Harlem Eubank would prefer his cousin, Chris Eubank Jr, to chase a legacy-defining fight against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez rather than revisit his rivalry with Conor Benn.<\/b><\/p>\n
The unbeaten welterweight says if Eubank Jr does fight Benn again, however, the weight discrepancy between the two Britons must be addressed. <\/p>\n
Eubank Jr outpointed Benn in a grudge match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April<\/a>, more than two years after their original 2022 bout was cancelled due to Benn’s failed drug tests.<\/p>\n A two-fight deal was in place, but Harlem is unsure whether a rematch will materialise.<\/p>\n “There’s obviously a lot of money there for it, so potentially,” he told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n “But Chris is 35 now and I’d like to see him take the Canelo fight and sail into the sunset.<\/p>\n “It’s hard, because all the big opportunities come near the end of a career and there’s always a fishhook dangling to keep you there, but I’d rather see him take the biggest fight in the sport and bow out.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
