Eubank-Benn rematch announced for November

In November, Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn will square off in a much-anticipated rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In a thrilling middleweight match held there in April, Eubank defeated Benn by unanimous decision.

The bitter rivals’ fight 35 years after their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, first fought, attracted a lot of attention despite the lack of a title.

A rematch was also desired by fans and promoted by promoters after Eubank was declared the winner on all three judges’ scorecards, which was placed at 116-112.

Due to concerns that Eubank wouldn’t be ready, a second fight had been scheduled for September 20.

The rematch will take place on November 15th, according to Ring Magazine, which Turki Alalshikh owns.

Eddie Hearn, Matchroom Boxing’s chairman and promoter, also shared the same day on Instagram.

Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr.’s rivalry was revealed at the end of June on September 20th.

However, by July 17 Team Benn was concerned that Eubank wasn’t interested in fighting. Eddie Hearn, Benn’s promoter, declared the rematch “dead” three days later.

The fight is now back on for the 15 November deadline, less than a month away.

Turki Alalshikh, who had the initial idea for the September bout completely off guard, was the driving force behind the announcement of a new date.

Eubank has not made any public comments on that announcement as of yet. Perhaps the fact that he didn’t want that date or wanted to revisit the terms of the initial fight, which included a fight-day rehydration clause, helped him in June.

Their initial confrontation was similar to a bottle-in-a-bottle lightning strike. A carefully planned event that didn’t actually have any business going on. Additionally, it was entertaining to watch.

Can organizers reclaim the same power? We are aware that Eubank can provide the weight. Chris Eubank Jr.’s incredible arrival on fight night was in the WWE style. For a comfortable points win, we watched a weight-drained Eubank fend off the smaller Benn.
