Panel: How much interest would you now have in Chris Eubank Jnr vs Conor Benn should it be rescheduled?

Denzel Bentley (British middleweight champion)

If itโ€™s going to be rescheduled, I donโ€™t think itโ€™s fair to put the (weight) restrictions on. But whatever they do, they do. The controversy that has happened will bring more eyes to it, Iโ€™m sure. Plus, what makes it even bigger next year is the fact that next year marks 30 years since the second Benn-Eubank fight. Everything just needs to be looked over before anything, though.

Michael Conlan (Featherweight contender)

Although I disagree with it, I think the interest and the what-if factor has definitely gone up. But, for me, it should not happen. If you fail a drug test, you should be banned.

Dave Allen (Heavyweight contender)

I have zero interest in seeing them fight each other after what happened last week. Conor Benn has just failed a drug test and for that I want to see him face a four-year ban.

Ryan Walsh (Former British featherweight champion)

Zero. It was a make-do fight in the first place for Eubank Jnr. The interesting parts to me were the family history and rehydration clauses. Iโ€™d have liked to see the psychological and physical impact on both. Ultimately, though, for me it was a simple case of โ€œa good big one will beat a good little oneโ€. PEDs, of course, now clearly alter this line of thought.
