Watch 50 Cent soundtrack Chris Eubank Jr’s ring walk at Conor Benn fight

50 Cent surprised fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last night by walking Chris Eubank Jr to the ring ahead of his Conor Benn fight – check out footage of the moment below.

Saturday night (November 15) saw Eubank Jr and Benn’s highly anticipated rematch aired around the world, with Eubank Jr looking to get two fights over Benn after he won a unanimous decision at their first encounter back in April.

Ahead of the bout, 50 Cent flanked Eubank Jr. to walk him to the ring while Dr. Dre‘s ‘Still D.R.E.’ played.

The rapper then launched into ‘Many Men’ before switching up to ‘I’ll Whip Ya Head Boy’, with the crowd in London cheering at the sight of the surprise guest and singing along as they emerged from the tunnel together.

Other famous faces in attendance included Guy Ritchie, Rod Stewart, the Spice Girls‘ Emma Bunton and Jason Statham.

Ultimately, Eubank was beaten unanimously by Benn, with all three judges scoring the fight overwhelmingly in his favour.

Many fans later took to Twitter to poke fun at 50’s hand in the evening. “All that just to get dominated by a way smaller fighter,” wrote one, with another adding: “At this point, 50 Cent is bad luck for boxers…Everyone that he walks out with has lost.”

Back in 2012, it was speculated that 50 Cent had signed on to promote Floyd Mayweather after he obtained a licence to promote fights through his company TMT Promotions. The acronym stood for The Money Team, a nickname used by the entourage of the world champion boxer.

At the time, Mayweather’s business associate Leonard Ellerbe wouldn’t confirm the rapper was the boxer’s new promoter but said they were working together. “I think that Floyd and 50 coming together is great for boxing,” he said.

“You have two smart guys, and when great minds work together, you can have nothing but great results.”

Almost a decade later, their long-standing beef saw 50 Cent say he’d be open to fighting Mayweather in 2021.

The pair used to be friends but fell out when Mayweather refused to give the musician half of his company, according to the former boxer. Since their feud began, 50 Cent has thrown down several challenges to Mayweather, including asking him to “read one full page of a Harry Potter book” in return for a $750,000 (£547k) donation to charity.

50 Cent later said Jimmy Kimmel was willing to put Mayweather reading on his show. “We don’t wanna put pressure on you,” he told the boxer. “We know you can’t pronounce those words in a Harry Potter book so we’re gonna let you read Cat In The Hat.”
