The eagerly awaited rematch between British rivals Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn is set to occur at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in November.
Eubank previously defeated Benn by unanimous decision in an exciting middleweight fight at the same venue in April.
Although there is no title at stake, this matchup between the two fierce competitors, 35 years after their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, first faced off, has attracted significant attention.
Following Eubank’s victory, with all three judges scoring it 116-112 in his favor, fans and promoters expressed a strong desire for a rematch.
A second fight was initially scheduled for September 20, but it was canceled due to concerns about Eubank’s readiness.

Now, Ring Magazine, owned by Turki Alalshikh, has officially announced that the rematch will take place on November 15.
Eddie Hearn, Benn’s promoter and chairman of Matchroom Boxing, also confirmed the date on Instagram.
Eubank and his team have yet to respond to the announcement.
