Eubank Jr vs Benn 2 Set for Saturday at Tottenham as Rehydration Cap Remains a Flashpoint

The matchup now doubles as a career crossroads, with Chris Eubank Jr rejecting retirement talk and Conor Benn planning a move back to welterweight after the bout.

Overview

  • The rematch takes place Saturday, 15 November at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will stream on DAZN pay-per-view (£24.99 UK / $59.99 US).
  • Eubank Jr, 36, says he will continue fighting and is eyeing bigger bouts next year, dismissing claims this could be his final fight.
  • Benn, 29, calls this his last appearance at 160lbs and says he will return to 147lbs to pursue a welterweight world title next year.
  • The same 160lb limit and 10lb overnight rehydration cap apply, drawing fresh safety scrutiny after Eubank Jr’s hospital stay for severe dehydration following April’s decision win.
  • Final build-up featured a London press conference and split predictions from prominent figures, with notable names backing both fighters for the sequel.
