Carl Froch

The former super-middleweight world champion – who used to spar Eubank – has given the edge to the younger man in Benn.

He said on SunSport’s No Glove Lost episode: “Chris Eubank, size-wise is a slight favourite, even closer to slight favorite than the first time I just think he’s probably got that edge.

“But listen, on the first Froch on Fighting pre-fight prediction – best channel in the business – I’m probably gonna pick Conor Benn.

“I think the youngness and the freshness and what he learned from the first fight will be enough.”

Prediction: Benn

George Groves

Groves – who beat former sparring partner Eubank in 2018 – actually AGREED with old rival Froch on our panel.

He said: “I think Conor Benn wins the rematch, I think there’s more for him to gain, avenge the loss, Eubank Jr got a lot sort of wrong in the first one and he tried to fight too many people up too, he took on too much…

“If you think about who wants it more, I think it’s Conor Benn this time.”

Prediction: Benn

Harlem Eubank

The welterweight – who has called out Benn himself in the past – unsurprisingly backed his older cousin to win – this time by stoppage.

Harlem said: “I can’t see anything other than Chris Eubank Jr stoppage. He’s fully focused.

“I’ve seen how he trained, how he applied himself for the Liam Smith rematch. And again, it’s more of the same when Junior’s prepared for what’s in front of him.

“You see a completely different guy, and that’s the one I’m expecting to see this time around.”

Prediction: Eubank

Liam Smith

Smith is the only man to ever stop Eubank – before losing their rematch in ten rounds the same year.

And he predicted on talkSPORT: “The first fight was better than I expected.

“I expected Chris to win the first fight, but I thought Conor performed better than I expected.

“I think I fancy Conor a little bit more than I did the first fight, and probably if you asked me to put my money where my mouth is, I think Conor might win this one.”

Prediction: Benn

Jack Catterall

Catterall is now up at welterweight – where Benn claims he will drop back down to for a world title shot.

And Catterall told YSM Sports Media: “Conor’s my guy. We’ve supported each other, watched each other fight, and I think he’s going to do it this time by stoppage.

“I think he had him hurt a few times; there were a few moments in the fight where I thought he was going to go.

“Credit to Eubank but I think, this time around, [Benn’s] going to take the emotion out of it – it’s more business – and I believe he’ll get the job done. I think [Benn will stop him] after five rounds – mid to late rounds.”

Prediction: Benn

Amir Khan

Khan – once linked with a fight against Benn before his 2022 retirement – is backing the bigger and stronger Eubank.

He said on iFL TV: “I think Conor will do more, cause he has a little bit left in the tank.

“He could have done more, but he was maybe holding back a little bit. I think it maybe a closer fight than the first one, but I think Eubank will still take that fight, maybe take the win, he has the confidence that he’s beat him once before.

“He’s bigger than him physically, and I think experience, because he’s the favourite going into the fight.

“One thing about Eubank is that he’s won a lot of fans over recently, respect to him there.”

Prediction: Eubank

Johnny Nelson

The former cruiserweight world champ and now Sky Sports pundit is picking Benn to avenge the loss.

He said: “I don’t think Eubank can improve on his performance. At times in the fight, I thought his legs looked stiff, looked stationary, looked like he was stuck in quicksand.

“I do see improvement there for Conor and I do think the result will be the other way around in the next fight. I think he’ll go the distance all over again but I think Conor now knows what he’s capable of doing.

“That’s a bold statement to make because I have ultimate respect for both fighters, to Chris and his dad, Conor and his dad, but you’re saying what you see. If they fight again, I think Conor wins.”

Prediction: Benn

Shawn Porter

The ex-welterweight champ was left impressed by his sparring sessions with Benn – but gives Eubank the edge.

He told Seconds Out: “You’re not losing that weight, you’re carrying that weight, but you’re carrying inexperience along with it, and one of the things he’s carrying is that he’s fighting a guy that’s legitimately taller, legitimately bigger.

“Once he gets past the big explosive punches that he missed, which of course helps him slow down anyway, he didn’t know how to get at Chris Eubank Jr.
