Following their thrilling April fight, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn are confirmed to face off again in London this September, with the venue to be announced. The rematch comes after intense public interest and a two-fight contract that prioritises their rivalry.
Chris Eubank Jr is confirmed to face fellow Briton Conor Benn in a highly anticipated rematch scheduled for 20 September in London, though the exact venue is yet to be announced. This second bout follows an intense and thrilling encounter earlier this year, where Eubank Jr secured a unanimous decision victory over Benn at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April. That initial fight marked the culmination of a long-standing rivalry and drew significant public attention, highlighting the strong interest in a rematch.
The demand from fans for another showdown between these two fighters appears robust, a sentiment echoed by Eubank Jr himself. He has indicated that if the fans want the rematch, he is more than willing to oblige, underscoring the bout’s commercial and sporting appeal. Meanwhile, Benn is equally eager for the second fight and has been eyeing a date towards the end of September, with sources suggesting 27 September as a possible alternative. Benn’s promoter has confirmed that a two-fight contract is in place, signalling that the rematch is a priority for both boxers and their teams.
Beyond this rivalry, Eubank Jr has expressed openness to other high-profile bouts, including a potential fight against the renowned Mexican boxer Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. He described the possibilities for his next steps as “endless,” reflecting his ambition to elevate his career further. Nevertheless, the rematch with Benn remains a key focus, given the strong narrative and public interest surrounding their encounters.
This rivalry has a complex backdrop, as their initial bout was delayed due to Benn’s suspension following a failed drug test in 2022. The suspension was later lifted, allowing the original fight to take place earlier this year and setting the stage for what promises to be an equally competitive rematch in September.
