# Chris Eubank Jr Promoter Claims Conor Benn Fight Rumours Are “Wild Speculation”

Any rumours of a fight happening between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr are “wild speculation” according to Kalle Sauerland.

Since January 2021 Sauerland has promoted Eubank Jr and the 32-year-old has won three from three against Marcus Morrison, Wanik Awdijan and last time out against Liam Williams.

The 32-year-old Middleweight has been linked to a fight against former WBO Super Welterweight champion Liam Smith. The Liverpudlian, just like Eubank Jr, will now fight on Sky Sports after [Smith signed a promotional agreement with Boxxer](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/liam-smith-signs-multi-fight-agreement-with-boxxer/) last week.

Last week during the Dereck Chisora-Kubrat Pulev fight week [Talksport](https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1144685/conor-benn-chris-eubank-jr-in-talks-fight/) revealed that ‘talks were underway’ for Benn and Eubank Jr to continue the rivalry set by their fathers in the 1990s.

Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn quashed the rumours [telling Social’s Ayman Khan](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/eddie-hearn-talks-benn-eubank/),

> “It’s not one of the fights we’re closing in on.”

But one member of the media refused to be put off. During an appearance on Talksport a few days ago combat sports [journalist Gareth A. Davies said](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/gareth-davies-benn-eubank-jr-sealed/):

> “This fight is quite a long way down the line of happening and will hopefully happen in the autumn of this year.”
>
> “I’m happy to say that this fight is going ahead.”

Today Boxing Social reached out to Sauerland for a comment on the Benn-Eubank Jr situation.

> “Wild speculation.”
>
> “We are discussing two fights and Eubank v Benn of course is huge but not currently in discussions I am involved in.”

As for Benn’s future a big fight is apparently being lined up for the undefeated Welterweight this autumn and [the main target is former WBA Welterweight champion Keith Thurman](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/benn-wants-thurman-fight-next/).
