Conor Benn has leveled accusations against his rival Chris Eubank Jr, claiming that Eubank Jr is adopting a ‘victim mentality’ following the release of a video showing him in a hospital setting. The footage depicted Eubank Jr, 36, lying still on a hospital bed connected to medical equipment, prompting an outpouring of sympathy from fans. Some supporters even suggested that Eubank Jr should consider retiring after his defeat to Benn in a previous match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Benn, however, urged fans to question Eubank Jr’s motives behind sharing the video, insinuating that it was a ploy to gain sympathy. The 29-year-old mentioned rumors of Eubank Jr suffering from health issues during his training camp and after the fight, but downplayed the severity of the conditions, emphasizing the importance of looking beyond the surface.
In an interview with the Mail, Benn highlighted his own undisclosed struggles, contrasting his approach to handling challenges without seeking public sympathy. He emphasized the tough nature of their sport, referring to themselves as modern-day gladiators and recounting personal experiences of overcoming obstacles without complaint.
Eubank Jr, on the other hand, clarified in his social media post that despite his recent health issues, he has no intentions of retiring from boxing. He acknowledged the challenges he has faced over the past year but expressed determination to return to peak condition and make a triumphant comeback for his loyal fans.
