Overview

• At the London press conference for their Nov. 15 rematch, Chris Eubank Jr claimed Matchroom personnel delayed his ambulance for about 20 minutes after his April win over Conor Benn, saying he was on a gurney with an oxygen mask and calling the delay dangerous.
• Promoter Eddie Hearn forcefully rejected the claim as false, pressed Eubank to name Matchroom explicitly, cited fight-night paramedic logs, and said he would pursue legal action if no apology follows.
• Eubank also alleged a pattern of ‘sabotage’ in the first fight, including contract breaches, stringent rehydration terms, a compromised weigh-in, biased officiating, and efforts to hinder his team’s access; those assertions were dismissed by Hearn.
• The event featured heated exchanges as Eubank repeatedly interrupted Hearn, including during an attempted tribute to the late Ricky Hatton, prompting Hearn to insult him; Benn kept remarks brief, said he learned from the loss, and wore a Manchester City shirt in Hatton’s memory.
• The rematch is set for Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with DAZN pay-per-view expected, following Eubank’s unanimous decision in April that left him hospitalized for dehydration and cost him a reported £500,000 for missing weight.
