sport news How Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn have been preparing for Saturday's clash trends now

Fight night is just around the corner for Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn. The pair will be putting not only their reputation but their family's legacy on the line during their bout at the O2 Arena on Saturday.

Eubank has already said his career will be over if he loses the contest, while Benn is worried a loss could undo all of the hard work he has done so far.

The stakes are high for Saturday night's fight and both boxers will need to bring their absolute A-game.

So, with that in mind, Sportsmail has taken a look at each boxer's approach to the fight and the way they are training for it.

It's safe to say they are both taking very different approaches. Eubank is eating KFC and abstaining from sex, while Benn is smashing the gym and spending time with his family.

Tucking into a KFC bucket 

Eubank Jr's diet has been a topic of conversation leading up to the fight. He has to drop down to a 157lb catchweight for the bout with Benn, having boxed at 160 and 168lbs in his most recent fights.

Many thought the 32-year-old would therefore be dieting ahead of his clash with Benn on October 8. Eubank Jr, however, has other ideas.

He was spotted with a KFC bucket in his hand when he attended the O2 Arena to watch YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI fight twice on the same night.

Many questioned Eubank Jr's motive behind eating the fast food in public, believing it was was publicity stunt designed to lower Benn's guard ahead of the fight. 

Others thought it was an early excuse mechanism in case he loses the highly-anticipated clash on October 8.

Treating himself to burger 

The KFC wasn't Eubank Jr's only fast-food fiasco. The 32-year-old filmed himself tucking into a greasy burger just nine days before hitting the scales for his showdown with Benn.

Eubank Jr shared the video on TikTok and captioned it 'FoodPorn'. He continued: 'Tastes so good it just can't be bad. 11 days until fight night!'.

Many fans have expressed their concern over Eubank Jr's eating habits given the fact the fight will be cancelled if he weighs in at 159lbs or more.

However, Eubank Jr recently said: 'I am not concerned about the weight difference. I put over middles and super-middles in sparring, I have to fly them in, so it makes no difference to me anyway.

'At the end of camp I walk around at around 154lbs and I go into the ring around super-middleweight [168lbs] anyway. So I am not concerned about the weight, it is not a factor for me.'

Insisting he will only fight at 60 per cent
