It’s all going down this Saturday right at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, UK! This rematch comes after their first encounter on 26 April 2025, which saw Eubank Jr claim victory via unanimous points decision. But the upcoming fight represents Benn’s opportunity to make amends for that previous defeat. It certainly provides each combatant an opportunity to further engrave their respective names in the annals of boxing history.
It’s hard to overstate the significance of the rematch. It will indeed happen, but under stringent conditions, including a catchweight of 160 lbs (72.5 kg) with a rehydration clause. Both fighters will need to closely monitor their weight leading up to the event, ensuring they comply with the stipulations set forth for this showdown.
Profiles of the Fighters
Chris Eubank Jr, from Hove, a beach resort in southern England, has fought professionally since 2011.

Jaw-dropping Conor Benn has been making jaws drop ever since he turned professional in 2016. He is the son of immigrants and grew up in the East London suburb of Ilford. He is the son of former two-weight champion Nigel Benn, a British boxing icon during the 1990s. Of course, Benn’s meteoric rise in the boxing world has caused quite a lot of stir. In 2022, he came under fire after testing positive for banned substances. This rematch offers a big opportunity for him to prove his mettle and exceed what he’s been able to achieve previously.
The Stakes of the Rematch
