Chris Eubank Jr will have the advantage over Conor Benn because the fight is being staged at middleweight, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.<\/b><\/p>\n
Benn’s promoter Hearn has managed to get the fighters to come to terms over a bout, which is targeted for 26 April at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/a><\/p>\n The fight will be contested at 11st 6lb (160lb), three pounds heavier than the agreement for their cancelled fight in October 2022.<\/a><\/p>\n “It’s a much better position for Chris Eubank than the first fight from a weight perspective, at his natural weight,” Hearn told BBC NI.<\/p>\n “Conor Benn’s coming up two divisions and looking to take his head off.”<\/p>\n Benn usually fights at welterweight, which has an upper limit of 10st 7lb (147lb).<\/p>\n There is also a hydration clause that will restrict either man from weighing more than 170lb on fight night, but Hearn was coy on the subject, saying the restriction was not “unreasonable”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
