Eubank Accepts Hearn’s £1 Million Bet on Benn Fight

The stakes just got higher for the upcoming April 26 showdown in London, UK, between Conor Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) and Chris Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 KOs).

Benn’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, publicly challenged Eubank’s promoter, Ben Shalom, with a £1 million bet on Benn’s victory.

"I’m ready to put up a million pounds. On what? On this fight. Tomorrow morning."

Eubank quickly responded, calling on Hearn to make it official:

"Eddie. Let’s go, Eddie. A million pounds? Let’s see if you’re really serious.

I accept your £1 million bet. It has to be our personal money—not company money. Winner takes all," Benn stated.
