Chris Eubank vs Conor Benn rematch confirmed as date set for London bout

Chris Eubank Jr’s hotly-anticipated rematch with Conor Benn has been confirmed.

Born-rivals Eubank Jr and Benn threw down on April 26 in a firefight at a sold-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Eubank Jr edging out victory on the night via unanimous decision.

A rematch was expected and has now a date has been set, with the pair set to share the ring once again on September 20.

The bout will take place in London once again, however a venue has yet to be confirmed for Eubank Jr-Benn 2.

A revisit to Spurs’ home ground is reported to be the most likely outcome, but promoters could choose to go a step further and hold the event at Wembley, which holds a capacity of over 90,000 – a third more than Spurs’ allocation.
