So to make the fight, there\u2019s got to be concessions from both sides. And the way I looked at it is Chris made 160 for his last five fights and there wasn\u2019t any talk about that, really. He only boxed a few months before the Conor Benn fight and made 160 in Saudi. No one said anything. So, you know, I believe he could have made 160 for this fight. He weighed a little bit over, but he turned up to the weigh-in like with 10 minutes to go, you know what I mean? So, he turned up really late. I believe he could have made that, but listen, it is what it is. Conor Benn can\u2019t move up a third weight to 168 so there\u2019s got to be a realistic weight that Chris has to make, which is his natural weight; 160. And Conor\u2019s probably natural weight for this fight is like between 154 and 156.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cBecause then you\u2019re doing three weight divisions,\u201d Sims adds. \u201cBearing in mind, he [Benn] weighed 156 for the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,54182,13605,101,54183,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-112434","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-chris-eubank-jnr","10":"tag-conor-benn","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tony-sims","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
