The highly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn is officially on. Promoters have confirmed that the two British rivals will square off once again on September 20 in London, reigniting one of the most heated feuds in recent UK boxing history.

Their first scheduled bout in 2022 was famously canceled due to Benn’s failed drug test, but tensions have only escalated since. Now, with both fighters cleared and eager to settle the score, this rematch promises fireworks, legacy implications, and massive fan interest.

More details on the venue, undercard, and broadcast partners are expected to follow shortly.

“Obviously, it was sold out and this fight’s even bigger, so you could possibly look at Wembley to increase the capacity, but that will be a decision for His Excellency and Ring Magazine to make the final call.”

End of the Eubank vs Benn chapter

Chris Eubank Jr. delivered a sharp, composed performance. Using his experience, jab, and movement to frustrate the younger, more aggressive Benn. While Benn pushed forward with power and intensity in the early rounds. Eubank remained patient, picking his shots and gradually taking over the fight.By the championship rounds, Eubank’s conditioning and timing were on full display, as he landed clean counters and avoided much of Benn’s offense. The fight went the distance, and the judges awarded Eubank.

This fight figures to be bigger than the first fight and can truly close out an era that goes back to their father’s rivalry in the ring. Even though things got testy between the two. It seems that they don’t carry the same hatred that their father’s did towards each other.
