Fans baffled as ‘Ed Sheeran’ enters boxing ring before fight’s over and ‘Hannibal Lecter’ watches at Eubank Jr vs Benn
ED SHEERAN, Hannibal Lecter and David Beckham were all seen entering the boxing ring ahead of Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn – but all is not as it would seem.
The Tottenham Hotspur stadium is playing host to the generational battle tonight.
But during the undercard fight where Chris Billam-Smith beat Brandon Glantona, a number of lookalikes were seen coming out between the rounds.
These included one of singer Ed Sheeran, one of horror screen villain Hannibal and another of David Beckham.
The appearance of the surprise guests, particularly the first two, stunned fans.
One reacted on social media saying: “Is that Ed Sheeran holding up ring cards between the rounds? We use to be a real sport.”
A second fan said: “Am I bugging or was that Ed Sheeran.”
A third added: “Always expected the unexpected, like Ed Sheeran being the ring girl and Anthony Hopkins in his Hannibal Lecter outfit.”
Another said: “Just watched Ed Sheeran doing the ring girls job and then handing the card with the round number on it to Hannibal Lecter, what is going on?”
However, fans were less impressed with the lookalike of Manchester United and England legend Becks, with one saying: “That David Beckham looks nothing alike.”
