The long-awaited all-British grudge match between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn has been officially confirmed. The middleweight clash will take place on April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, headlining the first Ring Magazine card.
The fight was originally scheduled for October 2022 at London's O2 Arena but was postponed after Benn failed two voluntary anti-doping tests. Benn, 28, always denied wrongdoing, and his provisional suspension was lifted by the National Anti-Doping Panel in November, clearing the way for the bout.
Benn, undefeated at 23-0, will fight on home soil for the first time since April 2022. He has since beaten Rodolfo Orozco and Peter Dobson in the USA. Eubank Jr, 35, ended 13 months out of the ring with a seventh-round knockout of Kamil Szeremeta in October to win the IBO middleweight title, moving to 34-3.
The undercard features Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur in a third all-British showdown, Liam Smith vs Aaron McKenna, Chris Billam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton, and Viddal Riley vs Cheavon Clarke.
