Eubank vs Benn 2: Rivalry Reignited Ahead of Explosive Rematch
The stage is set once again for one of British boxing’s most bitter rivalries. Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn are preparing to run it back, with their highly anticipated rematch locked in for November 15 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The atmosphere around this fight is nothing short of electric, and the recent press conference only poured more fuel onto the fire.
From the moment both fighters stepped on stage, tension could be felt in the air. Eubank, never shy of drama, wasted no time turning his attention not just to Benn, but also to Eddie Hearn and Matchroom. He accused them of underhanded tactics during the first fight, even claiming his ambulance was blocked on the way to hospital after suffering severe dehydration. Hearn dismissed those claims as “waffle,” but the back-and-forth between promoter and fighter had the audience glued. It felt less like a press event and more like a live Twitter feud.

Benn, for his part, kept his focus on redemption. He admitted underestimating Eubank in their first clash, confessing that he thought he could stop him within four rounds. That miscalculation cost him dearly, as Eubank’s experience and late-round grit secured a points victory. Benn promised a better version of himself this time, warning that November will reveal exactly how much he has grown.
But if anyone thought the animosity had cooled since their first bout, they were quickly proven wrong. Eubank mocked Benn’s attempts to play the hero, saying it was the first time he had ever seen a losing fighter go on a “victory tour.” He even went as far as branding Benn’s team “wolves in sheep’s clothing – ruthless, immoral, and without restraint.”
This bad blood stretches far beyond the ring. Their rivalry was inflamed earlier this year when Eubank slapped Benn in the face with an egg during a chaotic face-off. The incident nearly turned violent backstage, with Benn threatening to “chin” his opponent. Even now, Benn has not hidden his disdain, openly calling Eubank “an idiot” while vowing to level the score in the rematch.
The first fight lived up to every bit of the hype. Both men traded heavy leather in a wild twelve-round battle, but Eubank’s composure in the championship rounds carried him to victory. For Benn, the sting of that defeat has lingered, and he insists he is ready to correct the mistakes that cost him. For Eubank, the win brought bragging rights in a family feud that has simmered for over three decades, ever since their fathers shared the ring.
Now, as fight night approaches, anticipation is boiling over. Will Benn prove he’s learned his lesson and even the score, or will Eubank cement his dominance and put this rivalry to rest once and for all? One thing is certain—November 15 is shaping up to deliver another unforgettable night in British boxing history.
