Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn Set for Highly Anticipated Fight on April 26
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will step into the ring on April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, rescheduling their long-awaited bout after a previous cancellation. The match is expected to reignite the famous rivalry between their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, who clashed for world titles in thrilling bouts during the early ’90s.
This showdown follows a turbulent past for the two fighters. Their original fight was set for 2022 but was called off just days before due to Benn’s failed drug test results. More than two years later, Benn has cleared his name, with the National Anti-Doping Panel lifting his suspension and deeming there was insufficient evidence of wrongdoing.
As excitement builds for the clash, Eubank Jr has emerged victorious in his recent bout against Liam Smith, marking a successful comeback after his only fight last year. Benn, meanwhile, is stepping up two weight divisions for this encounter, aiming to make a significant impact on his return to British soil.
Tensions have flared between the two traditional rivals, with several altercations leading up to the fight. In a recent press event, Eubank Jr symbolically struck Benn with an egg, drawing headlines and resulting in a £100,000 fine from the British Boxing Board of Control.
The undercard promises to deliver more action, featuring a trilogy fight between Anthony Yarde and Lyndon Arthur, as well as appearances from other notable fighters. Yarde seeks redemption after a previous loss to Arthur, whose first bout ended in his favor.
Fans can expect an electrifying night of boxing on April 26, as Chris Eubank Jr faces Conor Benn in a highly anticipated rematch. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness this historic event.
