Conor Benn is once again setting his sights on major names in boxing including a potential clash with legend Manny Pacquiao as he plans to return to the welterweight division following his rematch with Chris Eubank Jr in November. Promoter Eddie Hearn has suggested that if Benn comes through the fight successfully, a world title opportunity against WBC champion Mario Barrios could be next.
The highly anticipated rematch between Benn and Eubank Jr will take place on Saturday, November 15, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, reigniting one of British boxing’s most famous family rivalries. Their fathers, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr, shared two classic bouts in the early 1990s Eubank Sr winning the first and the second ending in a draw leaving their rivalry forever unfinished.
With Eubank Jr claiming victory in the pair’s first meeting earlier this year, the family feud now stands at 2-0 in favour of the Eubanks. Conor Benn will enter this rematch with revenge on his mind and a chance to restore pride to his family name. The rematch will again be fought at the same venue where their first encounter took place and may prove to be the final chapter between the two fighters.
Benn and Eubank Jr Set for Rematch with Trilogy Hopes on the Line
Both have expressed ambitions of pursuing championship gold in their respective divisions, but should Benn edge out a close victory or even force a draw it could open the door for a third and final showdown to complete the trilogy their fathers never managed. Their first meeting, contested at the middleweight limit of 160lbs, saw Benn jump two divisions from his natural welterweight home to take on the bigger Eubank Jr.
A strict rehydration clause was included, limiting Eubank Jr to no more than 10lbs above the weight limit on fight night a rule that will again be enforced in the rematch. Before the first fight, some fans and pundits feared that the magnitude of the occasion would overshadow the action in the ring. Those doubts quickly disappeared once the bell rang. The bout turned into an instant classic, with both men trading heavy blows and showing remarkable toughness.
Despite Benn’s aggression and heart, Eubank Jr’s superior size, timing, and ring experience proved decisive as he earned a unanimous decision victory with all three judges scoring the contest 116-112 in his favour. The rematch card on November 15 will be promoted by Sela in association with Matchroom Boxing and Boxxer, with Ring Magazine and Riyadh Season serving as event sponsors.

Eubank Jr–Benn: Contract Disputes Add Drama Before Fight Night
The previous encounter, held on April 26, was widely regarded as a leading contender for Fight of the Year, delivering non-stop action from start to finish. In the build-up to their second clash, however, speculation has emerged around final details of the fight contract. Speaking on Inside The Ring, Eubank Jr 35-3, 25 KOs revealed that while both camps had agreed to a rematch before the first fight, certain contractual elements remain under negotiation.
Yes, we agreed to a second fight before the first, he said. But there are still parts of the contract being discussed. I’m not going to say which ones, but my team and I are making sure we get the best deal possible. Benn, when asked by Boxing Social about Eubank’s comments, was quick to brush them aside. Not my concern. I couldn’t care less. I’m not even bothered, he said bluntly.
The undefeated welterweight contender (23-0, 14 KOs) added, He’s always had issues — contractual issues, promotional issues, managerial issues. That’s nothing new with him. As both men prepare to reignite their rivalry, anticipation continues to build for what promises to be another explosive encounter. For Benn, victory could mean redemption and a return to his natural division with a world title shot in sight.
