The upcoming rematch between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn has sparked a lot of debate, with many questioning whether it's a safe fight for the 24-year-old Benn. However, former WBC cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew is quick to dispel any concerns, stating that he doesn't believe Eubank struggled to make weight for their first bout.
Bellew believes Eubank was not out of breath or weak after the fight and miscalculated his weight loss. He also points out that most fighters would have made weight in a similar situation, rather than making excuses like Eubank has been doing.
The big question on everyone's mind is whether Benn can stop Eubank, who is 41 years old and nearing the end of his career. Bellew thinks that while it's not impossible, it's highly unlikely, but he believes the fight will be a great one regardless.
Bellew also acknowledges that Eubank has been using social media to garner sympathy for himself, painting a narrative of being a victim due to his weight loss. However, Bellew says that people should focus on the actual fight rather than buying into these narratives.
The rematch is set to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and promises to be an exciting one. Both fighters have been training hard and are determined to come out on top.

. Is he really struggling with the pressure or is this just a clever PR stunt? 
I'm not buying into the sympathy narrative - what does that say about our society, anyway? We're more interested in Eubank's drama than actually analyzing his skillset against Benn... 
But Bellew's right, we should focus on the fight itself. It's like life, isn't it? One minute you're on top of your game, the next you're struggling to make weight - does that mean you've lost your edge or just found new ways to adapt? 
! Like, yeah Eubank's been making excuses about the weight loss but I think he's just trying to get ppl on his side 
. Meanwhile Benn's like "nah I got this" 
and it's gonna be a sick fight regardless of who wins 
. The rematch is goin 2 be lit at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 
! I'm dyin 2 see how Eubank handles the pressure after that first bout 
. Benn's got the skills but Eubank's experience might just give him an edge 
Eubank's gonna come at him with all his might, so Benn needs to be sharp from the get-go. I'm loving Tony Bellew's take on this though - calling out Eubank for making excuses instead of taking responsibility for his weight loss 
anyway, ben vs eubank 2 is gonna be sick, both fighters look hungry for a win 
Like, he did lose weight, okay? It happens to everyone! Tony Bellew makes a solid point that most fighters would've made it through the same situation without making excuses. Let's focus on who's gonna actually put in the work on Dec 13th 
Not about Eubank trying to garner sympathy online 
. But, to be fair, Benn's been training too - they both know what they're getting into 
I can imagine how frustrating it must be for Conor Benn's fans to see their fighter being scrutinized like this 
. But honestly, it's great that Tony Bellew is speaking up in his defense 
. It's true that we don't know the whole story behind what happened with Eubank making weight, and it's easy to get caught up in drama on social media 
. I think Benn's got a tough opponent ahead of him, but at 41, Eubank's experience is gonna be huge 
...he's still got a good shot at beating Benn in their rematch! 
I mean, Tony Bellew makes some good points but Eubank's been using social media to paint himself as a victim over his weight loss... like, come on, dude! It's boxing not a soap opera 
. Benn's got skills and he's been training hard but let's be real, Eubank's experience is still gonna give him an edge. The question is will Benn's youth & power take down the old king? 
! The drama around Chris Eubank Jr's weight loss has definitely added a juicy twist to the story 
. I don't blame Tony Bellew for speaking his mind, he's got experience and insight into the sport
