The Rematch Showdown: Odds, Predictions & Ticket Info

Eubank vs Benn 2 news – The Rematch Showdown: Odds, Predictions & Ticket Info

The generational Eubank vs Benn rivalry is back for round two – and it’s fiercer than ever. On November 15, 2025, Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn will collide again at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a grudge match that has British boxing buzzing. Their first meeting was an epic 12-round war that saw Eubank Jr. eke out a unanimous decision win. Now the stage is set for Eubank vs Benn 2, a rematch soaked in family pride, high stakes, and a dash of drama (including an actual egging – more on that shortly). Who will win this time? Let’s dive into the Eubank vs Benn 2 news and fight details, odds, predictions, and everything you need to know about this blockbuster rematch.

Born Rivals: A Family Feud Reignited

To appreciate Benn vs Eubank Jr round two, you must understand the bad blood that started it all. Their fathers – Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr – waged one of Britain’s fiercest rivalries in the 1990s. Eubank Sr. knocked out Nigel in their first fight (November 1990) and they fought to a dramatic draw in the 1993 rematch. That legendary two-fight feud never saw a third chapter… but now the sons are writing their own.

Fast forward to the present: Conor Benn vs Eubank Jr was first scheduled in October 2022, nearly 30 years after their fathers’ last clash. However, chaos ensued when Benn failed a drug test for clomifene just days before the bout. The event was scrapped amid scandal, with Benn protesting his innocence (at one point citing overconsumption of eggs as a possible cause). The debacle only added more fuel to this grudge match. By the time the fight was rebooked for April 2025, tensions were through the roof – and Eubank Jr. capitalized with some mind games, famously cracking an egg on Benn’s face during a press face-off (a playful nod to the “egg” excuse). That “eggscapade” cost Eubank a hefty £100k+ fine, but it cemented the animosity between these two. Even the usually composed Eubank Sr. was initially so aghast at his son’s antics that he vowed not to attend – only to make a surprise emotional appearance during the ring walk. In short, the Eubank Jr vs Benn rivalry has become personal and deeply entwined with family legacy.

What Happened in Eubank vs Benn 1?

The first Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn showdown took place on April 26, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and it lived up to the hype. Eubank Jr., the naturally bigger man, was drained down to the 160 lb catchweight and had to abide by a strict rehydration cap (more on that later). Benn, moving up almost two weight classes, brought ferocious intent to “settle the family business.” The result? A brutal, seesaw 12-round battle that had over 67,000 fans roaring. Both men landed big shots and showed granite chins – at one point, Eubank wobbled Benn, only for Benn to fire back in spirited exchanges. Ultimately, Eubank Jr.’s experience and size advantage carried the day. He won via unanimous decision with all three judges scoring it 116–112 in his favor.

That victory not only gave Eubank Jr. a 1-0 lead in this generation’s rivalry but also maintained the Eubank family’s unbeaten record against the Benns. (Nigel Benn never defeated Chris Sr., and now Conor has fallen short against Chris Jr.) However, the close nature of the contest sparked debate. Promoter Eddie Hearn – firmly in Conor Benn’s camp – even claimed “the fight could have gone either way” and lavished praise on Benn’s heart and resilience (en.wikipedia.org). Benn himself felt he hadn’t shown his best that night. In fact, his father, Nigel, was openly critical of Conor’s performance, saying “that was Conor at his worst” and that his son abandoned their game plan by throwing wild punches instead of the calculated combinations they trained for. Nigel Benn insists the “real Conor” will stand up in the rematch now that the younger Benn has 12 rounds at middleweight under his belt.

Regardless, Eubank Jr.’s win was decisive enough to set up this high-stakes sequel. And if you thought the first fight had fireworks, both camps promise Eubank vs Benn 2 will be even bigger. As Hearn put it, “What you will see in Benn–Eubank II is the 13th round of Benn–Eubank I… if not even better” skysports.com. The unfinished family business is about to be settled – or perhaps just beginning a new chapter.

When and Where Is Eubank vs Benn 2?

Date: Saturday, 15 November 2025 – mark your calendars for this autumn showdown. The rematch takes place back at the same venue as the first fight: the 60,000+ seat Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Organizers are billing the event as “Unfinished Business”, a nod to the grudge still lingering from the first bout. Indeed, both fighters were back in negotiations for a rematch almost immediately after April’s fight, and by mid-year the date was locked in for November at Tottenham.

Fight Time: For fans wondering what time is Eubank vs Benn? – plan for an evening affair. The main event ring walks are expected at around 10:00 PM GMT (UK time), which is about 5:00 PM ET for U.S. viewers. As always with big boxing cards, the exact ring walk time could shift depending on the undercard, but late evening UK is the target. The full undercard is set to start around 5:30 PM UK time (gates open and preliminary bouts from that point). By the time we get to the co-main events and build-up, expect the Tottenham crowd to reach fever pitch just like last time – in April, the atmosphere was electric by 8:30 PM when the fighters emerged.

How to Watch: Those not lucky enough to attend in person can catch the fight live on pay-per-view. In the UK, Eubank vs Benn 2 will be available on DAZN PPV (and was also carried on Sky Sports Box Office for the first fight). DAZN is the primary broadcaster worldwide, so both UK and U.S. viewers can stream the event on DAZN PPV. It’s a rare cross-promotion between Matchroom and BOXXER, so multiple platforms have been involved in the deals. In other words, check your local listings – but DAZN’s platform is a sure bet for live coverage of this fight. (For those asking “what channel is Eubank vs Benn on?”, the answer is likely DAZN PPV or Sky Box Office in the UK, and DAZN in the U.S.)

And of course, if you prefer the thrill of witnessing it ringside with VIP treatment, hospitality packages are available – more on that at the end of this article.

The Weight Factor & Rehydration Cap Explained

One unique aspect of Eubank Jr vs Benn is the weight drama. This fight is at middleweight (160 lbs limit), which heavily favors the naturally larger Eubank Jr., who has campaigned at 160–168 lbs for years. Benn, meanwhile, was a welterweight (147 lbs) moving up. To make the contest fair, the camps agreed on a catchweight of 160 and, crucially, a rehydration clause. So what is this rehydration cap, exactly?

In simple terms, a rehydration clause means both fighters must weigh in again on the morning of the fight and cannot exceed a set limit (in this case, 10 lbs over the fight weight). For Eubank vs Benn, that translates to no more than 170 lbs on fight day morning. The idea is to prevent Eubank Jr. from bulking back up too much and having an overwhelming size advantage on fight night. It’s a somewhat controversial stipulation because it can leave a fighter drained. Indeed, Eubank Jr. struggled with the weight cut for the first bout – he even missed the 160 lb limit by a hair (just 0.05 lbs over) at the official weigh-in, which cost him a hefty fine of around $500,000. He did manage to make the rehydration cap the next day, coming in at 169.4 lbs (reportedly while still wearing a jacket on the scale!). Eubank later revealed he felt “tight” at that weight and even had to visit the hospital after the fight due to dehydration effects. Notably, Eubank’s promoter at the time, Ben Shalom, denied rumors that Eubank suffered any serious injury like a broken jaw, dismissing such claims as mind games from Team Benn.

For the rematch, the weight terms are identical: 160 lb limit and the same rehydration cap of 170 lbs by fight morning. Eddie Hearn insists this rehydration clause is “categorically not a problem” for Eubank Jr., noting that 160 is Eubank’s usual fighting weight and he expects Chris to handle it better the second time around. “Perhaps this time he’ll make the weight better,” Hearn mused optimistically. Hearn also pointed out that Benn, having gone through it once, will be more comfortable at the weight now. Still, weight will be a pivotal factor to watch. Eubank Jr. is an athletic 5’11” with a 71% KO rate, and if he’s fully energized at 170 lbs, he’ll be a force. Benn, at 5’8”, is giving up size (and 8 years of age), but he’s hungry to prove he can overcome the disadvantage. The rehydration cap essentially levels the playing field – or, depending on who you ask, puts Eubank at a slight handicap to test his discipline. Either way, it adds intrigue: will Eubank come in stronger this time, or will the weight cut drain him again? The outcome may swing on this question.

Undercard and Ring Walk: What to Expect on Fight Night

A mega-event like Eubank vs Benn 2 isn’t just about the main event – there’s a full fight card to enjoy. The April showdown’s undercard featured a slew of all-British matchups. Fans were treated to bouts like Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur (a light-heavyweight clash Yarde won on points) and Aaron McKenna vs Liam “Beefy” Smith (a surprising upset with prospect McKenna outpointing the former world champ). There was also a British cruiserweight title fight where Viddal Riley defeated Cheavon Clarke, and a gritty cruiserweight scrap with Chris Billam-Smith beating Brandon Glanton. While those fights delivered solid action for UK die-hards, some critics felt the first card lacked global star power. This time, promoters promise a stronger undercard to make the event even more appealing. Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn has hinted at some high-profile bouts he’d like to add – he even mentioned he’s put forward a fight involving former title challenger Jack Catterall for the undercard. Fans on forums are speculating about other potential additions, possibly another world title fight or a heavyweight attraction to spice up the evening. As of now, the undercard is still being finalized, but expect a mix of established names and rising talents from both the Matchroom and Boxxer stables. With such a massive venue to fill, stacking the card is in everyone’s interest.

Speaking of the event atmosphere: What about the ring walks? In the first fight, the ring walks were pure nostalgic theater. Conor Benn strode out first with his father Nigel by his side, entering to the same “Dangerous” theme that Nigel Benn used in his heyday.

 Moments later, Eubank Jr. followed with Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best” blaring – the iconic song his father Chris Eubank Sr. always used. The stadium absolutely erupted for that moment; seeing the two legendary fathers in the ring together (they received rapturous applause when introduced) was a spine-tingling tribute to the original rivalry. And remember, Eubank Sr. had initially been estranged from his son and opposed the fight, but his surprise appearance to support Chris Jr. provided a heartfelt storyline of reconciliation. It was the kind of emotional drama only boxing can deliver.

For the rematch, you can bet they’ll try to recreate, if not top, that grandiosity. We might very well see Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr. in the ring again, perhaps even involved in the ring walks from the start this time. (One can imagine Sr. proudly walking out arm-in-arm with Junior in a show of unity.) The fighters themselves have embraced the family legacy theme, so don’t be surprised if Conor Benn comes out in vintage Dark Destroyer style and Eubank Jr. channels his father’s flamboyance. One thing’s for sure: the ring walk time will be a spectacle. Expect it around 10 PM UK as noted, with fireworks – literal and figurative – and a roaring crowd. The rivalry and nostalgia in the air will be palpable as both men make that long walk to settle the score once again.

Odds & Predictions: Who Will Win the Rematch?

With the fight drawing closer, everyone is asking: Benn vs Eubank Jr – who will win this time? The bookmakers have spoken, and they slightly favor the elder statesman of the feud. Chris Eubank Jr. is currently the betting favorite, roughly around 8/15 odds (-190) to win, while Conor Benn is about 3/2 (+150) as the underdog. Those odds imply about a 63% chance for Eubank Jr. and 37% for Benn according to the bookies’ calculations. It makes sense: Eubank Jr. won the first fight, has the size/experience edge, and has proven himself at middleweight. Benn, despite being a dangerous, unbeaten (before April) with pedigree, is still perceived as the smaller, less tested fighter in this weight class.

Dig a little deeper into the betting markets and you’ll see some interesting wagers. Odds for a knockout or stoppage lean in Eubank’s favor as well. Eubank Jr. is around 7/4 (+180) to win by KO/TKO, whereas Benn is about 3/1 (+300) to win by KO/TKO. In their first encounter, neither man hit the deck, but both were rocked at times, and many observers felt Eubank’s heavier shots did more cumulative damage. If anyone is more likely to force a stoppage in the rematch, oddsmakers lean toward Chris – he’s got 25 knockouts in 35 wins (71% KO rate) to Benn’s 14 KOs in 23 wins (61% KO rate). On the flip side, Eubank’s lone stoppage loss (a shock TKO defeat to Liam Smith in 2023) showed he can be cracked if caught right, and Conor Benn certainly carries explosive power himself. The longer odds on a Benn knockout might tempt some, especially those who believe the younger man can capitalize if Eubank is weight-drained or underestimates him. For those expecting another distance fight, odds for a decision are available too (approximately 2/1 for Eubank on points, 4/1 for Benn on points). The first fight did go all 12, but both men have promised a more definitive ending this time.

Now, for our prediction: Strap in, because this is a classic puncher vs pressure fighter scenario with a family twist. In the first bout, Eubank Jr.’s jab, boxing IQ, and size advantage carried him through, but not without adversity. Benn’s speed and ferocity gave Eubank problems, especially in the middle rounds when Conor’s overhand rights found a home. However, Benn admittedly fought with too much emotion – charging in looking for a knockout to avenge his father, which at times played into Eubank’s hands. If Benn can temper that aggression with smarter shot selection (as Nigel Benn insists he will), he could have more success in the rematch. He’s also now gone 12 rounds with a middleweight, proving his stamina and shaking off ring rust from a long layoff. Eubank Jr., meanwhile, will aim to replicate what worked: keep the fight at mid-range, use his jab and uppercuts, and lean on his superior experience. At 36, Eubank is the veteran here, and he’s been in with elite operators before. One wildcard is how his body holds up to the tight weight cut again – any slippage on the scales or signs of fatigue, and Benn will surely try to jump on him early.

It’s worth noting even WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury weighed in (pun intended) on this matchup, saying “It’s a weight category thing” – implying Eubank’s size and class should prevail over a naturally smaller man. Many experts agree that Conor Benn, as talented as he is, might simply be biting off more than he can chew against a full-fledged middleweight. On the other hand, Eddie Hearn has called it a “50-50 fight” now that Conor has momentum and confidence from going the distance once. Hearn believes Benn will be more dangerous in the rematch, better at sticking to a game plan, and less overawed by the occasion. The elder Benn (Nigel) is outright predicting his son will shock the world and that we’ll see “the real Conor” emerge victorious on November 15.

Taking all that into account, our prediction tilts toward Chris Eubank Jr. to edge out another victory – but in boxing, nothing is guaranteed. Eubank’s combination of size, technique, and a granite chin (which, aside from the Smith anomaly, has held up against big punchers) gives him the logical advantage. He’s been in must-win rematches before (he avenged the Smith loss emphatically) and knows how to adjust. We expect Benn to start fast and perhaps even buzz Eubank early with his explosiveness. Yet if Eubank Jr. can weather the initial storm, his superior conditioning and ring savvy should take over in the later rounds. A late stoppage by Eubank Jr. isn’t out of the question if Benn tires from loading up on power shots. Our call: Chris Eubank Jr. by late TKO or a close decision, after a brutal, see-saw fight. In a witty nod to the saga’s nutritional subplots, Eubank might just prove that egg-perience triumphs over youthful zest.

Of course, many are already speculating: if Benn wins, we’re almost certainly headed for Eubank vs Benn 3 to complete the trilogy (something their fathers never did). There’s a lot on the line here beyond pride – legacy, bragging rights, and future mega paydays. Some cheeky pundits have even suggested Eubank Jr. has a financial incentive to let Benn even the score, since a 1-1 tie would set up a lucrative rubber match. But you can bet neither fighter is thinking that way; both men badly want to win outright and emerge from their fathers’ shadows. As Conor Benn said, “I wish it was Saturday night tonight” – he’s itching to avenge the loss. Eubank Jr., ever the showman, has vowed to “take out my adversary, Conor Benn,” without mercy. In short, this rematch has all the ingredients for a classic: skill vs power, pride vs pressure, and a score to settle once and for all (or until the next time!).

Eubank vs Benn 2 is a must-watch event for any boxing fan. Will Eubank Jr. solidify his family’s dominance, or will Conor Benn flip the script and get revenge?
