Fighter quotes
Chris Eubank Jr: “Consistency, staying active, that’s always been a big part of how I’ve always been able to have longevity and consistency in my career.
“And I’m very happy that I’ve been able to have two massive fights this year and I think next year we’re going to have even bigger ones. Why not? Like I said, as long as that fire’s in me, I’m going to be in that ring.”
Conor Benn stated: “I still don’t like him, but I feel very differently now. I’m a very emotional guy and it’s down to me to keep my emotions at bay which I have done, up to now.
“You can see his antics already and to me he looks worried because he’s clutching at straws to try and get me going, but I don’t feel like that’s me anymore.”
