Eubank Jr vs Benn 2: Both Make Weight for London Rematch on Saturday

Strict weight rules underline a sequel framed by renewed family drama, with fighter welfare under scrutiny.

Overview

  • Official weigh-in: Conor Benn scaled 159.3 lb and Chris Eubank Jr came in at 159.1 lb for the 160 lb limit.
  • The contract again enforces a 10 lb rehydration cap by Saturday morning, a safeguard after Eubank Jr’s post-fight dehydration and hospital stay in April.
  • The fathers reignited their rivalry at the final press conference, as Chris Eubank Sr denied claims he was paid to attend April’s bout.
  • The event streams on DAZN pay-per-view worldwide, priced at £24.99 in the UK and $59.99 in the US, with a confirmed undercard including Jack CatterallEkow Essuman and Richard Riakporhe–Tommy Welch.
  • Bookmakers list Eubank Jr as the favorite, though pundits are split, and Benn says this will be his final outing at 160 lb before returning to welterweight to chase a world title.
