Conor Benn has been getting some quality sparring in ahead of his upcoming clash with Chris Eubank Jr.
‘The Destroyer’ is set to square off against his bitter rival on April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and has left no stone unturned in his preparations.
Benn, a natural welterweight, will jump up two weight classes to face Eubank Jr at middleweight.
There is a 10lb rehydration clause inserted into both men’s contracts to level the playing field.
However, Benn will still need to adjust to the new weight.
In order to do that, Benn’s trainer, Tony Sims, has secured him rounds with several top middleweights and super middleweights.
Denzel Bentley

‘2Sharp’ sparred with Benn several times last month and will return for the final week of camp.
The 30-year-old boasts a 21-3-1 record and is a former world title challenger, having previously come up short against Janibek Alimkhanuly for the WBO belt in November 2022.
Ramtin Musah

The 25-year-old from Cheshire trains with Sims and recently turned over as a professional with Frank Warren‘s Queensberry Promotions after a glittering amateur career.
In the unpaid ranks, Musah won the 2021 English Boxing National Amateur Championships and picked up a gold medal at the 2024 World Boxing Cup, but narrowly missed out on a place at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Bruno Surace

The Frenchman authored one of the biggest upsets of the year last December when he flattened the former WBO super welterweight champion with a dynamite right hand in his home city of Tijuana, Mexico.
His stunning victory has allowed him to rise from relative obscurity to a chief support slot on Canelo Alvarez‘s upcoming Cinco de Mayo weekend card.
William Scull

Benn posted a picture to Instagram of the pair drenched in sweat after a gruelling sparring session on Wednesday.
Scull is the reigning IBF super middleweight champion – a belt he won in a vacant world title fight against Vladimir Shishkin last October after Canelo opted to relinquish the strap to fight Edgar Berlanga.
Canelo is still in possession of the WBO, WBA and WBC belts and will get the opportunity to become a two-time undisputed super middleweight champion in just over four weeks.
