Benn has long been linked with a fight against Harlem's cousin, Chris Eubank Jr., and after months of drawn out negotiations, there pair were finally set to meet next month in a stadium fight. 

However, those plans collapsed and the two fighters will go their separate ways for the time being with Benn set to face Peter Dobson in Las Vegas on February 3 live on DAZN. 

When asked by ProBox TV about a possible meeting with Harlem Eubank, Benn listed a number of factors as to why he is not interested in facing the rising super lightweight star. 

"I like him [Harlem Eubank], I think he’s a cool guy, he’s got cool swagger, [but] different stages,” Benn said.

“I mean, where I’m at, talking me in with the big names, he just ain’t got that X-factor. He’s an okay fighter, but he’s not on my radar at all. You can’t then just jump on the bandwagon of [Chris] Eubank-Benn because your name is Eubank, but no one knows who you are.

"Imagine having the name of Eubank and no one in boxing really knows who you are, so you’re obviously doing something wrong. You're a good boxer, fair enough, but you’re just not on my radar. I’m so close to closing in on a world title – that’s where I’m at – it’s either Chris Eubank [Jr.] or no one for me.”
