The fight carries extra weight due to the history between their fathers, who fought twice in the 1990s. Now, after a two-year battle, Benn can apply for a British license again and compete on home soil.
Tyson Fury shared his thoughts on the match-up with TNT Sports Boxing. He said:
"It's a weight category thing. If it's at 10 stone or whatever it is, 10 and a half stone, it's going to be Conor Benn, if it's at middleweight, it's probably going to be Eubank."
The fight will take place at middleweight, with a rehydration clause limiting both fighters to 170 pounds on fight day. Eubank Jr usually competes up to 168 pounds, while Benn typically fights at welterweight (147 pounds).
Benn last fought at 154 pounds, going the distance with Rodolfo Orozco in 2023. He's confident about the upcoming bout, predicting he'll knock out Eubank Jr within four rounds.
The weight difference will play a crucial role in the fight's outcome. Eubank Jr will need to cut weight, while Benn moves up. Both face challenges: Eubank Jr must maintain his strength at a lower weight, and Benn needs to adapt to facing a larger opponent.
Benn's return to British boxing adds another layer of intrigue to the event. After resolving his licensing issues, he'll want to prove himself in front of a home crowd.
The fight promises to be a big event, mixing family legacy with current boxing drama. As April approaches, fans and experts will keep discussing who has the edge in this long-awaited showdown.
