  • REMATCH SEASON
    Apr 30 2025
    ➡️ https://www.patreon.com/c/TheOpeningBellPodcast ⬅️ As Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois confirm their summer sequel, a rerun of the Chris Eubank Jr-Conor Benn affair seems almost certain. But does every big fight need a rematch? There are further thoughts on Eubank Jr’s battle with Benn - and the scales - with an update from the BBBoC on those images of Eubank trying to make weight. We look ahead to a bustling weekend featuring Canelo Alvarez, Teofimo Lopez, Naoya Inoue, Devin Haney and the returning Ryan Garcia. In This Week, we rewatch the heavyweight slugfest between Vitali Klitschko and Corrie Sanders. Thanks for listening to the Opening Bell. Ding! Ding! Learn more about your ad choices.

  • FOETAL FURY: EUBANK BEATS BENN
    Apr 27 2025
    In the end, we got a terrific contest, one loaded with excitement and bravery. But after a fight like that, can it really be the end? Perhaps it should be for Eubank, who acted his age in more ways than one while containing the youthful abandon of Benn. It threatened to mimic WWE at the start, as the fathers played their role in the circus, but it was a fight we’ll never forget and one that left the winner in hospital. And regardless of all that came before in this long and winding story, perhaps that final plot twist is the most pertinent of them all. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • EUBANK vs. BENN: THE BLOOD TRAIL
    Apr 26 2025
    30 months after two failed tests aborted the fight between Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn, the old family feud is now set to be renewed. We examine the form, age and weight of the fighters, the history of the rivalry, and ponder who will have their hand raised at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Ben Whittaker’s victory over Liam Cameron, alongside the stoppage, the aftermath and the undercard, are also discussed in detail. We hear from Ellie Scotney and, in This Week, go back to 2009 to relive a frenzied featherweight battle that lit up Belfast’s Ulster Hall.
