Chris Eubank Sr says he is almost ready to start negotiating broadcasting rights for a third fight with Nigel Benn.
Benn, 52, last month gave 49-year-old Eubank a deadline of "two or three months" to decide if he wants to reverse an 18-year retirement and renew a rivalry which illuminated elite-level boxing in the early 1990s.
