Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn are set to reignite their family rivalry on November 15 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a blockbuster middleweight rematch.

British boxing’s generational rivalry is back. Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn will meet again on November 15 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the same site of their thrilling clash in April and where their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, once etched their own rivalry into boxing history.
Eubank Jr. emerged victorious by unanimous decision in their first encounter, earlier this year. But Benn, fighting two divisions above his natural weight, shocked many with his grit. What was expected to be a one-sided affair turned into a 12-round war, with both men landing heavy shots and refusing to back down.
Here’s your reminder of what the first Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn fight looked like.

Now, the rematch is official, branded as “Unfinished Business.” Backed by Riyadh Season and promoted by Sela, a Saudi PIF-backed company, the event also has support from Ring Magazine, owned by Saudi advisor Turki Alalshikh.
The rematch was initially targeted for September 20, but Eubank requested more time to prepare. Benn, ever eager, voiced no issue with the original date but now has more time to regroup and reload.
Eubank (35-3, 25 KOs) had been exploring other options, including a rumored shot at Canelo Alvarez next year. But with Alvarez now projected to face Hamzah Sheeraz in early 2026, a second fight with Benn is the most lucrative and high-profile option on the table.
‼️ The Ring has learned Sela completed the deal for the highly anticipated Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn rematch on November 15 in Tottenham Stadium. The event will be presented as ‘The Ring: Unfinished Business’.

Benn (23-1, 14 KOs), despite the loss, gained legitimacy by hanging tough at middleweight and pushing Eubank the full distance. He silenced doubts about his size and skill, and now gets a chance at redemption.
