The rematch comes after more than two years of heated buildup. In April, Eubank Jr won their first fight by unanimous decision after 12 rounds. Before that fight, there was a lot of drama. The boxers exchanged harsh words, Benn failed drug tests, and there was even an incident where Benn slapped Eubank Jr with an egg. Eubank Jr missed weight the day before the fight but met the rehydration limit on fight day.
During the first fight, Benn, who's naturally smaller, started aggressively. But Eubank Jr's size advantage eventually showed, and he took control of the fight.
Roy Jones Jr, who used to coach Eubank Jr, shared his thoughts on the upcoming rematch. He said on the Froch on Fighting program:
"Hard to say, man. I like Chris because he was the bigger fighter but Conor put on a hell of a show last time. If he can look at his tape, go make adjustments, he can make a difference, so we don't know yet."
In this rematch, Benn wants to redeem himself, while Eubank Jr aims to prove his first win wasn't a fluke. The fight could turn into an all-out war, leaving both boxers needing plenty of time to recover afterward.
The November 15 date is set, and boxing fans are eager to see how round two of Eubank Jr vs Benn will play out.
