Chris Eubank Jr. has revealed that he will abstain from sex for two weeks ahead of his fight against Conor Benn.
Eubank Jr. is set to fight Benn on Saturday, October 8 at the O2 Arena in London. The pair will face off in a 12-round Welterweight main event.
There's history in this fight since their fathers fought each other twice in the 1990s. Eubank Sr. won his first clash against Nigel Benn and the second ended in a thrilling draw.
This second-generation fight has a long-standing rivalry behind it. Conor Benn will look to settle the score for his father.
In their face-off video, Chris Eubank Jr. revealed that he usually abstains from sex before his fights, but since he's fighting Benn, he will be observing abstinence for less time than usual:
"Usually I go eight weeks without sex, I abstain for eight weeks."
A confused Conor Benn replied saying:
"How has it come to this, and what are you saying?"
Eubank Jr. then explained the reason behind his decision. Implying that Benn isn't an elite fighter, Eubank said:
"Canelo, Golovkin, they get eight weeks [of abstinence], Saunders gets four weeks, Conor Benn gets two. Jake Paul get one week, so you're not at the bottom of the barrel but you're close."
This all-British battle will take place in less than four weeks. Conor 'The Destroyer' Benn will have his WBA Continental Welterweight Title on the line on October 6.
