Eubank Jr. vs. Benn II Set for Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Fight week spotlights strict weight-and-rehydration terms and a revamped Eubank corner after April’s dehydration scare.

Overview

  • The 12-round rematch is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 15, with ring walks around 9:30 p.m. GMT and DAZN pay-per-view carrying the event worldwide.
  • The bout is contracted at 160lbs with a 10lb rehydration cap from Friday’s weigh-in to Saturday morning, mirroring April’s terms when Eubank Jr. missed weight by 0.05lb, was fined £375,000 and later received hospital treatment for dehydration.
  • Eubank Jr. has added Brian “BoMac” McIntyre to his team for the sequel, echoing a previous successful link-up for a past rematch.
  • Promoter Eddie Hearn says he will seek an apology or pursue legal action after Eubank Jr. alleged his post-fight ambulance was delayed following their April contest.
  • The undercard features Jack Catterall vs. Ekow Essuman, Adam Azim vs. Kurt Scoby, Richard Riakporhe vs. Tommy Welch, and other domestic attractions, and Eubank Jr. has announced he is expecting twin boys.
