Christ Eubank Jr v Conor Benn
Saturday, 22:00
Live on Sky Sports Box Office
Saturday heralds a long-awaited domestic fight that has been years in the making. Just like their fathers did 35 years ago, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will settle their differences at a blockbuster event before a global audience.
Eubank Jr vs Benn has kept the boxing pundits guessing since the date and venue were announced earlier this year after an original contest was postponed. It's a meeting of two exciting young boxers at the peak of their powers, with both men knowing a win on Saturday would secure them more money-spinning nights.
Which gladiator will have their hand raised at the end of the contest scheduled for 12 rounds? Do you expect Brighton's Eubank Jr to secure the bragging rights, or perhaps you prefer the raw power of the destroyer from London?
Date, time and venue
Eubank vs Benn happens on Saturday, 26th April 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. Part of an exciting and competitive card, the opening bell of the feature fight is expected at 22:00 GMT.

Fight night predictions
I expect Saturday's long-awaited showdown to live up to the hype, delivering a bout that's every bit as exciting and entertaining as when Chris Eubank Snr and Nigel Benn faced off more than three decades ago.
Why is Eubank such a strong favourite in the betting? He's more experienced, boasts the better CV of the two, and is a world champion at middleweight. He's the naturally taller and stronger fighter with a noticeably longer reach than his opponent. Those advantages haven't gone unnoticed, attracting the attention of many bettors.
Can Benn upset the odds? It's certainly possible, and the weight will suit him better than his rival, who must boil down and wrestle with rehydration restrictions. Conor boasts a stunning 61% knockout average after stopping half of his last four opponents in the early rounds. That run includes the showreel fourth-round KO of respected American Chris Algieri.
Eubank has the experience, size advantage and better boxing skills. Benn brings the raw power and youth and should be more comfortable at the weight. It's great match-making and a fight that had to happen, but I expect Eubank to live up to expectations and score the win. He'll use his size and skills to impress the judges, bank the early rounds and avoid any late drama as his rival goes hunting for the knockout.
