Overview
- DAZN will carry the event on pay-per-view worldwide (£24.99 UK / $59.99 US), with main-event ring walks expected around 9:35 p.m. GMT.
- Terence Crawford’s trainer Brian “BoMac” McIntyre is assisting Chris Eubank Jr, and Chris Eubank Sr is expected in the corner as father and son continue repairing their relationship.
- The bout is contracted at middleweight with a next-morning rehydration check; Eubank Jr was fined £375,000 for a 0.05lb miss in April and later received hospital treatment for dehydration.
- Conor Benn says he will be more disciplined and less emotional this time and plans a return to welterweight afterward, while Eubank Jr has publicly eyed a Canelo Alvarez fight if he wins.
- Eubank Jr announced he is expecting twin boys this week, and the undercard features Jack Catterall vs Ekow Essuman, Richard Riakporhe vs Tommy Welch, Sam Gilley vs Ishmael Davis, Mikie Tallon vs Fezan Shahid, with Adam Azim also on the bill.
