Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will settle their bitter feud at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday April 26.
The British rivals finally agreed terms for their long-awaited showdown, with Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s general entertainment authority, revealing the bout will headline a stacked Riyadh Season event in north London.
Eubank Jr and Benn – the sons of great rivals Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn – were originally meant to face each other in October 2022, only for the latter to fail two drug tests.
Benn’s two-year battle to clear his name saw his suspension lifted in November.
Since the cancelled fight over two years ago, Eubank Jr lost to Liam Smith but won the rematch in 2023 and only fought once in 2024, with a stoppage victory over Kamil Szeremeta.
Benn spent 525 days out of the ring before boxing in America, beating Mexican Rodolfo Orozco in September 2023 in Florida, then Peter Dobson in Las Vegas last February. He took both of those wins by unanimous decision.
