Chris Eubank Jr<\/a> and Conor Benn<\/a> fight this weekend as the arch-rivals finally settle their differences with a highly-anticipated London grudge match.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest all-British showdowns boxing has seen in recent years is a contest more than two-and-a-half years in the making, having originally supposed to have taken place back in October 2022 before being cancelled at late notice after Benn failed two voluntary drugs tests.<\/p>\n

Benn has always denied any wrongdoing after testing positive for clomifene and has since fought to clear his name, finally able to continue his stalled career in the UK in November.<\/p>\n

Tensions with long-time foe Eubank Jr continued to simmer until confirmation in January that the duo would lock horns in April, more than 31 years after their famous fathers – Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn – contested the second of their blockbuster title fights in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

One of British boxing\u2019s most intense rivalries of that decade has since been passed down, with a genuine dislike having built between the duo and multiple clashes erupted between Eubank Jr and Benn<\/a>, including at a chaotic press conference in February when Eubank Jr slapped his opponent with an egg<\/a> during a wild face-off – a reference to the WBC\u2019s report in 2023 that a “highly-elevated consumption of eggs” was a \u201creasonable explanation\u201d for Benn\u2019s failed tests – that ended in a brawl.<\/p>\n

Such a headline-grabbing stunt earned Eubank Jr a hefty fine of \u00a3100,000<\/a> from the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC), with the pair largely kept at more of a distance in their media engagements since then in a bid to try and keep the peace.<\/p>\n

Whereas the original bout in 2022 was going to be staged at a catchweight of 157lbs, this high-profile meeting is being fought at Eubank Jr\u2019s natural home of middleweight and 160lbs, with Benn making a huge jump up two divisions from welterweight.<\/p>\n

There is a strict 10-pound rehydration clause once again in place that means Eubank Jr – who has also spent plenty of time fighting at the super-middleweight limit of 168lbs during his career – and Benn cannot weigh more than 170lbs on fight day. Eubank Jr cutting weight and Benn moving up so far from 147lbs has led to huge criticism from Eubank Sr, who will not be in his son\u2019s corner on fight night with their relationship having broken down in recent years.<\/p>\n

For Eubank Jr it\u2019s a first outing since October and only his fourth since early 2022, having successfully avenged his shock stoppage defeat by Liam Smith<\/a> in September 2023 before flooring former European middleweight champion Kamil Szeremeta four times en route to a seventh-round stoppage to claim the vacant IBO title on the original Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol undercard in Riyadh.<\/p>\n

Eubank vs Benn prediction<\/p>\n

From a purely simplistic viewpoint, it is tough to see how Benn is able to bridge the significant size difference on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Jumping up two weight divisions is quite an ask, especially against an opponent as experienced as Eubank Jr.<\/p>\n

But Eubank Jr so often flatters to deceive even during the course of fights that he wins comfortably, frequently accused of coasting, taking rounds off and needlessly allowing his opponent a potential route back into proceedings.<\/p>\n

After his very tough last few years and with all the emotion and bad blood in this intergenerational rivalry, Benn will be absolutely desperate to put on an explosive show to put his long since stalled career firmly back on track and claim ultimate bragging rights.<\/p>\n

Advantage: Eubank Jr boasts a clear size advantage over Benn that he will look to exploit from the outset<\/p>\n

If he is able to get in close to Eubank Jr and let the venomous shots fly in bunches, he has the ability to hurt him, with some vicious knockouts on Benn\u2019s record.<\/p>\n

But providing he can sustain his focus for the full 12 rounds and box smartly to utilise his obvious advantages, we\u2019re backing Eubank Jr to take it on the cards. Fail to do that though and Benn is more than capable of taking the victory.<\/p>\n
