‘Leave something for your cousin’ – Harlem Eubank backs Chris to dominate Conor Benn but wants to finish job off himself

Published on April 25, 2025 at 10:53 AM

HARLEM EUBANK expects cousin Chris to dish out a beating on Conor Benn – but hopes there is enough left for him to finish the job off.

Eubank Jr and Benn open up their family feud – three decades of from their fathers' two-fight series.

Harlem will be in his older cousin's corner tomorrow night – and warned a brutal beating is waiting for .

He told SunSport: “I do think it's gonna be a beatdown.

“I think it's gonna be one sided and I think the reality is gonna come to fruition and Chris is a world-class middleweight fighter.”

The second generation grudge match is set at the 160lb middleweight limit – Eubank's weight for the last six years.

Welterweight contender Benn meanwhile is having to step up in size.

The born rivals were first due to fight in October 2022 in a 157lb catchweight clash.

But it was KOd with just days to go as – a banned substance known to boost testosterone.

He protested his innocence and had two wins at the light-middleweight limit in America as his doping saga dragged on.

Eventually, UK Anti-Doping dropped the case against him, allowing Benn to fight on British soil again.

And while Harlem warns his cousin will be too big and too strong – he hopes to also get his hands on Benn in the future.

Harlem, 31, said with a laugh: “Leave something for your cousin!”

The undefeated welterweight from Brighton is 21-0 himself and making great strides under the guidance of his legendary uncle Chris Sr.

But the British boxing great is estranged from his son Chris Jr – and

Eubank Sr feels his eldest's days at middleweight should be up and argues Benn should not be allowed to go up two divisions.

Harlem has been stuck in the middle while still maintaining a good friendship and relationship with cousin Chris.

And he said: “Jr's his own man and Sr is a dad and dad's are always gonna have the best interests for his son.

“Sometimes they're gonna disagree on that, and that's how a father-son relationship is.”
