Eubank Jr vs Benn 2 On for Saturday After Fiery Fathers’ Face‑Off as Both Make Weight

Both made weight under a tight rehydration limit imposed after April’s dehydration scare.

Overview

  • Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will meet in a 12‑round rematch on Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after weighing in at 159.1 lb and 159.3 lb respectively.
  • Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn clashed at the final press conference, with Eubank Sr denying he was paid to attend April’s fight and insisting, “You can’t pay me anything.”
  • The bout retains a 10 lb rehydration cap by Saturday morning, a safeguard added after Eubank Jr missed weight, was fined about £375,000 ($500,000) and was hospitalized for severe dehydration in April.
  • DAZN will broadcast the event on pay‑per‑view in the UK, US and most countries, with UK coverage from 4:45pm and main‑event ring walks expected around 9:35pm; the UK PPV is priced at £24.99.
  • Bookmakers list Eubank Jr as the favourite, and Benn has stated this will be his final fight at middleweight before returning to welterweight to pursue a world title.
