A heated rivalry reignites at Tottenham Stadium as Benn breaks silence on rematch date

It was April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London when the world witnessed a generational clash that exceeded all expectations. Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn, sons of boxing legends who once shared a historic rivalry, delivered an all-action war that instantly carved out a place in British boxing history, with Eubank Jr. ultimately emerging victorious by decision. From round one to the final bell, the matchup delivered on legacy, animosity, and brutal exchanges. And just when the rematch seemed to be losing steam, momentum swung back.

Fans began to doubt whether the rematch would materialize at all. But according to The Ring, Riyadh Season sponsor SELA has now finalized the deal: Eubank Jr. vs. Benn II is officially set for November 15, back at the very stadium where their rivalry was born.

Conor Benn didn’t take long to respond. Breaking his silence shortly after the announcement, he issued a sharp message via The Ring:
‘I was ready in September but I’ll be even more ready for November. See you soon @ChrisEubankJr #Redemption’

Fueling this rivalry is more than just the fighters—there’s a history soaked in bitterness. The first bout was almost scrapped due to the infamous 'steroid egg' controversy, which led to delays, public accusations, and heated debates. That tension made the eventual April bout feel explosive—and personal.

When the rematch faced delays again this summer, Benn aired his frustration, telling Sky Sports that Eubank Jr. appeared 'scared.'
'It is disappointing because as a professional, you’ve got to be ready to go whenever. We knew September 20 was the date.'

Now, with a signed deal and renewed fire, the narrative is back on track. The stage is set. The bad blood remains. And November 15 promises another unforgettable chapter.
