Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn will step into the ring again, with their middleweight rematch scheduled for September 20 in London. This fight comes after a real fight drama they had on April 26, which left a strong impression on boxing fans.
The first fight was a big event, especially at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where tickets sold out quickly, despite skeptics who doubted the quality of the fight. However, Eubank and Benn showed why they deserve attention, delivering twelve action-packed rounds and proving that they are not just names with famous fathers. After that fight, their reputation among real boxing fans has grown significantly.
The rematch is expected to be even more watched and profitable as both men showed in their first appearances that they are worth every penny invested. Before the first fight, many doubted its significance and potential, but now it is clear that the desire of the audience is growing, as they want to see this rivalry continue.
How it all started and what awaits us
Eubank, an experienced 35-year-old with a record of 35 wins and three losses, celebrated then with a close but well-deserved decision by the judges. Benn, a younger and tougher 28-year-old, came out of the ring confident that he could reverse the loss and perhaps even open the way for a trilogy that would attract even more attention.
After the first fight, Benn mentioned the option of a rematch or return to the welterweight division, where he could fight WBC champion Mario Barrios. However, with Barrios scheduled to face the legendary Manny Pacquiao on July 19, a rematch with Eubank was a more logical and profitable choice. Both fighters quickly realized that this fight brought them the best chance.
The rematch will take place just seven days after the big match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, so we're in for two exciting weeks in a row.
The spectacle will most likely be at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium again, although there is a possibility that it will be moved to Wembley. Tottenham play a Premier League match against Brighton on the same day, so the stadium is free for this important event.
