that's the man you are. Okay, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, man, he is still because he you know, he's
still talking about Eddie freezing fighters out of deals and
some things that go on in the background. There is
still real animosity from his time uh with Eddie, from
his time I guess, just a round the boxing scene,
they just fucking hate each other straight up. I think
Chris Eubank Junior and Eddie Hearn hate each other more
(20:30):
than Chris you Bank Junior and Connor Bend. And in
that same token, I would like to see a reality
TV show or some sort of back and forth when
they do the face to face. Honestly, at this point,
I'd rather see Chris you Bank Junior and Eddie sit
down for the face to face because look at Connor,
look at him, He's like, what the fuck am I
doing here?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
What is this ship?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
We will see it?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
We will Connor quick one to you as your opinion
changed on Chris you Bank Jr.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I'm gonna get term of half swim, you know, because
you need a dancing partner.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
And he was that for me.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Did I undrest of my m I did I? Generally?
I knock your man free four runs on Maha. Yeah,
that's Chris shot man.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
That's why.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I need more of that. Just poking and product.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Chris you Bank Junior to me would have a better
option and a better success ORR eight, just poking at
Connor because Eddie can kind of give it back to him.
Connor is not good with with, you know, the back
and forth. He doesn't really want to do that. And
I think he could get the same way he got
him over emotional in the first press conferences for the
first fight. I think he could try to do the
same in the second and see how much Connor Ben
has learned. See see how much he learned from the loss,
(21:32):
you know, because all it did was make Connor Ben
want to go in there and take U Bank's head off.
Like the way he was swinging it felt like every
punch had some emotion in it, from the things that
were said, from the egg on the head, from all
of it, and it just felt like Chris had done
such a masterclass job of doing mental gymnastics and lapping
(21:52):
running circles around Connor in the in the back and
forth of the press conference. He had gotten him so
wound up that that was the result. I think he
would try to do it again instead, He's gone after
Eddie year.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
You know, so underestimated him, but you know, he gave
me one hell of a fight, and it was one
hell of a fight, And.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Yeah, I'm excited for the next time round. To be honest, man,
Well let's see it from you know, this was the
first time in my life that I've ever seen a
fighter lose and then go on some type of victory tour.
This guy there was, guy was.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
There, There was no we were We were in cars.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
That is your car me, that's the five hundred grand
for your unprofessionals, and they gave me that car.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
You flew over to America. You're taking pictures of people.
I'm just so I'm so grateful for the love and
the less you're going on like you won. You understand
John me to finish.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Do you understand?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I mean the.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Toenails though now I didn't look at it as as
Connor been doing, you know, victory tour now, him buying
the car and everything in flexing on Chris after Christmas
weight that was that was kind of crazy. But at
the same time they all knew they were gonna have
a rematch, and Connor, I think felt well about how
he did. You know, he felt like even if he
lost the fight, he damaged up Chris Eubank Junior big
(23:17):
time in that fight, and he didn't have him a
lot of damage on, you know, on himself. Again, I
interviewed him three days later. I guess I was a
part of the victory tour. I interviewed him like three
or four days later and he looked fine. But I
will say again to my point earlier, I felt like
both men got accepted more. Chris Eybank Junior was accepted
as the People's champion that night for sure, and in
the UK he was the hero of that night. But
(23:40):
Connor Benn I thought, earned a lot more respect back
that he may have lost from the ped incident, from
all of the things that came with that and having
to reschedule this fight. I think he earned a lot
of respect back, maybe not all of it, certainly not
all of it. And there's definitely people that don't like
him still and maybe never will. The way he fought
that night, I thought earned a lot of respect both men.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
I was Chris, it really is, while you were sipping
through for a straw. I was back in the gym
after the fight, ready for September twentieth.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Why was you not ready?
Speaker 6 (24:10):
We was locked in September twentieth, So if you want
to talk about little tour, I was training.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Meanwhile, what were you doing?
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I was a living life, my friend.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
What you just said, you said, listen, I don't care
how to be fine? November fifteenth, and.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, that was a nasty line from Connor Ben He said,
while you were sipping fruit through a straw after our fight,
I was back training again.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
He did lose, and Chris, you Bank Junior did win.
But that's a nasty line, and it talks about it again.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I don't know if that sipping thumb straw whatever, but
it does lend to my point that Christian Bank Junior
won the battle. He won the fight, but connor Ben
with a rematch clause in place, might have We'll see
again because bo mac now is in the corner of
Christy Bank Junior. But he might have won the war
the way he damaged up Chris Eubanks Junior. He's not
a young guy. He is going to have to cut
all that weight again. And maybe the skills will pay
(25:00):
the bills the same way and the second fight as
they did in the first, And connor Ben just doesn't
have the skills. Just isn't the skill level of Chris
u Bank plus the way that might have an effect.
I mean, we're turning this fight around in the same year.
It may have an effect. And more of the damaging
shots were landed by Chris you Bank Junior, but the
more damaging shots noticed, there's a difference there. The more
damaging shots were landed by Connor Ben in that fight.
(25:20):
More of them were landed by you Bank Junior, but
the more damage was landed by Connor Ben.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
But again, Chris.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Eubank gets to talk that talk. He's like, yeah, you
were getting ready, I was living life. That's what winners
get to do. They kind of do set the precedent.
They get to establish, determine when they want to come back.
And that's what Chris Eubank gets for winning.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
In all the fights that are promoted with Chris, that
rematch against Liam Smith was the most focused, was the
most dedicated. Was the best Chris hu Bank Junior I
have seen, and I think Chris will be doing it
in even more emphatic fashion.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Relations bar back. I mean, the performance Terrence put on
against Kennulla the other day was exceptional. So congratulations to
you and and the Terrence Croft community. Everyone.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yeah, man, I mean Banks pretty said bow Mack joining
this team changes almost everything for this fight. And again,
Chris Ubang Juniors really never stayed consistent with a trainer,
and somehow he's able to be successful doing that.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I don't even know how that's possible, but it does
add a lot to this camp. It adds a lot
of technique, a lot of skill, a lot.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Of mastery of distance, timing, everything else that Chris already has.
But with a commander in chief in the corner bow
Mac versus Tony Simms and all that wealth and knowledge, Man,
Chris was already I thought technically better clearly than connor Ben.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
This this is gonna add so much.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Despite the setback for connor Ben in April, what do
you believe changed about the way he is seeing within
the boxing world?
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Which is first the Jamie Oversey, just a couple of
hen say the seconds about Ricky Hatton. There's no Chris Chris.
One second you mentioned the drill. Chris, Chris, you know
the drill.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
I'm looking at you. Anything you say, okay, I'm a
bad guy.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
All I was going to do was say a few
words about Ricky Hatton. Okay, Okay, well, okay, I won't
say anything about.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
You.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
You're an asshole. You talk from you, you get what's
coming ship.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Doesn't Man, you can do that, Jamie, let's move on.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Okay, you know what, I want to talk about something else.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
I forget Eddie. I want to talk about the British
boxing border control.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. This is a terrible look
for Chris for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Number one, Eddie Hearn, I guess wanted to say like
a quick thing about Ricky Hatton, which again I think
everybody in the UK at this moment their hearts mourn
for for Ricky Hatton, and if Eddie wanted, I know,
they already did the tribute. If Eddie wanted to say
something just personal, a personal anecdote to commemorate the life
and honor Ricky, that that would have been something. I
(28:03):
think that would have been appropriate because of the recent passing. Chris,
he didn't obviously know that Eddie was going to start
that way, but he also did this the entire first
time around with Eddie, where he wouldn't let him talk,
wouldn't let him talk. Now I've seen some people online saying, oh, well,
this was Eddie's way of trying to make Chris look bad.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I don't think. I again, I don't. I've never known
Eddie to be that kind of guy to.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Try to use Ricky Hatton's recent death to try to
make Chris you Bank Junior look bad by starting his
you know whatever he was going to say with let
me just say this about Ricky Hatton so Chris would
interrupt him. I don't think that's I think we're going
too deep to look at it that way. I just
think Chris didn't realize what Eddie was either saying to
begin with, but then Eddie said it a couple of times,
and he said, I just want to say a quick
(28:47):
thing about Ricky Hatton, and Chris you Bank continuing.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
To interrupt him. That's not a great look.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Again, I don't know if he heard Eddie was saying
that this stuff about when he was like, Hey, I
just want to say this about Ricky and then you
can do whatever you want to do.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Chris. He's got to drop the act just for a second, right.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
You do need to show some damn respect for Ricky
Hatton in that moment, and that's what Eddie was trying
to do. So I don't rate that from Chris you
Banks Junior.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
And then we had a tweet come out after where
Mattroom tweeted Eddie Hearn tries to say a few words
about Ricky Hatton with the shrug face and Chris Eubanks
Junior underneath it says, imagine trying to use Ricky Hatton's
passing as a way to try and get to talk
at a press conference.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
New low from hern here.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I apologize on Eddie's behalf awesome tribute to Ricky at
the start of the presser, though he really was a legend.
Thoughts and prayers with his family. Again, you're still playing
games here. I cannot rate this at all. I think
this is Chris thinking that Eddie is playing games with him,
so he's gonna play games back right where he's like,
oh yeah, they already did the presser tribute, you know,
(29:50):
great awesome tribute at the start of the presser. But
Eddie is trying to use him to get a word
off in a press cond Again, I'm not sure how
close Eddie Hearn was to Ricky Hatton, but either way,
at that was just an that was not a great
look for Chris Human Junior there, even if Eddie wasn't
being sincere, even if it was just to get a
word off edgewise at the press conference, the fact that
(30:11):
you're not letting him do that when it's about Ricky Hatton,
that just doesn't look good for him. And again, I
don't think Eddie was doing it just to get a
word in edgewise. I don't think that's the way that
was going.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
I want to talk about the British Boxing border Control
and more specifically a man by the name of Robert Smith.
This is the big boss behind the scenes, the head hauncho,
(30:40):
the man with all the power that controls everything that
goes on in professional boxing inside of the United Kingdom. Geez,
this guy's a big deal.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
He really is.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Now, this idiot allowed a room full of media and
cameraman into my private way in the day before the fight.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Is this when you were sabotage? Again?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Time that it took to get these people out contributed
to me missing the weight? Chris, you turned out over
an hour late and getting fined five hundred K.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
You turned that over an hour late.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
He left.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
So now Chris is calling, I assume the head of
the British Boxing Board to Control Robert Smith an idiot
and saying that them allowing I guess he's referring to
Mattrooms cameras to come into his locker room while he
was trying the way in. I'm pretty sure he did
show up over an hour late. I'm not sure what
the reasoning was for that, but anyway, all of that stuff,
(31:38):
he's now going after the British Boxing Border Control, which
I know doesn't play lightly because they hand him down
a five hundred thousand dollars fine for him missing weight.
So again, I respect, I guess for speaking your truth,
but you might want to fight your battles here, Chris.
I don't know who what kind of enemies you want
to make, but it's certainly not the people that are
trying to sanction your fight right.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Bed, fight in gloves filled with horse hand knowing that
it was a direct breach of the contract I had
for this fight.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
There was a I wonder what gloves Connor Benn was
not allowed to wear through the contract. Again, we will
never see the light of day with these contracts. But
I assume the horse hair gloves were Clador Rais's or
MX Hugo's or MX Excels or something.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It's been clear Floyd Mayweather at one point did not
want to fight against guys wearing horse hair gloves, and
obviously Chris didn't either.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I don't know again, if that was in the contract
or not, I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
On fight night he personally escorted an arch nemesis of mine,
Billy Joe Saunders, to my changing rooms group or to
disrupt and try and ruin my preparations for the biggest
fight of my life.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Now again, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
If you guys remember this was a story as well,
and some of this stuff that I'm starting to remember
Chris you banged you when you're is telling the truth
on why was why was Billy Joe Sanders even close
to Chris Eubank Junior's locker room that night?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Someone I remember there was like.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Oh, he's going to be there to inspect the gloves,
but you have to be an a credited part of
the corner. I'm pretty sure of your opponent to come
in and inspect gloves or inspect hand raps. I might
have been hand wrapped. Billy Joe Sanders was none of
those things. And I remember him just like trying to
walk up in the locker room, and then I'm pretty
sure Chris you Ebank Junior's manager stopped him. That was
a bit of an odd situation. I don't know why
(33:29):
that was was made available, So I'm kind of on
Chris's side with that one. What was the point of
having Billy Joe Sanders coming into the locker room other
than to cause a distraction? Min Game's sure, but like
that one didn't make any sense for Billy Joe to
be in there in the first place.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
And afterwards he gets into the ring and is trying
to shake my hand and congratulate me. I mean, the
bulls on this guy. It's viciously clear for me to
see that this toad is nothing more than a puppet
and a poet. I think he is in the back pockets.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Of Wow, another one that's got in for you. You
are so unlucky.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Fortunately, just another scumbag in.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
This whole and the chairman of the British Boxing Border
Control scums we find ourselves.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
The maskis slipping, Christopher.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I mean again, you're making some powerful enemies when you
go out and call the sanctioning body for all British
professional boxing bouts a scumbag, toad, puppet that's in the
back pocket of Edy Herd. I again, I don't know
the intricate details of the people and the fighters and
the relationship with the British Boxing Board of Control. I
(34:41):
definitely don't know if there's like I definitely am not
clued into like corruption and all of these types of things.
I know in the United States there was massive corruption
in boxing in the early days, which is why it's
federally regulated in the United States and the only sport
I think it's federally regulated in the US. But I
don't know what the dealings are over in the UK,
So people in the comments, you're going to have to
let me know. Is Chris you Bay Junior speaking VAX
(35:03):
when he talks about the BBB of C or is
he as Eddie Hearn said as he waffle.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
The board have graciously awarded me with a multitude of
fines over the last six months. And my question is
where is this money going? You know, the Boxing Board
of Control, they're supposed to be supporting the foundations and
(35:32):
governing the community of boxing Great Britain. So in my eyes,
the money that I've been fined should be going to
the community, should be going to kids that can't afford equipment,
It should be going to local gyms. The money should
be going to fighters who have suffered injuries medical bills.
(35:58):
But as far as I can see it, that's not happening.
The money simply seems to be lining the pockets of
fat cats on the board, like Robert Smith, don't worry,
don't worry, Ben, It's okay.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I've been Shaloma is like, yo, you gotta chill, We
gotta we gotta answer this stuff, bro.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
They still have to approve your fight.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
And again there are some accusations flying right here, and
I don't know. That seems pretty severe to ask that
kind of stuff. And again, maybe he's right, maybe there
is some massive conspiracy about where this money goes. I
would assume, I don't know this, that any money collected
in fines and regulations from any sanctioning body goes into
(36:40):
further work that the sanctioning body can do, whether it's
providing new jobs, whether it's providing the services of sanctioning
events and you know, retaining drug testing equipment, or retaining
all the necessary transport funding for you know, making sure
the weigh ends are correct, making sure tillies are being correct,
(37:02):
paying you know, officials and all that's I assume that's.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
What happened, But like, I don't know for sure. I
don't really know what that goes to.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I just assume that's the same thing that's reinvested into
the work that the Bridge Boxing Board of Control has
to continue to do.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I don't know, though. It's like asking where my taxes go.
I have no fucking idea.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
I just hope that it goes to the right places
and that it helps me out in the future by
funding things that make my life easier.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I don't know though, asking some questions here.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Chris just been informed in a special message from his
excellency Turkey L. Shake, who says that Eddie Hearn is
more popular than Chris you Bank Junior, because he has
his own Netflix documentary.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
That's good news. Chris can watch that tonight six episodes.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know about that. How
you postered me all over your.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
H called in to tell the presentter that Eddie was
more popular. H listen, h G is always looking to
find ways to stir a little bit more that beef,
to turn the screw just a little bit it more
and get these guys riled up.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I don't mind it.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Actually they get adds a little bit to these press conferences.
That's a nice that's a nice little one liner. He
knew Eddie was going to jump all over that immediately
promoe when it was out. I gotta watch it, by
the way, But okay, ag getting in the mix.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Guy that doesn't deserve to be here, and you're using
me and all your trailers.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
You made me a lot of money in that document
You're going to do is promote One thing was amazing
that we got the people's chance so got six episodes?
Five hours are worth?
Speaker 4 (38:26):
How many episodes you can pull your plunker off it
bright and all night to that, he would be loving
scumbag promoting who's his other.
Speaker 5 (38:33):
Fight blocks ambulance to your soul blocks ambulance, lose his tone,
you talk more than your fighters.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
To look at you, Connor hasn't said a word.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Don't want to say. Listening to you about Robert Smith's
is like a baby. Is the mask slip? I'm talking, Jamie,
I'm talking. Be quiet. You shut your mouth down there,
everybody wants to talk. Netflix. It's out now. Enjoy the episodes.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Thank you, no one's going to watch it. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Ediet, Eddie got a little bit heated with him, just
a little bit, Jamie, back over to you. Okay, my
man presenter's name is Jamie. Sorry for not knowing he said.
You shut your mouth. You go just a little fisted again.
You make Junior wanting to get under his skin. That's
been the entire plan this entire time, and it's starting
to work a little bit. Eddie keeps saying the masket
slip and the maskt slip, and both guys are saying
that each other is the fake nice guy. Both guys
(39:24):
are saying that the other one is hiding what they
really are and trying to play up a character.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
It's almost a Spider Man meme with these two at
this point.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
What was the difference between the pair of you, Chris
in your own words, what was Connor's undoing in April?
Speaker 4 (39:37):
I'm a better fighter than him to keep talking about weights. Uh,
he hasn't fought well, wait for nearly four years. How
many times did you hear Terrence Crawford talking about the
weight divisions. He's coming up fighting Canello, who's fought that
light heavyweight fact, and there was no rehydration causes in
(39:57):
that fight. Fact. So it's pretty embarrass seeing the amount
of times that these guys consistently talk about weight.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
I will say, the more that I think about that fight,
the fact that Terrence came up to one sixty eight
didn't ask for a rehydration. Again, Canelo is not a
big one hundred and sixty eight pounder, so I get it.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
He's a dog for that though.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Man, I know that I've said it before, and I
said it during the fight, and I said it after
the fight, But just it's insane to watch him just
go yeah, I'll do that and and have that kind
of performance at Canelo's weight where he's the undisputed champ.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Stupid, they had nothing to do with the weight. I
am the better, more experienced, more dedicated fighter. That's why
he didn't beat me, and that's why he shall not
beat me in November. How do you do it?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Connor? How do you beat christ you Bank Jr.
Speaker 6 (40:47):
Let's let's greed. You know when I had him hurt
in there, I mean he's gonna say I thing to
have him hurt when I thought I had him hurt.
You know, I was just too greedy in there looking
for the headshot.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Did you guys see that?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
I'm sorry, I know I keep bob, but do you
see the Connor is like doing this thing where and
I don't know if that it's even conscious, but he's
doing this thing where he worries almost about what Chris
you Bank Junior is going to say about what he said,
and then reframes it before you Bank Junior even brings
it up.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I think that's how.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Chris Hubank Junior is winning these mental games. He has
gotten Connor been in his head so much that anytime
he says something. Chris is gonna say that I didn't
do that, so let me correct it, correct it. Why
just say what you feel if you think you heard him, Yeah,
I had him hurt. He could say whatever he wants.
I know when I looked in his eyes, he was
glossed over and it wasn't there. The noodle legs were
going crazy instead of like, ah, well, he's gonna say it,
(41:38):
so I might as well correct it ahead of time.
That's the mental game that's going on, and that's why
Chris you Bank is winning those middle games.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
Game plan went out of the wind as soon as
I hit him in the third round. It was a
matter of it felt like I was always one punch
away from closing the show, and I was looking for
that one punch, you know, And he look look look
vulnerable At some stages he looked old, and you know,
I was too busy gain in there trying to hurt
(42:06):
him over by getting the wins.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
What makes you laugh, Chris, when you hear that old
and vulnerable and this old man's talking about he wobbled
me four or five times.
Speaker 5 (42:17):
Just watch it. You just gotta watched the fight. You
just got watched the fight. No stages. You hurt me
in there.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
The delusion of these guys.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Just watch it.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
It's not delusion. If you can physically sick.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
It's breathtaking, it really is. You know, Yes, you caught
me with a few shots.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Let's be clear.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Connor did hurt him and wobble him with at least
two or three shots in the fight. On two or
three separate occasions.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
I think it was two.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Connor man hit him with punches that did make him
wobble his feet, his legs were loose, he was on
his feet, and he was still conscious and he was
still in the fight, but he was hurt. But what
Chris is doing here, and it's genius.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
He's making Connor.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Question his own eyes, question his own belief in what
happened in the first fight, even know the physical evidence
is out there. He's still playing the mind game to
be like, okay, whatever you think, Connor, Yeah, no, sure, sure,
you wobbled me, Connor, whatever you think any kind of
like snickers and laughs and drops that like confidence like yeah, okay,
(43:15):
that's what you think.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Cool, And it just is a little seeded doubt, just
a little bit. I don't know if he's doing it
on purpose. But I think that's genius.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
That's it, the equal bone making because I know you
know you need it, and he's a great coach. You're
a great coach, bon Mac, and I've got love for you, mate.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
But you can't polish a third.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
One sentence prediction, Connor just fun.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Can't polish a turn. Okay, Connor, talk your sake, that's
all we want.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
To hear Man, although again I don't know what that
makes Connor because he lost to you think do you
like diarrhea?
Speaker 2 (43:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
And for you Chris's final sentence, what happens in the rematch?
Speaker 4 (43:47):
How do you do it again? The parliamentary will be
proof the proceeds.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Oh no, he was. He was doing so well.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
He was doing so well, and he's always been perfect
with that. That's the signature family line. You can't mess
that one up, he said. The parliamentary will be procedure, No.
Speaker 4 (44:10):
Will be proof the proceeds. The mark will be the
matador from this massa, Chris, this has been a pleasure
to employ all the new techniques. Oh, I don't want
to go out there and and wear my heart on
(44:32):
my sleeve and win my punches. So I'm gonna box,
and we're gonna have the strategy. All that stuff is
gonna go out of the window as soon as that
first little right handk next on his chin, and after that,
we're gonna have fun in that baby, like I always do.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
What Chris you Bank Junior just said is I think
a super important point. He's like, Yeah, they're gonna go
and try to box. They're gonna go and act like that,
They're gonna be technical from the outside behind the jab,
But as soon as I land, he's gonna throw that
all out the window. And I actually think that's a
good point. I think if connor Ben truly has learned
from the first fight, he'll be able to quell that fire.
(45:07):
And you know it's in there of losing to Chris
you Bank Junior, of being close to in his mind,
close to knocking him out, and him his mind being
the guy that damaged Chris you Bank Junior. More so
the moment that you Bank lands on him, maybe points
a glove at him, taunts him a little bit. Does
connor Ben stay within his composure, does he stay locked
into his game plan, or does that inexperienced show again
(45:28):
and he throws it out the window and we're gonna
have a scrap as something to watch. But that's the
end of the press conference. Take a look at the
face off here. I think crazy in the face off
this time. Both guys kept their distance, no eggs, none
of that. Maybe we'll get some crazy stuff on the
next one, but I think I'm mutual understanding that we
can't let him get too close. Chill son and voice.
(45:49):
But there you go, nice little face off again. It
is crazy the size difference, that's just height, but also
the way like Connor doesn't even look close to this
weight class.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
There it is.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
Man, what a press conference? What a kickoff press conference?
And things did indeed kickoff here? I want you guys
to tell me in the comments below, what was your
big takeaway from this thing? Was it the fact that
Chris Eubank Junior went off on not just Eddie Hearn,
not just Connor Benn, but the British Boxing Board of
Control alluded to some things being purposely done to keep
(46:21):
him in the worst shape possible before the fight and
after the fight, Connor Ben saying he's gonna fight with
less emotion and with more control, with more technique.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
Do you believe that?
Speaker 1 (46:30):
And even if so, can he overcome his last performance
and the fact that Chris Eubank Junior is gonna have
Bo Mack in the corner. I don't have any of
these ants, but I know November fifteenth is going to
be a classic, an instant classic, just like the first
one is who wins? I don't have those answers, but
I guess we'll find out
