The anticipated boxing match between Chris Eubank and Conor Benn is generating buzz not only for the fighters' rivalry but also due to allegations of Eubank's substantial poker debts. Benn accused Eubank of owing Neymar Jr. £4 million, suggesting this financial strain is a motivator for the fight. Eubank, a poker enthusiast, did not directly respond to these claims, choosing instead to attack Benn. The context also includes past controversies over Benn's positive drug test and subsequent clearance from the World Boxing Council.
"Do you know why you need the money? Because you're shit at poker. He owes Neymar four million quid. That's why he's taken this fight."
"When I'm not playing football, I love playing cards," Neymar said in 2021.
