EVENT PREVIEW
A generational boxing clash of the ages is finally ready to rumble once again as Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr collide at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 26 April.
Benn v Eubank tickets are a gateway to Chapter 3 of a sweet science saga that started in the mid-1980s. A simmering rivalry between Nigel “The Dark Destroyer” Benn and Chris “Simply the Best” Eubank exploded into action when the two met in the ring for the first time on a November night at the NEC Birmingham in 1990. A seismic encounter ended in the 9th round when referee Richard Steele stopped the fight with Eubank victorious.
The second fight, on 9 October 1993, was even bigger. Veteran commentator Reg Gutteridge famously claiming “the ego has landed” as Eubank executed his by now famous vault into the ring at Old Trafford. 42,000 were present, while 18 million watched the action unfold on TV. On that occasion the fighters could not be separated, the bout ending in a split-decision draw. A third Benn v Eubank fight never happened; until now …
SONS OF THE FATHERS
The ‘sons of the fathers’ were due to meet in October 2022 in a showdown dubbed “Born Rivals”. The contest was called off at the last-minute after it was revealed Benn had failed a drugs test – he subsequently received a provisional suspension which was lifted last October. Finally, on Saturday 26 April, as the lights dim at around 10pm at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in one corner will be Conor Benn, son of Nigel. Diagonally across the ring will be Chris Eubank Jr, son of Sr. The fight will take place at middleweight and family honour of stratospheric proportions will be on the line. Cue the weight of sporting history pushing down on the fighter’s shoulders ahead of the opening bell. And then the blue boxing touchpaper will be lit.
THE FIGHTERS
Benn, at 28 years old on fight night some 7 years younger than Eubank, has a perfect professional record of 23 wins with 14 coming by way of knockout. A career welterweight, back in 2022 Benn had seen off highly-ranked opposition in the form of Chris van Heerdon and Chris Algieri to suggest he is ready to push for world honours. But the jury is out on whether he is ready to make the step up against the naturally bigger Eubank.
The more experienced Eubank Jr has a record of 34 wins from his 37 fights. Eubank’s defeats have come against world-class fighters. Firstly, against Billy Joe Saunders in 2014 and then when challenging George Groves for the WBA super-middleweight world title in 2018. Eubank suffered a third loss, against former super-welterweight world champion Liam Smith in 2023, which he subsequently avenged.. A seasoned fighter who has fought at a higher level than Benn, Eubank has yet to truly deliver on the biggest of stadium stages. Could tonight be the night?
Strap yourselves in for the latest chapter in one of the biggest rivalries ever to grace the UK sporting stage. And may the best man win.
UNDERCARD
In addition to the Benn v Eubank Jr main event, the undercard will feature Anthony Yarde against Lyndon Arthur in a light-heavyweight showdown. They meet for the third time in another all-British showdown having each won one of their previous meetings.
Liam Smith, the former WBO light-middleweight world champion, takes on unbeaten 19-0 Irish prospect Aaron McKenna.
Chris Billam-Smith is back in action for the first time since losing his WBO cruiserweight title against Mexico’s Gilberto Ramirez. Billam-Smith will fight American Brandon Glanton.
Tokyo Olympian and British cruiserweight champion Cheavon Clarke will face Viddal Riley after the latter saw his proposed fight with Isaac Chamberlain in February postponed.
