Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn settle a life-long rivalry when they face one another in the squared-circle on Saturday evening. Despite differing weight classes, the two men have been on a collision course throughout their careers, after their fathers met in the ring in the 1990s.
Chris Eubank Sr defeated Nigel Benn in 1990 to win the WBO Middleweight title through a ninth-round TKO, while Nigel was able to hold his foe to a draw in a 1993 rematch. And now, it is time for the next generation to settle their own score in the world of . Eubank Jr, boasts an incredible record of 34-3 headed into the fight, having clinched world championships at middleweight and super-middleweight.
Benn, meanwhile, enters the ring with a flawless record of 23-0 at welterweight, and will hope that a win over a far more experienced opponent will put him in the picture for a world championship of his own.
Meanwhile a 10lb hydration clause will not allow either man to add excess weight between the weigh-ins and fight night to level the playing field further. Tensions peaked between the two during a face-off in February, which saw before they were pulled apart - adding personal fury to an already highly-competitive sport.
However, Eubank Jr's headliner against Benn isn't the only highly-exciting bout that will land during the event. Anthony Yarde runs it back with Lyndon Arthur for a third time in the co-main, both men holding a victory from their previous two bouts.
Yarde suffered a loss via split-decision to Arthur during their first encounter in December 2020, before getting the better of his foe almost a year to the day later with a fourth-round KO. Elsewhere, 33-4-1 Liam Smith faces Aaron McKenna at light-heavyweight.
Smith has recently endured a pair of bouts with Eubank Jr, winning his first encounter in January 2023 with a fourth-round TKO before suffering a tenth-round TKO in the December. Meanwhile, McKenna holds a perfect 19-0 record headed into the bout, which he will hope to defend against a former world champion.
