Chris Eubank Jr will fight fellow Briton Conor Benn in a rematch in London on 20 September.<\/b><\/p>\n
Eubank beat Benn by unanimous decision<\/a> after a thrilling bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April, though the venue for their second meeting has yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n “Spurs is contracted – it’s a fantastic stadium and it worked extremely well the first time,” Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn earn told Ring magazine.<\/p>\n “Obviously, it was sold out and this fight’s even bigger, so you could possibly look at Wembley to increase the capacity.”<\/p>\n The April fight took place 35 years after their legendary fathers – Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn – first fought, and garnered huge attention despite no title being on the line.<\/p>\n All three judges scored it 116-112 in favour of Eubank, who extended his record to 35 wins in 38 fights.<\/p>\n “Experience gained, lessons learned,” said Benn in a post on social media after September’s fight was confirmed.<\/p>\n There had been a controversial and at times chaotic build-up to their first fight, fuelled by the intense rivalry between their fathers.<\/p>\n The pair were scheduled to face each other in 2022 but the fight was cancelled because Benn failed a drugs test.<\/p>\n Benn denied intentional doping and was cleared to fight<\/a> by anti-doping authorities two years later.<\/p>\n But at an extraordinary media conference in February, Eubank slapped Benn across the face with an egg<\/a> during a head-to-head, with the pair exchanging foul-mouthed insults throughout.<\/p>\n The stunt was an apparent reference to an independent report that said the failed drugs test could have been caused by a “highly elevated consumption” of eggs. Eubank was fined \u00a3100,000 for the slap.<\/p>\n The day before the fight, Eubank was fined \u00a3375,000<\/a> for missing weight at the first weigh-in.<\/p>\n Eubank is the bigger of the two men and normally fights two weight classes above Benn, who is a natural welterweight.<\/p>\n The 35-year-old is to appear before the British Boxing Board of Control in July over reports he used a sauna<\/a> to cut weight, which is against its rules.<\/p>\n On the day of the fight, Eubank arrived at the stadium with his father by his side, despite the pair having apparently been estranged for a number of years.<\/p>\n Eubank Sr beat Nigel Benn in 1990 before a contentious draw three years later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
