The long-awaited rematch between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn is set to ignite Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight, continuing a family feud that began thirty years ago with their fathers' legendary battles.
Six months after their first explosive encounter in April 2025, which saw Eubank Jr secure a unanimous points victory leaving Benn in tears, the fighters return for another chapter in this bitter rivalry. While Eubank Jr emerged victorious last time, questions remain about how much that draining fight and another difficult weight cut have taken out of the 36-year-old veteran.
Expert Predictions Divided
Boxing legends are split on tonight's outcome. Former cruiserweight and heavyweight champion David Haye believes Eubank Jr will repeat his success. 'I feel Eubank will win this fight on points, if not points a late stoppage,' Haye predicted. 'He has the power to make sure Chris has to stay 100 per cent, any lapse in concentration and he could be in trouble. But if I was putting a bet on it would be for Chris Eubank to get the win again.'
However, former world champion Carl Froch sees a different story unfolding. 'I don't think Chris has it in him again,' Froch stated. 'That was a hard fight first time around, he took a lot of shots, his face was swelled up and he took a lot of weight off. He will come back a lesser fighter and Benn is coming back a more well-rounded fighter despite what happened.'
Fight Details and Streaming Information
The main event is scheduled to begin around 9:40 PM at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, though exact timing depends on undercard results and ringwalk preparations.
For viewers watching from home, the fight is available exclusively on DAZN pay-per-view at a cost of £24.99. Fans can stream all the action live through the DAZN website and mobile app.
The undercard has already begun, featuring several compelling matchups including Sam Gilley versus Ismael Davis for the Commonwealth and vacant British super-welterweight titles.
What's at Stake for Both Fighters
For Conor Benn, tonight represents a crucial opportunity for redemption. Another defeat would be devastating to his career prospects, while victory could set up a potential trilogy fight next year.
George Groves believes Benn will benefit from his previous experience. 'Conor Benn needs to take Chris Eubank Jr out of his comfort zone and make it a dog fight,' Groves analysed. 'I think this time he gets it right. He is not going to have as much nervous energy he had in the first fight. Benn also now has the experience of having shared the ring with the bigger man.'
For Eubank Jr, now 36 and in the latter stages of his career, another victory would solidify his legacy while defeat could signal the beginning of the end for the Brighton fighter.
The judges for tonight's bout have already been appointed, including one official involved in what was described as a 'joke' decision just weeks ago, adding another layer of intrigue to this highly anticipated rematch.
