Very big fight news this week - Eddie Hearn drops fight news hint as Conor Benn enters training camp for his next matchup

Conor Benn Boxing in Manchester - Image via Getty Images is set to take a huge step up in his fighting career by facing a much more reputable name in the sport of boxing. His promoter has been suggesting over recent months that Benn's next opponent will be a much bigger challenge. All the whispers have pointed towards for a mega domestic fight that will continue the rivalry of the fighters' respective bloodlines. Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr. were two of Britain's greatest boxers and share one of the biggest rivalries in the history of the sport. Eubank Jr., of course, is a middleweight and Benn is a welterweight, but it looks as though they will meet halfway through a catchweight agreement. While doing an interview on The DAZN Boxing Show, Hearn spoke on Benn's next outing: “We talked about this big fight coming. I’m pretty confident we’re gonna give you some very big fight news this week." View Hearn's comments via talkSPORT's Michael Benson here: Eddie Hearn: "We've talked about this big fight coming.
