Published on

Chris Eubank Jr recently stated that the upcoming rematch with Conor Benn has not been completely finalized. The two fighters are set to face off for the second time on November 15 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, following Eubank Jr’s narrow victory over Benn in their initial bout in north London.

Initially scheduled for September 20, the rematch faced uncertainty when Eubank Jr expressed his readiness concerns. However, after negotiation between the two camps, an agreement was eventually reached. Despite both fighters signing contracts for two fights prior to the first match, Eubank Jr revealed that there are still some unresolved terms to address.

Speaking on Ring Magazine’s Inside the Ring podcast, Eubank Jr mentioned that the final contract for the fight is not fully settled, indicating ongoing negotiations to finalize certain aspects. The rematch rules are expected to mirror the first fight, with both fighters set to compete at 160lbs, along with a 10lb rehydration clause on the fight morning.

Eubank Jr’s promoter, Ben Shalom, raised concerns about the rehydration clause, emphasizing Eubank Jr’s reluctance to commit to it again due to past health issues related to dehydration. Despite challenges in finalizing the contract terms, the rematch is confirmed to take place on November 15 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with specific event timings yet to be announced. Viewers can anticipate similar broadcast details to be released closer to the fight date.
