Riyadh Season

Chris Eubank vs Conor Benn Official Fight Trailer!

(January 29th) After years of back and forth, postponements, and animosity, the Eubank versus Benn rivalry returns to British Boxing.

 

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host one of the most highly-anticipated fights in British boxing history when Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn face off in N17 on Saturday 26th April.

 

It is the latest chapter in a 35-year-old family rivalry that started when legendary fathers Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn fought twice in the early 1990s for the World Middleweight and Super-Middleweight titles.

 

On April 26th, unfinished business will be settled in North London, as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosts its third boxing event following the World Heavyweight title bouts between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk in September 2021, and Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora in December 2022.

 

The undercard will feature the following fights:

Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur

Liam Smith vs Aaron McKenna

Chris Billam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton

Viddal Riley vs Cheavon Clarke

 

Delayed in 2022 due to a Benn failed VADA - Voluntary Anti-Doping Association drug test and other outside issues tickets for the highly anticipated “grudge match” can be purchased just (click here).
