Eubank Jr. and Benn to clash again on Sept. 20 in London, with Tottenham or Wembley as potential venues, SportsCliffs reports.
The highly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn is scheduled for September 20, 2025, in London, as confirmed by Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority and owner of Ring Magazine, who will promote the fight.
The bout, part of a Riyadh Season event, will be co-promoted by Sela, Boxxer, and Matchroom.
Eubank Jr. won their first encounter on April 26, 2025, by unanimous decision at a sold-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, delivering a thrilling 12-round battle that sparked immediate calls for a rematch.
Originally planned for September 27, the date was shifted to September 20 due to Tottenham’s Premier League match against Wolves. While Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is contracted to host, promoter Eddie Hearn indicated that Wembley Stadium, with its 90,000 capacity, is being considered to accommodate the event’s massive demand.
“Spurs is contracted, it’s a fantastic stadium and it worked extremely well the first time,” Hearn told Ring Magazine. “Obviously, it was sold out and this fight’s even bigger, so you could possibly look at Wembley to increase the capacity, but that will be a decision for His Excellency and Ring Magazine to make the final call.”
The rivalry, fueled by the historic feud between their fathers, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr., has added intense drama. The first fight, delayed from 2022 after Benn’s positive test for a banned substance, was cleared to proceed in November 2024. The buildup featured heated moments, including Eubank Jr. slapping Benn with an egg at a press conference and Benn taunting Eubank Jr. about his strained relationship with his father. Eubank Sr., initially opposed to the fight, made a surprise appearance ringside, drawing the loudest cheers of the night.
The April bout, a Fight of the Year contender, saw 65,000 fans pack Tottenham and 620,000 pay-per-view buys worldwide, setting high expectations for the rematch.
