The iconic Eubank-Benn rivalry continues as Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn prepare to face off, three decades after their fathers' legendary battles in British boxing.

Their fathers' feud began in 1990 when Eubank Sr defeated Benn in nine rounds for the middleweight world title, followed by a draw in their 1993 rematch.

Fight Details:

• Date: Saturday, April 26th
• Location: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
• Weight: Middleweight (160 pounds with 10-pound rehydration limit)
• Broadcast: DAZN PPV & Sky Sports Box Office
• Main Event Time: Approx. 18:00 ET
• Cost: $24.99

The weight limit has been a significant factor, with Benn moving up from welterweight and Eubank Jr coming down from super-middleweight. Notably, Eubank Jr missed weight twice, incurring a $500,000 fine.

Recent Form:

• Benn: Victories over Rodolfo Orozco and Peter Dobson following his return
• Eubank Jr: Six-fight win streak before 2022, including wins over James DeGale and Liam Williams

The stakes are high with Turki Alalshikh offering the winner a potential fight against Canelo Alvarez. However, both fighters are primarily focused on family legacy and pride.

This clash represents more than just another boxing match - it's a continuation of a historic British boxing rivalry, with both men carrying the weight of their family names into the ring.

Undercard Features:

• Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur 3
• Liam Smith vs Aaron McKenna
• Chris Billam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton
