British heavyweight veteran Derek Chisora has dropped a bombshell on the ongoing Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr saga, declaring outright that Benn “will NEVER beat” his rival in a no-holds-barred interview on the TalkSport podcast. The 41-year-old “War” Chisora, who has shared the ring with the biggest names in boxing, didn’t mince words as he dissected Benn’s style, size, and mentality – predicting a one-sided domination if the long-awaited grudge match ever happens.
Chisora, fresh off his own comeback talks, was asked point-blank about the third-generation feud that’s been brewing since 2022. “Listen, Conor Benn talks a big game, but he’ll never beat Chris Eubank Jr,” Chisora fired. “Why? Because he’s too small, too slow, and lacks that killer instinct his dad had. Nigel Benn was a beast – Conor? He’s a welterweight playing at middleweight. Eubank towers over him, boxes circles around him, and has that Harlem smoke his old man carried. It’s a mismatch waiting to explode.”
The beef traces back to the iconic 1990s rivalry between Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr, culminating in two brutal fights – a TKO win for Eubank in ’90 and a draw in ’93. Fast-forward 30 years, and sons Conor (28, 23-0, 14 KOs) and Chris Jr (36, 33-3, 24 KOs) have been circling each other, with trash talk escalating after Benn’s failed drug tests in 2022 (clomifene positives) derailed a planned October bout. Benn cleared his name in 2024 via UKAD, but Eubank Jr has relentlessly mocked him as “Cocaine Conor.”
Chisora, who sparred both and fought on cards with Eubank Jr, broke it down technically: “Conor’s got speed at 147, but at 160? Eubank’s reach is 72 inches to Benn’s 68 – that’s a foot difference in the pocket. Chris boxes on the back foot, picks you apart. Conor lunges in wild, head high – one uppercut and it’s lights out. And mentally? Benn crumbles under pressure. Remember his last fight against Dobson? Gassed after six. Eubank goes 12 easy.”
Fans exploded online. #ChisoraExposesBenn trended with 500K posts, memes of Benn as a “mini-me” next to Eubank flooding timelines. Eubank Jr retweeted Chisora with 🔥 emojis: “Del Boy speaking facts!” Benn fired back on Instagram Live: “Old man talking rubbish. I’ll smash him too – line ’em up!”
Promoters are salivating. Eddie Hearn (Benn) called Chisora “jealous has-been,” while Kalle Sauerland (Eubank) pushed for a 2026 showdown at Wembley: “Chisora just sold 100K tickets.” Odds shifted – Eubank Jr now heavy favorite at 1.50, Benn drifting to 3.00.
Chisora ended with a warning: “Conor, stay at welter. Chase Gervonta or Boots. Against Chris? You’ll get schooled, embarrassed, and quit on your stool. Legacy over hype.”
As the war of words rages, one thing’s clear: Chisora’s brutal honesty just poured gasoline on British boxing’s hottest feud. Will Benn prove him wrong – or is “Del Boy” spot on?
