Simon Jordan tells Chris Eubank Jr’s promoter to pull his man out of Conor Benn fight
As things stand, it remains unclear whether or not the fight will go ahead on Saturday night.
Jim White suggested this in truth was all about the money, to which Sauerland answered: “It’s a professional sport, so of course money is involved.“At the same time, I would say for Eubank Jr to step away there would be a serious case [for damages], and there’s a lot of other fights on the table. So yes and no.”
“You can question that, you can say that’s wrong, but we follow it by the book and the letter of the law.”Jordan went on to add: “It’s one thing Derek Chisora and David Haye fighting under Luxembourg rules because they didn’t have British Boxing Board licences, it’s another thing going to Luxembourg, Liechtenstein or Poland and trying to find a way to get round the governing authority in this country.
