Eubank JrBenn II Set for Saturday at Tottenham as Rehydration Clause Returns to Spotlight

Fresh concerns over weight-cut safety follow Eubank Jr’s post-fight hospital stay in April.

Overview

  • The rematch takes place on Saturday, 15 November at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on DAZN pay-per-view, with ringwalks pencilled for around 21:35–22:00 GMT.
  • Their first meeting in April ended in a unanimous decision for Eubank Jr (three scores of 116-112), with punch stats showing 367 landed for Eubank Jr to 215 for Benn.
  • The bout is contracted at the 160lb middleweight limit with a 10lb overnight cap before Saturday morning, replicating the original rehydration clause confirmed by the BBBoC general secretary.
  • Eubank Jr says his relationship with his father is improving but not fully repaired, with Chris Eubank Sr expected at ringside and not involved in training or tactics.
  • Debate over the first fight’s scoring persists, with Oleksandr Usyk and promoter Eddie Hearn expressing views favoring Benn, as Hearn also predicts this could be Eubank Jr’s final fight.
