‘Too slow, too old’ – Ringside footage shows exactly what Conor Benn was shouting at Chris Eubank Jr during KO win

Open‘Too slow, too old’ – Ringside footage shows exactly what Conor Benn was shouting at Chris Eubank Jr during KO win

Conor Benn was unimpressed with Chris Eubank Jr’s latest win, as caught on new footage of his live reaction from ringside.

‘The Destroyer’ sat ringside and watched on as his bitter rival Eubank Jr dismantle and beat veteran Kamil Szeremeta in a tune-up fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Benn decided to leap into the ring and face-off with ‘Next Gen’ after his win, with fans seeing him push his rival before they were brought together for a heated face-off.

But new footage has captured exactly what he was saying during Eubank Jr’s win, and after when clambering quickly into the field of battle.

He first remarked to Goldstar Promotions chief Spencer Brown: “He got caught with a tasty right hand here.

“That’s what I was saying to you, all he’s got for him is he’s at 160lbs. Even if I was on my worst day.”

Benn then leant over and spoke to Frank Warren later in the fight: “He is cut yeah, that’s bad. What is he doing?”

But he then decided to shout towards his rival while he engaged with the Polish star: “Switch on Chris.”

His onslaught of Eubank Jr’s performance continued in a more reserved manner, adding: “These are the people you want to look good against. Not s*** against.

“It’s easy money three rounds I beat him, he is too slow, too old.

“Too slow, too old, I’ll make him feel old. On my last two performances he gets banged out.

“Now you know why he doesn’t want to fight Canelo [Alvarez], [Hamzah] Sheeraz, and Janibek [Alimkhanuly].”

Eubank Jr dropped Szeremeta with a body shot, before Benn decided to shout to his rival: “20 seconds.”

It is clear that he wanted him to win to secure a potential fight in 2025, and the middleweight did exactly that closing the show in the seventh round.

Benn remain mic’d up as he used the steps and clambered into the ring shouting ‘That was s**t’ repeatedly.

The pair then clashed with the 28-year-old coming close to his rival and shoving him.

They then came together after the altercation in a more controlled face-off where Benn’s shouting continued.

“You think you can fight me like that?,” he mocked. “Look at the state of your face.

“Easy work, easy work. He’s a journeyman and you let him do that. I smell a p****.

“What are you going to do about it? Yeah you looked s**t in there today. You get done in three rounds.

“Put your money on it, put your money on it.”

It then became a public interview for all fans to hear where they began to discuss their planned meeting in 2025.

Benn and Eubank Jr had been due to meet in 2022, but the fight was cancelled after the former tested positive for a banned substance.

They had already clashed earlier in Eubank Jr’s fight week in Saudi Arabia, having nearly come to blows in what was meant to be a slanging match.

Benn has now insisted he is ready to move up to Eubank Jr’s weight to set the showdown in stone next year.
