Overview

• The fight, scheduled for April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, follows a two-year delay due to Benn's 2022 failed drug tests and subsequent suspension, which was lifted in late 2024.
• Both fighters must adhere to a strict 160 lb weight limit and a 10 lb rehydration clause, with a £1 million penalty for non-compliance.
• Eubank Jr, reflecting on personal grief over his brother's death and estrangement from his father, dismissed the weight and rehydration challenges as minor compared to his life struggles.
• Benn, moving up two weight divisions to middleweight, aims to redeem his reputation after being cleared to box again following his doping controversy.
• The fight revives the iconic rivalry between their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, whose clashes in the 1990s remain legendary in British boxing.
