Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn meet again in a highly anticipated rematch this weekend, with the pair set to run it back one more time live on DAZN pay-per-view. The middleweight fight will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the same location of the pair's first bout. Eubank scored a unanimous decision victory against his rival as their fathers Chris Sr. and Nigel came together for the latest clash of a decades-long story for British boxing. On Saturday, they will dance once more, with Eubank Jr. seeking to keep the upper hand and Benn seeking revenge as he aims to break back from a first career loss.
This time around, the fighters are aware of what stands in front of them after pushing each other to the limit in a thrilling contest that was eventually won by Eubank Jr on the scorecards. Despite his best efforts, Benn faded down the stretch and his focus for the sequel will be on pacing himself and not giving too much of himself in the fight’s first half. If he can maintain a higher workrate in the latter stages then he has a chance to level the series, but Eubank Jr is no stranger to going full throttle over the full distance, and his industry in high-profile contests is one of his greatest assets.
