Conor Benn open to fighting Harlem Eubank after Chris Eubank Jr and says he would ‘flatten’ both boxers
Conor Benn wants to take on the whole Eubank family after calling out Chris Eubank Jr and his cousin Harlem Eubank.
Harlem, who is next in action on November 10 in Brighton, is 18-0 as a professional, where he competes one weight class below Benn, at super lightweight.
Ahead of that fight, Chris Eubank Sr spoke to and said that Benn should be fighting his nephew Harlem next instead of Eubank Jr.
Benn responded on , saying: "When I flatten @ChrisEubankJr in 3 rounds the nephew can come in for the encore and I’ll flatten him afterwards for banter."
This comes as Benn is currently in talks to reschedule his fight with Eubank Jr.
The pair were supposed to clash in October last year, but Benn failed two drugs tests in the build-up and the fight was cancelled.

Since then, Benn has been embroiled in this scandal, which is still unresolved, but he returned to the ring in September with an unanimous decision victory over Rodolfo Orozco.
And now the fight with Eubank Jr could be back on, as promoter Eddie Hearn told talkSPORT: "The beef and the bad blood is very real between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr and I would expect it to be after what happened.
"We want to close that fight in the next seven days.
"I believe you're going to see Benn vs Eubank in January, it's going to be a massive stadium fight in the UK.

"We've still got to get the contract signed and see the ink dry.
"But that's the fight we want to make, it's the only one we're interested in. The history is there, the legacy is there, the controversy is there."
Hearn also played down a potential clash between Benn and Harlem Eubank, as he remarked: "Chris [Sr], doesn't represent [Eubank] Jr anymore, he represents Harlem.
"And he's trying to canvas for a Harlem fight against Conor Benn, which is of no interest to us at all."
