The highly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn has been officially confirmed for September 20, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, as announced by Riyadh Season supremo Turki Alalshikh. Promoted by Sela, Boxxer, and Matchroom, the middleweight clash will feature a 160-pound weight limit with a 10-pound rehydration clause, mirroring the conditions of their thrilling first encounter, according to The Ring.
The initial fight on April 26, 2025, saw Eubank Jr. edge out Benn via unanimous decision (116-112) in a Fight of the Year contender that packed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with over 60,000 fans. Despite the close contest, with some scoring it 115-113 for Benn due to his ferocious moments, Eubank’s veteran performance secured the victory. The rematch promises to reignite the intense rivalry, which carries the legacy of their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, who fought iconic battles in the 1990s.
Eddie Hearn, Benn’s promoter, noted the event could potentially move to Wembley Stadium to accommodate more fans, given the sold-out success of the first fight. Eubank Jr., coming off a grueling weight cut and hospital stay post-fight, and Benn, eager for revenge after his first professional loss, are set to deliver another electrifying showdown. With the WBC backing the winner for a potential Canelo Alvarez title shot, the stakes are higher than ever.
