Will a contest with Terence Crawford be any different? Whether all that was down to poor planning or simply bad luck, it was a relief when Naoya Inoue provided some thrills and spills in Las Vegas. But does another trip to the canvas mean we’re witnessing the beginning of the end of his peak years? We also look ahead to Leigh Wood’s scrap with Anthony Cacace and back to Oscar De La Hoya showcasing his superstar potential against Rafael Ruelas in This Week. Learn more about your ad choices.

    ➡️ https://www.patreon.com/c/TheOpeningBellPodcast ⬅️ As Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois confirm their summer sequel, a rerun of the Chris Eubank Jr-Conor Benn affair seems almost certain. But does every big fight need a rematch? There are further thoughts on Eubank Jr’s battle with Benn - and the scales - with an update from the BBBoC on those images of Eubank trying to make weight. We look ahead to a bustling weekend featuring Canelo Alvarez, Teofimo Lopez, Naoya Inoue, Devin Haney and the returning Ryan Garcia. In This Week, we rewatch the heavyweight slugfest between Vitali Klitschko and Corrie Sanders. Thanks for listening to the Opening Bell. Ding! Ding! Learn more about your ad choices.

    FOETAL FURY: EUBANK BEATS BENN
    Apr 27 2025
    In the end, we got a terrific contest, one loaded with excitement and bravery. But after a fight like that, can it really be the end? Perhaps it should be for Eubank, who acted his age in more ways than one while containing the youthful abandon of Benn. It threatened to mimic WWE at the start, as the fathers played their role in the circus, but it was a fight we’ll never forget and one that left the winner in hospital. And regardless of all that came before in this long and winding story, perhaps that final plot twist is the most pertinent of them all. Learn more about your ad choices.
