Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will settle their feud at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, April 26.
The English rivals have finally agreed on their long-awaited showdown, with Turki Sheikh making the clash headline the season bill in Riyadh.
Eubank Jr. and Benn – the sons of great rivals Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn – were originally scheduled to face off in October 2022, but the latter failed two drug tests.

Boxxer promoter Ben Shalom gives a closer look at Chris Eubank Jr’s match against Conor Benn ahead of this year’s event
Benn’s license was suspended by the British Boxing Board of Control but the ban was lifted last November after the national anti-doping panel said it was “not satisfied” that the 28-year-old had committed a doping offence.
Since the fight was canceled two years ago, Eubank Jr. has lost to Liam Smith but won a rematch in 2023 and has fought just once in 2024, a stoppage win over Camille Se Remeta.
