The long-awaited middleweight boxing rematch between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn is finally here, with the sons of British boxing legends continuing a family feud that has captivated the nation.
A Legacy Forged in Rivalry
This high-stakes encounter, taking place on Saturday 15 November 2025, echoes the famous battles between their fathers, Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn. The tension was palpable at Friday's weigh-in at York Hall in London, where the fighters faced off for the final time before entering the ring.
The Rehydration Clause Controversy
A significant rehydration clause looms over this ill-advised rematch, adding another layer of cynicism to an already contentious bout. This contractual stipulation, which limits how much weight a fighter can regain after the weigh-in, could prove decisive in the outcome.
Donald McRae has described the event as "another example of boxing’s cynicism," highlighting the commercial pressures that often override sporting purity in the modern fight game.
As the final chapter in this generational saga unfolds, all eyes will be on whether Benn can avenge his family's honour or if Eubank Jr will further cement his dominance in this bitter rivalry.
