Chris Eubank Jr vs. Conor Benn is now just days away and the pair are itching to finally settle the score two-and-a-half years after they were originally supposed to fight.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will play host to Ring Magazine's first ever card in association with SNK Games, creators of the video game FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves.

Ahead of the huge bill, we spoke to former WBO junior-lightweight champion Barry Jones and ex-IBF middleweight champion Darren Barker, who will both be working the fight on commentary for DAZN's PPV broadcast.

Both men broke the fight down and highlighted the keys to victory for Eubank Jr and Benn.

I think that it's a closer fight now than it was when it was going to be first made a couple of years ago, most definitely. And going on current form, though they've both been relatively inactive, but roughly around the same, it's hard to pick a winner, because I think they both haven't looked great, certainly in their last performances. But I still favour Chris Eubank Jr. I think the jab's going to be key for him.

I think people forget about his experience. People say all his size, I think reach and height are going to be a massive factor for him, plus the natural weight, but also his jab and the speed of foot. I think that's going to be difficult for Conor Benn, who has fast hands and fast feet, but this is a bit of a step up in levels, I would think, and I think he's going to be able to close the gap quickly.

It's going to be difficult if Eubank's jab is as effective as it's been in the past. So on that, I may give him a big favour. Though I do think Conor has to be thinking this is going to be a six, seven, eight-round fight and really commit to his attacks.

But with that, it's thought with danger, because you overreach, you make mistakes, and Eubank is not a concussive puncher, but he's a sharp puncher, and that can cause plenty of problems. Can Conor Benn push him back and rough him up? I'm not quite sure. He has explosiveness in his punches, enough to hurt you, and as we've seen, certainly with the first Liam Smith fight against Eubank, is that the punches you don't see are the ones that cause the damage.

So he certainly has fast enough hands to do that, but I just still think, even though he rolls into punches quite well, he still fights pretty much in straight lines, and I think because of that, you have to make Chris Eubank Jr a quite sizeable favourite.

Well, I think there's wear and tear in Eubank across the board, and he used to dine out on his chin. I've said a long time before that he's inherited his dad's chin, not his dad's strength or power, I don't think.

I think when he got knocked out, I think it was a little bit to do with trying to mimic Roy Jones' style, whether he said he was Jones or not, but if you look back at it, he's trying to go up and go down on the ropes, but he's looking away from the target.

He did get caught with an elbow, but still, a shot that catches you where there's an elbow on a glove, you don't see it, and then your legs go, and that's what happened.

So up until that point, and even after, he's shown still good resilience, I think, to absorb a shot. Usually they say once there's a crack, it never comes back. I made that up, but it sounds good.

I see this as potentially a fight of two halves. I think the pace that Conor Benn's going to set early is going to be frantic. I think he's just going to be relentless, non-stop. He is diligent in his preparation, does not stop, doesn't take his foot off the gas in the gym, so he's going to be prepared to fire for non-stop 12 rounds.

It's then down to Chris Eubank Jr., how he adapts and how he looks to approach the fight. Does he mix fire with fire, or does he try to use his physical advantages and get those into play? Can he work behind a jab, a jab that we haven't really seen in the past? We saw it in a short period of time he worked with Roy Jones, but he neglects the shot. I do believe, however, if he was to mix fire with fire, I favour Conor in those early periods, because as Barry said, I think there is wear and tear, there are cracks, and there are more miles on the clock.

Yes, experience is on his side, but I don't know. I just feel a hard war, certainly early, would favour Conor, because of the youth and freshness. There's two ways to look at the period that he's had.

I think it's Conor early or Eubank late.

Rodolfo Orozco and Peter Dobson, they're tough guys, they are tough. Orozco was big there, and Conor obviously hadn't filled out into the weight where he has now, and Peter Dobson is a hard case, he's tough.

I remember watching that, I think Conor was boxing well early on, I don't think he boxed bad anyway. It was just Dobson was so f---ing strong and powerful that he struggled, I guess, to get rid of him, that's all it was.

So, I'm telling you now, if anyone hits you with those little gloves on, on paper you could be a non-puncher, and you could still get the job done.

Anyone has an opportunity, and he certainly does. And look, we saw with the Liam Smith fight, I do believe an elbow went in, but he was still hurt and that aura of invincibility with that granite chin that we all thought that he had, has been lifted now, so, yes I think he can hurt Eubank Jr.
