Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn match officially announced at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26 | Boxing news
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will settle their heated feud at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, April 26.
The British rivals have finally agreed terms for their much-anticipated showdown, with Turki Alalshikh revealing the match will headline one of Riyadh’s season-long events in north London.
Eubank Jr and Benn – the sons of arch-rivals Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn – were originally meant to face each other in October 2022, only for the latter to fail two drugs tests.

Benn’s license was revoked by the British Boxing Board of Control, but the suspensions were lifted last November after the National Anti-Doping Commission said it was “not comfortably satisfied” that the 28-year-old had committed a doping offence.
Since the bout that was canceled two years ago, Eubank Jr lost to Liam Smith, but earned a rematch in 2023 and fought just once in 2024, a win over Kamil Szeremeta.
