Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn: Eubank warned he would lose to Canelo, Charlo & Golovkin

Chris Eubank Jr doesn’t have a hope in hell of beating Canelo Alvarez, Jermall Charlo or Gennady Golovkin, Conor Benn‘s promoter Eddie Hearn has claimed.

Benn and Eubank will battle it out on October 8 at London’s iconic O2 Arena, almost 30 years after their dads’ famous rematch.

Due to the difference in size between the two fighters, a catchweight is believed to have been agreed at 157lb, meaning Benn will have to put on a few pounds from his usual 147lb weight class.

Eubank meanwhile has spent most of his career competing at middleweight at 160lb, though he has previously campaigned as high as super-middleweight at 168lb.

If he wins, he could target a world title shot against the likes of Canelo, Charlo and Golovkin.

But that doesn’t mean to say that he thinks that he isn’t a good boxer – far from it in fact.

Speaking on The DAZN Boxing Show, when asked to assess Eubank’s resume, Hearn said: “If you’re looking at wins, Chris Eubank Jr beat a faded James DeGale.

“But he still beat a James DeGale. He had a good fight with George Groves. I know that George was injured at the end of the fight and going into that fight, but you know, I rate Eubank.

“I think he’s tough as granite. He’s got a great chin like his dad.

“But I don’t see him necessarily as an elite middleweight. I think he’s a world class middleweight, but I don’t believe he beats any of the good [fighters], the world champions at middleweight. I don’t think he beats Charlo, Golovkin, of course, Canelo, of course, but listen, it’s a massive fight for
