Chris Eubank Jr. <\/a>didn\u2019t threaten to pull out of his highly anticipated rematch with Conor Benn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s Eubank did, however, make it clear during his appearance on \u201cInside The Ring\u201d on Monday that he is unhappy with certain terms in his contract for their second fight. Eubank (35-3, 23 KOs) and Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) are scheduled to box again November 15 in the main event of The Ring\u2019s \u201cUnfinished Business\u201d card at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.<\/p>\n

Eubank beat Benn by unanimous decision April 26<\/a> in a 12-round middleweight match at the same venue.<\/p>\n

Eubank, 36, and Benn, 29, signed contracts for two fights. Part of that two-bout agreement was a rehydration clause that prohibits either fighter from weighing more than 170 pounds, 10 above the contracted limit, at second-day weigh-ins the mornings of their fights.<\/p>\n

The 5-foot-11 Eubank, who has competed as high as the super middleweight maximum of 168 pounds, weighed exactly 160 on April 25. The 5-8 Benn, who had never boxed above the junior middleweight limit of 154, came in at 156.<\/p>\n

Eubank expressed his discontent with the rehydration cap both before and after their first fight. Ben Shalom, Eubank\u2019s promoter, has repeatedly deemed rehydration clauses unsafe and called for such restrictions to be eliminated from boxing.<\/p>\n

Though he brought up the topic, Eubank wouldn\u2019t specify to \u201cInside The Ring\u201d co-hosts Max Kellerman and Mike Coppinger which contractual terms haven\u2019t satisfied him as their rematch nears.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are not easy waters to navigate,\u201d Eubank said. \u201cYou know, the final contract for this fight hasn\u2019t actually even been fully agreed on. So, you know, there\u2019s still a few things that we\u2019re gonna try and smooth out and make right.\u201d<\/p>\n

The elusive Eubank declined to elaborate when Kellerman asked for a clearer explanation.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, we agreed for a second fight before the first fight,\u201d Eubank said. \u201cBut there are certain parts of the contract that are still up for negotiation. I\u2019m not gonna go into what parts of those contracts they are, but we are in negotiations for certain things. So, it\u2019s up to me and my team to get the best deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
