Eubank Jr vs Benn: DAZN pundit Carl Frampton previews must-see fight
Eubank Jr vs Benn - Saturday on DAZN PPV - Buy now
DAZN analyst and former two-weight world champion Carl Frampton is holding his prediction for Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn close to his chest until after Friday's weigh-in.
Frampton will be a part of DAZN's broadcast team on Saturday night when Eubank Jr and Benn clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium live on DAZN PPV.
With this contest being contested at middleweight, there is both intrigue and concern. For Benn, he will moving up from welterweight to make this fight a reality, while Eubank Jr will have to make the 160lb limit with both men having to abide by a 10lb rehydration clause after tonight's weigh-in.
This subplot is one that fascinates Frampton and he believes the rehydration clause could give Benn a chance to pull off the biggest win of his boxing career to date.

"I can’t wait for it. I’m excited to be part of it now working for DAZN which means I get to see that fight up close and personal," Frampton told DAZN News in an exclusive interview.
"I’m not going to make one yet, I need to see what Eubank looks like on the scales. I think 160 is hurting him now.
"I just think that as he’s getting older, 160 is really starting to hurt him, for that reason I give Benn a chance, and the rehydration clause, I don’t think that should be a thing."
Fight fans will get one last chance to see Eubank Jr and Benn ahead of the opening bell later today when the pair hit the scales for the weigh-in, and with the general public able to attend, expect plenty of noise in the English capital.
