British boxing’s fiercest modern-day rivalry is back on. Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will face off in a highly anticipated rematch on November 15 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the event officially titled “The Ring: Unfinished Business.”
The bout marks the continuation of a bitter generational feud that began with their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, whose iconic battles in the early ‘90s set the stage for this legacy-fuelled grudge match.
🥊 The First Fight Recap
The two first clashed in April, with Eubank Jr taking a narrow points victory in a brutal 12-round war. Despite the result, Benn left the ring convinced he had done enough to win — and he’s been demanding a second shot ever since.
Talks for a September rematch briefly stalled, with Benn exploring other options, but the deal is now complete thanks to promoters Sela and support from Riyadh Season and The Ring Magazine.
⚖️ Weight Drama Still Looms
One of the key talking points from the first fight was Eubank Jr failing to make the middleweight limit, though he did make the rehydration check. That controversy added fuel to an already volatile rivalry. Weight terms for the rematch remain unconfirmed, but are expected to be a crucial part of negotiations.
Eubank was fined £10,000 by the British Boxing Board of Control for social media posts showing him using a sauna to cut weight, which is against BBBoC guidance.
🗣️ Fighter Quotes
Conor Benn, 28, has promised a smarter, more focused approach:
“I’m going to go in there and steam straight into him. Same as the first one — but less emotional, more brains. Lessons learned. This time, I’m handling business.”
Meanwhile, Eubank Jr, 35, remained silent for weeks post-fight after being hospitalised for two days, but now appears ready to shut the door on the rivalry once and for all.
🔥 Legacy on the Line
Their fathers’ rivalry ended 1-1, and this second fight gives both sons a chance to tip the scales and write their own definitive chapter in British boxing history.
Expect fireworks in North London on November 15. For both fighters, it’s more than a rematch — it’s personal.
