Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will finally throw down in one of the most anticipated fights in British boxing on Saturday.
The rivals will clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, more than three decades after their fathers Chris Sr and Nigel Benn settled their own bitter grudge, and two-and-a-half years after Eubank Jr vs Benn was initially due to take place.
In October 2022, the fight fell apart on short notice upon the revelation that Benn had returned two adverse drug-test findings, leading him to be banned from boxing in Britain until recently. When the 28-year-old was finally cleared, his match-up with Eubank Jr, 35, was quickly rebooked.
The build has been heated to say the least, with a press conference in February ending in chaos, as Eubank Jr slapped Benn in the face with an egg. Another press conference, two days later, saw Eubank Jr threaten Nigel Benn, who put his hands around the younger man’s neck in the week’s earlier chaos.
The bad blood between the bruisers has led to the bout accruing vast mainstream attention, with the 62,000-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium expected to welcome a sold-out crowd on 26 April.
Here’s how much each fighter will pocket from the fight.
