In a dramatic reversal of fortunes, Chris Eubank Jr has successfully made weight for his highly anticipated rematch against Conor Benn, ensuring he avoids a massive financial penalty that marred their first encounter.
Weigh-In Results Set the Stage
The official weigh-in for the bout took place on Friday, 14 November 2025. Chris Eubank Jr registered 159.1lbs, coming in comfortably under the 160lbs middleweight limit. His rival, Conor Benn, weighed slightly heavier at 159.3lbs. Both fighters are now cleared for their headline clash at North London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
A Costly Mistake Avoided
This successful weigh-in stands in stark contrast to the events leading up to their previous fight. On that occasion, Eubank Jr failed to hit the required weight, a misstep that cost him a hefty £375,000 forfeit paid directly to Conor Benn. By making weight without issue this time, Eubank Jr has ensured his purse remains intact and enters the ring without that financial burden.
Benn's Future Plans Revealed
Adding another layer of narrative to this grudge match, Conor Benn has indicated that this will be his final contest at the middleweight division. His intention is to return to the welterweight category in 2026, where he plans to mount a serious challenge for a world title. This announcement raises the stakes, positioning this fight as a crucial finale to his middleweight campaign.
With the formalities of the weigh-in complete, all eyes are now on the ring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where these two British rivals will finally settle their score.
