Former two-division titleholder Nigel Benn claims his son made IBF super middleweight titlist William Scull quit in a sparring session in Majorca, Spain.

Benn was getting ready to face Chris Eubank Jr., on Saturday, while Scull is facing Canelo Alvarez a week later for The Ring/ undisputed super middleweight titles.

However, Scull's promoter, Ingo Volckmann, of AGON Sports refutes that boastful claim from Benn senior and feels some context is important.

"It was William's first sparring session and 8 rounds of 3 minutes each with a one-minute break were agreed in advance," Volckmann told The Ring. "What Nigel Benn has now told is simply not true.

"It was no surprise that William was on the ropes - he always does that, even in fights.

"I find it unsportsmanlike that people are now trying to talk about William and his opening sparring against Conor Benn. Actually, the saying goes: What happens in sparring stays in sparring - right?

"If Conor wants to, he's welcome to do the same next time, our door is open."

Eubank vs. Benn will be carried by DAZN PPV.
