Eubank Jr Weighs 159.1lbs for Benn Rematch, Lighter Than Rival
Eubank Jr lighter than Benn for Tottenham rematch

All eyes are on the scales as Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn successfully made weight for their highly anticipated middleweight rematch this Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Weigh-In Results Reveal Surprise

In a surprising turn of events, Chris Eubank Jr tipped the scales at 159.1lbs (11st 5lb), comfortably under the 160lbs middleweight limit. His rival, Conor Benn, who has previously competed as a welterweight, came in slightly heavier at 159.3lbs (11st 5lb).

The official weigh-in ceremony is scheduled for Friday night at the historic York Hall, but the initial measurements were taken earlier on Friday, 14th November 2025.

A Contrast to Previous Fight

This successful weigh-in stands in stark contrast to the fighters' previous bout in April. On that occasion, Eubank Jr initially weighed 160.2lbs and then 160.5lbs on a second attempt, missing the contracted limit.

As a result, the 36-year-old from Brighton was forced to pay a substantial forfeit fee of £375,000 (500,000 US dollars) directly to Benn. Benn famously spent the windfall on a luxury Rolls-Royce.

Final Showdown Ahead

Eubank Jr has ensured history did not repeat itself, making weight with ease ahead of the final face-off at York Hall. The stage is now set for the British pair to settle their score in front of a massive crowd in North London.

The boxing world awaits to see if Eubank Jr's discipline on the scales translates to victory in the ring, or if Benn's confidence with a slight weight advantage will prove decisive.
