On December 23, a fight between Conor Benn (22-0, 14 KOs) and Chris Eubank Jr. (33-3, 24 KOs). This was announced by promoter Eddie Hearn. Negotiations on this matter have been going on for several weeks.
The fight between the sons of two British boxing legends was due to take place last autumn, but following two positive doping tests for Benn, the event was cancelled. The fight will take place in the middle weight category.
Eubank recently beat Liam Smith to avenge his defeat in January. On Saturday, Benn returned to the ring after a year and a half break and won on points against Rodolfo Orozco.
