Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will finally square off this weekend, as they look to settle their grudge at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The fight between the British rivals is due to play out two-and-a-half years after they were first due to clash, and more than 30 years after their fathers Chris Sr and Nigel Benn rounded out their own in-ring rivalry.
Benn will move up two weights to face Eubank Jr at middleweight, aiming to stay unbeaten as he does so. The main-event contest comes after the match-up collapsed in 2022, when it was revealed that Benn had returned two adverse drug-test results.
The 28-year-old was subsequently banned from boxing in Britain until recently, and now that he has been cleared, he and 35-year-old Eubank Jr will meet in one of the country’s biggest fights this generation.
Here’s all you need to know.
When is the fight?
Eubank Jr vs Benn is scheduled for Saturday 26 April at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The main card will start at 5pm BST, with main-event ring walks expected at around 10.30pm BST.
