Eubank Jr and Benn will finally face off on April 26th. Fans have wanted this fight for years. It's a big deal in the UK, going beyond just boxing circles.
The fight was supposed to happen in October 2022 but got called off when Benn tested positive for banned substances. Now that Benn's cleared to fight again, it's back on. There's a catch, though - Eubank Jr can only gain 10 pounds after the weigh-in.
Eubank Jr comes into this fight with more experience. He's fought world champions at super middleweight. Benn, on the other hand, is smaller and hasn't fought at such a high level yet.
Last year, Eubank Jr had two fights against Liam Smith. He lost the first by knockout but won the rematch the same way.
"I do think that is a next logical fight and this fight, Turki is saying, can put me in position to get in the ring with 'Canelo' which would be amazing."
Eubank Jr told The Ring Magazine he's already thinking about Canelo. But Canelo's got his own plans. He's fighting William Scull on May 3rd. Then, he might face Terrence Crawford in September. That fight would be huge - Crawford's a two-weight undisputed champion.
For now, Eubank Jr needs to focus on Benn. It's a fight that's been brewing for a while, and UK boxing fans can't wait to see it happen.
