Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn: The Fight We’ve All Been Waiting For
The long-awaited showdown between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn is finally happening! On April 26, 2025, these two British boxing rivals will step into the ring at the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, to settle a legacy-fueled grudge that spans decades.
This isn’t just a fight; it’s a continuation of a rivalry that began in the 1990s with their legendary fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn. Their two epic bouts back then cemented their status in boxing history, and now the sons are ready to write the next chapter.
A Fight Three Years in the Making
The fight was initially slated for October 2022 but was scrapped when Conor Benn failed two drug tests, leading to a controversial two-year suspension. After a drawn-out legal battle, Benn’s suspension was overturned in November 2024, clearing the way for this highly-anticipated matchup.
Since the cancellation, both fighters have been busy rebuilding their careers. Eubank Jr bounced back from a loss to Liam Smith by avenging it in an emphatic rematch in 2023. He also stopped Kamil Szeremeta in 2024, proving he’s still one of Britain’s top middleweights.
Meanwhile, Benn marked his return to the ring after a 525-day hiatus with back-to-back wins over Rodolfo Orozco in September 2023 and Peter Dobson in February 2024. Both men have been sharpening their tools, and now it’s time to settle the score.
The Undercard You Can’t Miss
The April 26 event isn’t just about the headliner. The undercard is packed with exciting matchups that promise to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Some of the key bouts include:
- Anthony Yarde vs. Lyndon Arthur
- Liam Smith vs. Aaron McKenna
- Chris Billam-Smith vs. Brandon Glanton
- Viddal Riley vs. Cheavon Clarke
This lineup guarantees that the entire night will be a spectacle for British boxing fans.
A Fight That’s Bigger Than Boxing
This isn’t just about pride—it’s about legacy. For Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn, this fight is a chance to step out of their fathers’ shadows and solidify their own place in boxing history. With the historic rivalry and years of anticipation, this clash is shaping up to be one of the biggest events in British boxing.
