# Tony Bellew Makes Emphatic Chris Eubank-Conor Benn KO Prediction: “I Have No Doubt”

Tony Bellew has made an emphatic prediction about what would happen should Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn finally get in the ring together – and it involves a knockout inside five rounds.

Eubank and Benn were supposed to fight well over a year ago but the contest was canceled in fight week when news emerged that Benn had failed two drug tests. Since then he has been involved in a still unresolved saga and doesn’t currently have a licence with the British Boxing Board of Control. [He recently fought stateside, however, and since then talk has been building of the fight with Eubank getting remade for the end of the year](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/conor-benn-rodolfo-orozco-fight-report/).

Eubank has twice fought Liam Smith since the ill-fated bout with Benn – he lost their first encounter by knockout and then reversed that with his own 10th round stoppage in the rematch.

[Speaking to Ade Oladipo,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH6SkBpZ43U&t=357s) Bellew mused on how many seats the potential all-British grudge match could sell.

> “Whenever them two boys come together in a boxing ring they will sell every single seat possible wherever they go.
>
> They could sell 100, 000. I’m not sure it happens on the 23rd \[of December\] but I promise you if it does happen on the 23rd there won’t be a spare seat. I can’t explain how important history is in the business. If there’s a storyline it’s getting made.”

Bellew was then asked for a prediction and he didn’t hesitate to go big on Benn.

> “Conor Benn knocks him out inside five rounds. Too explosive. Too young. Too quick. Inside five rounds, I don’t even question it. That wasn’t Liam Smith in the rematch.”

[Eddie Hearn has made no secret of the fact he’s trying to make the fight for December 23 and wants to host it at a stadium in the UK](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-12659015/Eddie-Hearn-Chris-Eubank-Jr-Conor-Benn-UK-December-January-Middle-East.html).
