Six days before his fight with Conor Benn and with weight to cut, Chris Eubank Jr filmed himself eating steak with Nusret Gokce, aka ‘Salt Bae’.<\/span><\/p>\n The heavier fighter seems determined to troll his opponent and show off just how relaxed he is before the clash.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meanwhile, Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua is off (for now), and Ryan Garcia shared a story about a run-in he had with Gervonta Davis at a nightclub recently.<\/span><\/p>\n All of that and more is in this week’s Fight Talk.<\/span><\/p>\n Eubank Jr hasn’t given up his cheat days before a <\/span>family grudge match<\/span><\/a> with Benn on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n The two men are <\/span>due to fight at London’s O2 Arena on 8 October<\/span><\/a> at a catchweight of 157lbs.<\/span><\/p>\n Benn typically boxes at welterweight (147lbs). In contrast, this is a big cut for Eubank Jr, who usually operates at either middleweight (160lbs) and super-middleweight (168lbs). <\/span><\/p>\n Despite that, you could be forgiven for thinking that it was Eubank Jr that needed to bulk – at least based on his recent social media activity.<\/span><\/p>\n As well as hanging out with celebrity butcher, Salt Bae, he filmed himself tucking into a burger last week.<\/span><\/p>\n And allowed himself a spot of birthday cake a few days prior too.<\/span><\/p>\n At least his dad isn’t looking after nutrition.<\/span><\/p>\n Benn, 25, has won all 21 bouts since turning professional in 2016, with 14 knockouts.<\/span><\/p>\n Nevertheless, Eubank Jr has repeatedly claimed in the build-up to this fight that he only needs to be operating at 60% capacity in order to win.<\/span><\/p>\n Could that prove costly? His former trainer, Roy Jones Jr has <\/span>advised<\/span><\/a> Eubank Jr not to sleep on Benn.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, this is a fight steeped in British boxing history, continuing a bitter feud that was started by the two fighters’ fathers in the 1990s.<\/span><\/p>\n Whichever way it goes, we’re invested.<\/span><\/p>\n Is Tyson Fury still retired?<\/span><\/p>\n Will he be fighting Anthony Joshua?<\/span><\/p>\nEu-banking on 60%<\/h3>\n
