The eagerly awaited rematch between British boxing rivals Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn is scheduled for November 15 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The pair initially faced off in April in a thrilling middleweight showdown at the same venue, where Eubank Jr secured a unanimous decision victory, with all three judges scoring it 116-112 in his favour.

Despite there being no title on the line, the bout attracted significant attention, with many fans eager to see a sequel to the bitter rivalry that began with their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, who first clashed 35 years ago.

Although the two boxers had agreed on a rematch for 20 September, the bout fell through due to concerns over Eubank’s readiness.

However, organisers from Ring Magazine, led by Turki Alalshikh, have now confirmed the new date in November.

Eddie Hearn, promoter for Benn, also posted the news on social media, while Eubank’s camp has yet to make a public statement on the rescheduled bout.

In a twist to the saga, the proposed rematch had been called off in July after Team Benn expressed concerns over Eubank’s reluctance to fight.

However, the rematch was resurrected after Alalshikh intervened, setting the stage for the new November date.

While the first encounter between Eubank and Benn was filled with drama and intrigue, with both fighters pushing to the limit, it remains to be seen whether the rematch can capture the same magic.

Eubank, who had a draining weight cut in their first fight, has since proven his ability to meet the weight demands, but the question remains whether the second bout can replicate the excitement of the first.

Boxing enthusiasts will no doubt be watching closely to see if this new chapter in the Eubank-Benn rivalry can live up to the high expectations set by their first meeting.
