They are also very alike in height with just one inch separating the younger from the elder Eubank.

Perhaps most surprisingly, like father like son, they have both secured 23 knockout wins each.

Eubank Jr has done this in far fewer fights and will be aiming to overtake his dad’s record versus Benn.

But if his father had has way then Benn and his son would not be stepping into the ring at all on Saturday night.

Eubank Snr has called for the fight to be scrapped voicing concerns over his son having to weigh in at a career-low.

He said: “You know what three pounds beneath the middleweight limit at 33-years-old can do. This is how brain injuries occur.”

Guard Techniques

To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.

Legs

A boxer must use his legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using his foot.

Elbows

Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.

Hands

Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. They then touch the attackers fist.

Knees

To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.

Feet

A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.

Stances

A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. His stance determines how he defends himself. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. Boxers have many options for stances. These are some of our most favorite:

Combinations

The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.

Sparring

Sparring is a practice session designed to improve boxing skills . During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
