The date and venue for the long-anticipated Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn bout have been confirmed by Turki Alalshikh, along with the other fights on the card. Last week, Alalshikh announced that the all-British clash would take place in April in London, and on Thursday he revealed the exact details of the bout, which will take place April 26th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and broadcast live on DAZN. On the undercard are Anthony Yarde taking on Lyndon Arthur, Liam Smith vs. Aaron McKenna, Chris Billam-Smith vs. Brandon Glanton and Viddal Riley facing Cheavon Clarke. Eubank and Benn were originally due to fight in October 2022, following the rivalry of their fathers Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, before the bout was scrapped at short notice due to an adverse test finding [for performance enhancing substances] against Benn on the eve of the encounter. The duo have since maintained hostilities in public and on social media, and they will finally get the chance to settle their differences in the ring.
