BOXING fans are outraged after the PPV price for Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn was announced.
The Brits are set to face off at the O2 Arena on October 8.
Fans are angry at the PPV price for Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn
Benn has gained around 10lbs ahead of the fight
And fans watching at home can tune in for a price of £19.99 on DAZN UK.
That has sparked backlash with DAZN coming under fire for charging extra as fans already pay a subscription fee to access their platform.
One boxing fan said: “So Canelo [Alvarez] who is probably the biggest boxing name has his PPV priced at £10
but Benn v Eubank is £20.”
Another added in agreement: “What do I pay my subscription for? To watch some cr***y sports documentaries??
“Because I ain’t seen any decent boxing on there. Canelo v GGG had to pay on top, AJ v Usyk had to pay on top. Now this!! I’m out cancelling the subscription!
And a third said: “Overpriced with a terrible undercard, just cancelled my DAZN subscription as it’s a complete waist of money.”
Others have pointed out the fact Eubank v Benn is not a title and fight and could be a mismatch given the usual weight difference between the two fighters.
Benn usually fights at 147lbs in the past and has gained 10lbs for this bout, while Eubank has shed 3lbs off his standard fighting weight.

His father Chris Eubank Sr expressed concern for his son given his weight loss and rules about rehydration.
Eubank Sr said: “This fight should not be allowed to happen, it is dangerous.
“I have given my advice and I will continue giving it because I know how dangerous weight cutting is.
“This is modern day ‘gladiating’, this is not a play thing for the audience.
“We have to be strict otherwise lives are put in danger and my son’s life cannot be put in danger. I’ve already lost one. It can’t happen again.”
Eubank Jr has not shown the same worry and instead trolled Benn with his eating habits this week, devouring dessert and a piece of birthday cake when he should be losing weight.
Benn has also ridiculed his opponent, accusing Eubank Jr of having daddy issues.

Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches require more strength than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. One combination can have many parts. A combination may include multiple parts. For example, damage to the jaw of an opponent can be caused by a left hook and a right cross.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. 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. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. Then, they touch the attacker’s hand.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. There are many stances available to boxers. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Spare parts
Sparring is a training session that improves 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.
