Tyson Fury Gives Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn Prediction

When it comes to boxing, Tyson Fury is most definitely a man who knows a thing or two. Fury is of course the former two-time world heavyweight champion, before hanging up his gloves following his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024.

In retirement, Fury has kept himself to himself, but as a true boxing man he obviously still keeps a close eye on the sport he loves.

One of the biggest topics of conversation in the boxing world today is of course the upcoming Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn super-fight on April 26th. Eubank Jr and Benn are set to face off in a middleweight contest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, two-and-a-half years on from their proposed fight in October 2022.

The hype for the bout has reached fever pitch, with Chris Eubank Jr smashing Conor Benn in the face with an egg at the first press conference in late February. That has only added fuel to the fire, with hatred running deep for each other.

This of course follows on from the fierce rivalry between their fathers – Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn. The pair shared two fights back in the 1990s, with Eubank Jr winning the first fight and the second contest being deemed a draw.

Now, it’s the two sons who will throw down, after being born rivals and now having their own fierce rivalry. The fight is certainly hotly-anticipated, with big names from the boxing world weighing in with the predictions on the fight. Tyson Fury is one of those names.

Fury: ‘Probably Chris Eubank Jr’

Speaking in a recent interview with TNT Sports, the former world heavyweight king had his say on the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn clash.

‘The Gypsy King’ was direct and short with his answer, not going into too much detail. However, it is clear to see from his response to the question asked that he is favouring Chris Eubank Jr to get the job done over Conor Benn on April 26th.

“It’s a weight category thing. If it’s 10.5 stone it’s going to be Conor Benn. If it’s at middleweight then probably Chris Eubank Jr,” Fury told TNT Sports.

Given that the fight is indeed at middleweight (160-pounds), it is evident that Tyson Fury is picking Chris Eubank Jr to defeat bitter rival Conor Benn.

This matches what the best boxing betting sites think too, who have listed ‘Next Gen’ as a slight favourite over Benn in the latest odds, given his advantages in both size and experience.
