Warning: This podcast contains details some listeners may find distressing. In a wide-ranging interview with Ade Adedoyin, the British boxer Conor Benn discusses being sent to a Christian Fundamentalist School as a child, how he and his father Nigel repaired their relationship and gives his thoughts on rival Chris Eubank Jr. Benn describes the difficulty of being told he was possessed by demons, while at the school and that they prepared for the end of the world. As he prepares to face Eubank Jr for a second time in the ring, Benn thanks his father Nigel, for standing by him throughout everything that has gone on around their two fights. He says he understands what Eubank Jr goes through given their shared history of having famous fathers who boxed.
