The 12-round Middleweight bout arrives just days ahead of the 35-year anniversary of when Chris Eubank Snr. and Nigel Benn fought for the first time. Joined by their fathers on stage, both fighters discussed their initial matchup which has been heralded as one of the best fights of 2025, and what to expect ahead of Saturday\u2019s explosive rematch. The epic sequel, along with the entirety of the loaded undercard lineup, is the latest installment in DAZN\u2019s November boxing schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Hosted by Jamie Ward of Matchroom Boxing, Thursday\u2019s press conference saw both Eubank Jnr. and Benn, their fathers, and the undercard fighters take to the stage to discuss the high-stakes rematch, the influence of their fathers, and more. <\/p>\n<p>Below is what the fighters and their teams had to say:<\/p>\n<p>Chris Eubank Jnr.<\/p>\n<p>On whether he had any idea of what he was signing up for\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had no idea that I would be sitting in front of you guys today with this man [Chris Eubank Snr.] by my side. I found out a couple of hours ago, so I\u2019m just as shocked as you all. I still don\u2019t know what he might say, what he might do\u2026I\u2019m sure it will be interesting. All jokes aside, there is something I need to address first and foremost. Eddie Hearn, Conor Benn, Nigel Benn \u2013 over the last few months have been making accusations and claims that my father was paid to come to the fight in April. Just barefaced lies and anyone with a brain knows it\u2019s not true, but I still have to address it because it\u2019s extremely disrespectful to my father and myself. I also think it\u2019s pretty disrespectful to the Saudis to claim that they would pay my father to do that. I\u2019d just like to get that out into the open, staking my claim once and for all as that that never happened, and for these men to stop lying to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what sort of lift his father provides\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not here to talk about my feelings or my emotions. I\u2019m here to talk about things that are bothering me and that I think I should shine a light on, just as I always do at these press conferences. There\u2019s a small issue \u2013 well it\u2019s not a small issue, it\u2019s actually a very big issue to me \u2013 the head of my security since 2014, a man by the name of Ivan, has been black balled and blocked from coming to this fight by Eddie Hearn and Matchroom because of a released report about the stoppage of my ambulance, which I don\u2019t think is fair and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s correct that a man who is simply doing his job and telling the truth is blackballed by the powers that be. So I wanted to put that out there, because if it can happen to him, it can happen to anybody \u2013 these people are controlling the industry. They\u2019re making jokes about it, but it\u2019s a guy\u2019s livelihood on the line. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair, so I\u2019m putting that out there for the world to know and something needs to be done about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what comes of Conor Benn\u2019s career if all goes to plan on Saturday\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not about what happens next. I\u2019m going to go in there and I\u2019m going to show the world who I am again. After that, who knows what will happen next \u2013 I can\u2019t tell you what this guy\u2019s [Conor Benn] going to do next. He\u2019ll tell you all these stories about all these different fights he\u2019s going to have and that\u2019s great. I\u2019m not worried about any of that. I\u2019m worried about going out there in a couple of days and making history again, which I will do.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>On his final word before Saturday\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe procedure will be parliamentary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris Eubank Snr.<\/p>\n<p>On why it was important for him to be at this press conference with his son\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe [Chris Eubank Jnr.] is doing the weight, so I\u2019m here to support just in case there are those who want to bark. So I guess I\u2019m actually here to protect him. I should say, in regards to the love of a son\u2026If a father takes money, there\u2019s nothing with it. But for the father who doesn\u2019t take money and has taken no money \u2013 none. Then that is to be studied. Study that. You can\u2019t pay me anything. I\u2019m here for heart and love. Remember, what I\u2019ve lived by through my career and what\u2019s made me do. What it\u2019s made me do is that I\u2019ve lived with and behaved with patience, kindness. I\u2019ve never envied. I don\u2019t boost. I\u2019m not proud. I\u2019m not rude. I\u2019m not self-seeking. I\u2019m not easily angered and I keep no record of wrong. That\u2019s why I continuously win because I live by the statutes of the spirit. The consciousness of Christ. Whoever said I was paid whatever sum of money, they lied to you. And you actually spouting what they told you makes you a liar. So expose who told you that lie in order to actually clear your name otherwise who in the future is going to believe you of anything you say. I\u2019ve always walked the straight line. I fought the good fight, finished the race and I kept the faith. Now, there is in store for me the crown of righteousness and the Lord, the righteous judge will award to me on that day that crown of righteousness. And not only for me, but also to all who have longed for his appearance. I speak in my woke truth. Nothing bad. That\u2019s the only way you become a true entertainer that lasts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Chris Eubank Jnr.\u2019s first fight against Conor Benn\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have spoken.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Brian McIntyre, Chris Eubank Jnr.\u2019s Trainer <\/p>\n<p>On why he thinks Chris can win easier this time\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just believe in Chris\u2019 skillset and his will. Chris wants to win and he\u2019s got that killer instinct. Once you get a fighter like that, it\u2019s easy to work with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On whether or not he can do it within the distance this time\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I always say, I don\u2019t go out there trying to push guys to go for the knockout. I go out there and make these guys try to go for the win. That said, if the knockout is there, we\u2019ll get it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conor Benn <\/p>\n<p>On what he has learned about himself and why this world is a world for Conor Benn <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first turned pro, I didn\u2019t envision being here, of course. Definitely not sitting next to Chris [Eubank Jnr.] and fighting Chris. We were both in different stages of our careers when we first turned over, or when I first turned over anyway. For us to be sitting here, it\u2019s legacy and it\u2019s generational. I didn\u2019t choose this life, it sort of just fell into place and here I am, the fighter I am, I like to fight, it\u2019s what I do. My dad\u2019s got eight kids and I\u2019m the one who\u2019s chosen to live this life.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>On if he\u2019s happy to see Chris Eubank Snr. here\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good to have him here. Sitting at the top table having my dad here and [Eubank] Snr. here, it was always meant to be, and it was meant to be the first time around. We are where we are because of our dads. Yes, we had to work hard, but credit Snr. and to my old man that me and Jnr. can sit here and carry this on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what makes him feel he took Chris Eubank Jnr.\u2019s soul in the last fight\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was in the hospital for three days. I was back in the gym, he threw double the amount of punches and I was back in the gym on Sunday. Talk about the most damage done in the fight, I believe I inflicted a lot more pain. His work rate was incredible, his resilience, his strength, his spirit, his athleticism, his experience \u2013 he really took me by surprise, and he\u2019s a better fighter than I thought he was. I\u2019m ready to take what\u2019s left on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think once you learn about Chris [Eubank Jnr.], you learn to understand he is just the way he is, but he genuinely has my respect as a fighter. Resilient. I thought I\u2019d knock you [Eubank Jnr.] out in three rounds, but I didn\u2019t. I tip my hat off to you, because we\u2019re both sitting here \u2013 we didn\u2019t have to. We didn\u2019t choose this life. We\u2019re both here putting it all on the line, pouring our hearts out, so I tip my hat off to you. I don\u2019t like you though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my last fight at 160 pounds. I hope everyone enjoys, but I will be dropping down to 147 pounds. I\u2019ll drop back down and pursue my career to win a World Title. I\u2019m glad I could give you all this fantasy fight, and me showing a pair of bollocks to jump up two weights to fight you [Eubank Jnr.].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On how he wins on Saturday night\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you asked me this question six months ago, I would have been the only guy to render him unconscious and knock him out. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I dream about it, but I\u2019m going to go in there and give it a calculated performance. I think everybody knows I love to fight. It\u2019s inevitable. I love fighting. It\u2019s who I am and it\u2019s in my DNA. Any fight I\u2019ve had I put on a performance for the public, and that\u2019s my prize \u2013 giving people value for money. I\u2019m here, I\u2019m not trying to nick a fight on points or just trying to win. I\u2019m here to give people value for money and entertainment. But ultimately, my priority is to go in there and get the win. That\u2019s my priority. However, that comes and however it looks.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Nigel Benn<\/p>\n<p>On how it makes him feel sitting across from his biggest rival\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow does it feel? Water running down my back. Nothing. It\u2019s not even about me. It\u2019s about my son and Chris [Eubank ] Jnr. I\u2019m not really paying attention to what he says. It\u2019s just goes over my head. I\u2019m not even really just taking it all on board. Not at all. If we\u2019re here to talk about a fight, that\u2019s what I\u2019m here to talk about \u2013 my son fighting, nothing else. Not about what he\u2019s done or what he hasn\u2019t done. It doesn\u2019t bother me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On facing off with Chris Eubank Snr\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t mind having a face-off with him all day long. But it\u2019s not about us. We\u2019ve had our past. It\u2019s about [Chris Eubank] Jnr. and Conor [Benn], and the fight. That\u2019s all I want to talk about. I don\u2019t want to talk about anything else. We know what\u2019s what, we know what\u2019s true, we know what lies are. I\u2019m here to support my son and I\u2019ve been watching my son train hard. In the first fight, everyone was saying \u2018what a great fight,\u2019 but you know what, Conor was throwing punches from South Africa, Germany, all over the place. That wasn\u2019t boxing. It was a good fight, but it wasn\u2019t boxing. It wasn\u2019t what we know Conor can do.  I\u2019ve seen what Conor can do. If he sticks to his game plan, he will have victory early doors. I believe that, I\u2019ve been seeing him spar. What\u2019s really good about this fight for me, is Conor\u2019s mindset. That\u2019s the most important thing because he\u2019s always been an unbelievable trainer. Me, as a world champion, my fitness is here, Conor\u2019s is completely on another level, so it was never about his fitness, it was all about his mindset. The team we have behind him, have all \u2013 because of Conor \u2013 been relaxed. Not one bit of stress like we\u2019ve had in the last fight. No stress whatsoever. I know we\u2019re going to get the victory. I\u2019m 100% sure of that. Regardless of what they say, Conor had him in more trouble than he ever had Conor. The difference is once Conor takes his time and does what he knows he can do, we\u2019ll be victorious, early doors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tony Sims, Conor Benn\u2019s Trainer<\/p>\n<p>On his counter to Brian McIntyre\u2019s claim that Chris can win easier this time\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, the first fight was a tremendous fight for the fans and I don\u2019t know how much skillset was involved in that fight, but it was certainly, as they say, a fight of the year contender. I believe that Conor\u2019s [Benn] been able to make adjustments for this fight and I believe he has done it with energy and he\u2019s worked really hard to make those adjustments. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve really seen the finest of Conor yet. I believe that he\u2019s got a higher IQ when he\u2019s in the ring and a higher skillset, and I believe Saturday night when he comes in the ring he will show that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On how he sees Conor Benn winning this fight\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe in the adjustments he\u2019s made for this fight and the way that I know Conor can fight. Obviously, I\u2019ve been with him from the start and he\u2019s been set to win this fight consistently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jack Catterall <\/p>\n<p>On not being pleased with his performances and if people can expect a different version of him\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s all in the past. I\u2019m focused on Saturday. I\u2019ve prepared well and prepared hard, made many sacrifices, so I\u2019m switched on and ready to do my job on Saturday night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what is at stake on Saturday\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some great fights to be made, but that is all irrelevant now. We\u2019ve both got to fight Saturday and that is all I am focused on. Ekow [Essuman] is a good fighter, but he doesn\u2019t bring anything I have not seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ekow Essuman <\/p>\n<p>On what the fight with Jack Catterall will represent in his story\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAwkward customer. Tricky character, but I can be trickier. I\u2019m looking forward to it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>On what makes him a better fighter and why he will win\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone just knows me by the engine. They don\u2019t know me by the spectre. They don\u2019t know about my alter ego. So, when we get into the ring come Saturday, you\u2019re going to see a world-class performance where I show that statement performance to everyone on the world stage and they see exactly who I am.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>On if a win against Jack Catterall will take him to that World Title\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I win, it will.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>On his final words to Jack Catterall\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJack Catterall has never seen my version of beautiful violence, so it\u2019s going to be a good fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adam Azim <\/p>\n<p>On what he makes of Kurt Scoby\u2019s energy during fight week\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese Americans love to talk, but I\u2019m cool and calm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s like a little kid that comes home from school. I\u2019m very confident and he\u2019ll see on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On if Kurt Scoby has wound him up heading into Saturday\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not wound up, I\u2019m very calm. I\u2019ll show him in the ring. I\u2019ll beat his a** then beat Devin Haney \u2013 his boy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his final prediction ahead of Saturday night\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s going to get a proper demolition on Saturday night. I believe in myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kurt Scoby <\/p>\n<p>On what the fans and Adam Azim will find out on Saturday night\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll week I\u2019ve said I don\u2019t play boxing. I\u2019ve let it be known that I\u2019m here for business. I prepared myself my whole life, struggled my whole life, but I\u2019m ready for this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On if he thinks he\u2019s succeeded in making Adam Azim uncomfortable\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we did very well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his final prediction for Saturday night\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to pin his a**.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard Riakporhe<\/p>\n<p>On what he means by this fight being about legacy, discipline, and purpose\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe journey\u2019s been a long journey for me to be on the stage, competing on these big shows. A lot of people don\u2019t know but pre-COVID, things were very different. To get on this big stage you have to win some big fights. The journey continues and we want to get one more title \u2013 a heavyweight \u2013 so we\u2019re working towards that. I\u2019m looking forward to putting on a dominant performance on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his response to Team Welch commenting that moving up to heavyweight was not a wise idea\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody has their own opinion, it doesn\u2019t mean anything to me. It\u2019s all about results and the results will speak for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On how he wants to win the fight on Saturday\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think it is going to last very long, to be honest. Just tune in, everyone is going to like it. I have been working for this, and I am looking to entertain. We are ready.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Tommy Welch <\/p>\n<p>On calling himself a nobody in the buildup and what everyone will find out about him on Saturday Night\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s [Richard Riakporhe] moved up at the wrong time. He fell to a cruiserweight against Chris Billiam-Smith who\u2019s in the building. He went missing for a little while by all accounts. He\u2019s trying to reinvent himself now at heavyweight. I\u2019ve been here for a long time and it\u2019s been quite hard to get on the scene. It seems like the game has changed. You have to be popular, you have to be famous, you have to put a lot of bums on seats and I haven\u2019t had anyone helping me with that, so the fact that I\u2019m here, it\u2019s a nice opening for me. This isn\u2019t Richard\u2019s downfall on Saturday night, this is my arrival. I\u2019m probably the only one that hasn\u2019t feared him. I\u2019ve been calling him out for the last 10 months\u2026I want him. He\u2019s come up to my weight in my division. On Saturday Night, the midnight train is taking the last bus home.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Sam Gilley <\/p>\n<p>On what it means to be fighting in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as a Tottenham fan\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve waited a long time to fight for this British title, and the fact that it\u2019s ended up being at Spurs is special. I mean, being a Spurs fan, it\u2019s usually quite a painful weekend, so I\u2019m looking forward to having a bit of fun and getting a win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On why Ishmael Davis won\u2019t beat him on Saturday\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, it is respectful, it\u2019s just work for us at the end of the day. I just believe with every bit of me that this is what the last couple of years, all the disappointments, have led to this. This is just my moment to show how good I am and what level I\u2019m at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ishmael Davis <\/p>\n<p>On why he\u2019s never let setbacks derail him\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just believe you have to keep going in life. I know the level of boxing that I can get to and I feel like I\u2019m owed a belt. But that\u2019s in the past and now it\u2019s time to get the British Title and Commonwealth Title. You know, I\u2019ve heard him [Sam Gilley] say he says he wants to win the British title since he was a kid. I hope he does win it, but Saturday won\u2019t be his night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On how he\u2019ll leave with the belt on Saturday\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone knows what I bring. We know what Sam [Gilley] brings. I\u2019m going to be in there like a steam machine on Saturday, but get ready for a good fight and I\u2019ll do what I do best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mikie Tallon <\/p>\n<p>On what this opportunity and moment means to him\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo come off a great winner from the Canelo vs. Crawford card, and now fighting on the Eubank Jnr. vs. Benn card, it doesn\u2019t get much bigger in the UK, so I\u2019m really grateful.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>On how much it\u2019s about leaving Tottenham with a victory and good performance\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt means a lot. That\u2019s all I\u2019m here to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fezan Shahid <\/p>\n<p>On how he feels on his boxing journey after coming such a long way\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just grateful for this occasion. Obviously, I\u2019m a massive underdog for this fight. I\u2019ve got nothing to lose but everything to gain. I\u2019m just happy to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what his plans are for Saturday night\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike you said, he\u2019s [Mikie Tallon]  the favorite, so hopefully I have a big performance and go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ben Shalom, Founder &amp; CEO, BOXXER<\/p>\n<p>On why Eubank Jnr. beats Benn for the second time on Saturday night\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat an occasion we have again. It feels like the Chris Eubank Jnr. show all over again and a family rivalry that has gone on for a long time. This is a generational fight with generational stakes for Chris Eubank Jnr. and this is the moment he cements himself as a great in British boxing. For the attention he brings to the sport, this is the seventh fight that I\u2019ve promoted with him and every single one is a spectacle \u2013 this one is no different. It\u2019s a huge moment, we know the fights beyond this, the names beyond this, the big nights we want to bring to this country [United Kingdom] and back to stadiums, but it only happens with a statement performance on Saturday night. I believe that\u2019s what we\u2019ll get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What it means to be involved\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s incredible to be sat up here and see the scale of this again, it doesn\u2019t happen very often and it will be a huge night for Chris Eubank Jnr. on Saturday, but it will also be a very good night for our guys on the undercard. Obviously, Adam Azim, who we believe is a generational talent, takes on Kurt Scoby who has been loud all week. This is the test that he needs, he is looking jacked, he\u2019s looking big, but this is a perfect opportunity for Adam Azim to see and show how good he is. All the talk before the fight, there won\u2019t be any talk after the fight.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRichard Riakporhe returns \u2013 he\u2019s been to the top of the cruiserweight division with us for a long time, always felt like he wasn\u2019t right at the weight, like there was another gear to go. And now at heavyweight, he takes on Tommy Welch, who deserves a lot of credit, stepping up the heavyweight in a big clash \u2013 it is a test that they wanted. The winner will go on to big things, but an incredible undercard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what to expect from Richard Riakporhe in this chapter\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best is yet to come, something that Richard has been waiting for for a long time. He had to wait a long time to fight for the World Title at the cruiserweight division, and then it was moving up straight away. It\u2019s a test, it is a big show, fair play to Tommy [Welch] for taking this. He\u2019ll be wanting to follow in his dad\u2019s footsteps. It\u2019s as much of a big night for him as it is for Richard. But Richard looks at that British domestic heavyweight scene, and he wants to get in amongst it. He wants those big names, he wants the big fights, and a win on Saturday night. That\u2019s what he\u2019ll get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what he believes is working with Adam Azim\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, he\u2019s scary. I mean, credit to Adam, but he said he\u2019d take on anyone at late notice. I think Kurt Scoby\u2019s a perfect opponent. He\u2019s a perfect opponent to establish his name on the world scene. A lot of people talk very well of Kurt. I know he\u2019s been keeping fit, I know he\u2019s been keeping active. Plus, he looks the part and talks the part, which is exactly what Adam Azim needs. I know it\u2019s going to be an emphatic statement on Saturday night. This is the moment that Adam\u2019s been waiting for, a breakout moment on the world scene, and I know Scoby\u2019s gonna give him just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eddie Hearn, Promoter, Matchroom Boxing<\/p>\n<p>On what it means to be promoting Chris Eubank Jnr. vs. Conor Benn again\u2026<\/p>\n<p>[Holding up signs reading] \u201cGood evening all! I know it upsets Chris when I speak. So I\u2019ve taken a new approach. Thank you to his excellency for his continued support. Last April, we witnessed a British classic. Both men gave us a fight we will never forget. But for now, let me just say\u2026 Just because it\u2019s fight week (and we always tell the truth). To me, Conor Benn is perfect. He\u2019s ready for the performance of his career. So, get ready for another epic war. Make sure you all tune in\u2013 live worldwide on DAZN.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what Saturday night means\u2026<br \/>\u201cYou see the scale and the size of this event. DAZN has established themselves as the global home of boxing, and we know this event is exclusively live on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of the main event, this is an unbelievable card. In terms of the undercard, from our guys, the man to my left, should have been the undisputed champion at 140 pounds. What a fight against Ekow Essuman, you saw him end the career of Josh Taylor. This is Matchroom against Queensbury, a domestic matchup that could outsell any arena in the UK. Getting another golden opportunity to fight a great fighter in Sam Gilley, another domestic fight for the British title. This is what dreams are made of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the pressure on Ishmael Davis on Saturday night\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIshmael [Davis] has had a lot of great opportunities. He\u2019s also taken a lot of tough fights on short notice, but there\u2019s nothing to say other than he must win this fight on Saturday night \u2013 this is the absolute last chance to loon, to take one of these chances. He\u2019s a great fighter, he\u2019s worked his socks off, but Sam\u2019s [Gilley] a great fighter as well. This is a great domestic matchup and a must-win for our man, and we believe he\u2019ll get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the big fight between Jack Catterall and Ekow Essuman, and what\u2019s at stake for the winner\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA world title shot. They are both tremendous fighters. It\u2019s great to see a domestic fight at the world level. Ekow is coming off a great win. We all know Jack Catterall should have been the undisputed champion, but that\u2019s in the past now. I think you\u2019re going to see a career-best performance. The stars are going to clash perfectly. The last time out was a bit of a clash of the wrong stars with Jack. Ekow Essuman loves to fight and loves to come forward. Jack is going to produce what I think is a career-best performance in what I think will be a domestic classic on this brilliant card.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For additional information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/DAZN.com\/boxing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DAZN.com\/boxing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   <a href=\"https:\/\/fightnews.com\/tickets-on-sale-for-zayas-vs-baraou-unification\/176996\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tickets On Sale For Zayas Vs.
