The highly anticipated rematch between British boxing stars Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn has finally been confirmed, setting the stage for an explosive showdown in 2024.
This confirmation comes after months of speculation following their controversial cancelled bout in 2022, which was called off after Benn failed a drug test. The new fight promises to settle unfinished business between these two fierce rivals.
Details of the Rematch
The bout will take place at a catchweight of 157lbs, with both fighters agreeing to strict drug testing protocols throughout their training camps. While an exact date and venue haven't been announced, sources suggest it will likely be held in London during the first quarter of 2024.

The rivalry between these second-generation fighters runs deep, with their fathers - Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn - having one of British boxing's most famous feuds in the 1990s. The younger generation now has the chance to write their own chapter in this historic rivalry.
"This fight is about more than just titles," Eubank Jr stated. "It's about legacy, pride and proving who's the better fighter once and for all."
Benn responded: "I've waited two years for this opportunity. The truth will come out in the ring where it matters."
