Two-and-a-half years after they were first scheduled to fight, the British rivals will clash in London.
More than two years after they were first scheduled to fight, Eubank Jr and Benn will meet in a middleweight contest, with Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh confirming the date and venue – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – on Thursday.
In October 2022, Eubank Jr and Benn were due to box each other at London’s O2 Arena, but the bout fell through on late notice after Benn failed two drug tests.
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will officially square off on 26 April, topping a London fight card brimming with British fighters.
Now Benn will move up two divisions – from welterweight to middleweight – to fight Eubank Jr, more than 30 years after their fathers completed their iconic rivalry.
