Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn are set to settle their bitter feud at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday April 26.
The British rivals have finally agreed terms for the long-awaited showdown, with Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s multi-entertainment agency, revealing the showdown will headline Riyadh’s season event in north London.
Eubank Jr and Benn, the sons of great rivals Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn, were originally scheduled to face off in October 2022, but the latter failed two drugs tests.
Benn’s suspension was lifted in November after a two-year fight to clear his name.
Since the fight was canceled two years ago, Eubank Jr has lost to Liam Smith but won a rematch in 2023 and has only fought once in 2024, picking up a stoppage win over Kamil Szeremeta.
Benn spent 525 days outside the ring before boxing in the United States, beating Mexican Rodolfo Orozco in Florida in September 2023 and Peter Dobson in Las Vegas last February. He earned both of his wins by unanimous decision.
