Neither Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn know how they will be expected from the crowd when fighting at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.
Tens of thousands of people who absorb your name would be difficult enough to get anyway, let alone when you keep one of the most famous surnames in British boxing.
The sons of the great rivals Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn fight at a Ring magazine event, live on Sky arce office.
They have their demons to face war, they have their points to try against each other and themselves.
They will also ask how they will be judged.
“This is the first mega-fighted in boxing history where you have two bad people,” Eubank said Heavenly.
“You have the potential for both fighters in a super-war being immersed in the ring. It has never happened before. It will surely happen on April 26th.
“It doesn’t bother me. I enjoy it and enjoy it,” he added. “It’s confused and upset. Now I dream of it. Now I feed from that energy. I’ve learned to use it for my benefit. I’ve accepted my destiny.”
However, even hardened prices find it difficult to resist a fundamental human feeling. They want to be loved too.
“There was so many times in my career, where I thought I would be the good guy; the one who was receiving the support and being cheering. Never happened,” Eubank said.
“Whenever I had a great victory or overcome the misfortune, or put in a good show, I returned from the loss, the next time I was again in the ring I was getting again. So I gave up that dream, many, many years ago.
“My war with Liam Smith, where I beat him in the match was my last type of hope to be accepted as someone who could all get after. The first war I got into the arena, lost my first war, withdrew the right track.
“Six months returned to the same arena, I went into the ring against a boy that everyone said I couldn’t beat because I was’ finished ‘,’ I didn’t have a beard ‘and’ I didn’t want it anymore.
“I thought ‘now I can probably get a little clumsy’ and the next time I went to public, Anthony Joshua against Dubois, I walked to Wembley Stadium, 80,000 people, cameras are on me while I’m walking inside. I look on the screen and all the screens had my face in them while I’m walking inside.
“So while I’m walking in my country, I really realized. I’m not that boy, I’m not the golden boy, the one who everyone wants to win, the national treasure – I don’t know what these people call everyone always backing – but I’m never like that.
Conor Benn does not see himself as a ‘bad guy’. He insists that he is not an angry man.
“I’m not angry. I think that’s what people are wrong. I’m not angry. I’m intense and I’m passionate. You might say I’m a little angry. Not with it, I’m just an intense person to come weeks. I think it’s always personal when someone is trying to remove something from you,” Benn said Heavenly.
“Have I ever lost my calm? Maybe early doors, not now.”
Benn’s public perception is formed by the infamous. It was originally due to Box Eubank in 2022, a period that was fired after its drug test results emerged.
He protested for his suspensions and, after two periods in the US in intervention for two years, in November his temporary suspension and British boxing board and UKAD did not appeal, releasing it to the British box.
“I felt like we had justified when I won the first opportunity, the first hearing,” Benn said. “There is nothing more I can do. There’s nothing more I can say. After all it’s a big story and people just want a story, people want something to rumor to talk, but after all it’s done.
“I finally broke down,” Benn said. “It is still healing.
“I’ve gone to the hardest fight someone can ever pass and it’s just life in my head.”
Giving him this war too, Eubank asked himself, “Have I done a favor? I think you can say that. Without me in terms of business, he has nothing.
“Everything was taken from him: his reliability, his respect, his name, everyone was thrown.
There is a competition even though Eubank JR did not resist to receive.
“This is a war that has a lot of public interest. People who have no interest in boxing want this war to happen. Become is more than Conor Benn, and I. History, history, legacy of our fathers made this war mass and now everything that has played between me and Conor has made the war explode even more,” he said.
“Now it really is the main stream, which is great for boxing. I understand that this is the biggest struggle of my career for sure and I’m treating it as such.”
