Eubank Jr-Benn 2 undercard announced as ex-title challenger lands chief support role

Five fights have been added to the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn’s rematch on November 15, live on DAZN.

An all-British welterweight clash between former world title challenger Jack Catterall and Ekow Essuman will provide chief support at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Catterall has switched training teams ahead of the fight, linking up with Derek ‘Bozy’ Ennis, the father of ex-champion Jaron Ennis, in America.

But he is unlikely to have things all his own way against Essuman who is coming off a career-best win over Josh Taylor earlier this year.

Rising star Adam Azim is also on the card, and he will face super lightweight contender Zaur Abdullaev.

Azim has not fought since he beat former champion Sergey Lipinets in February but will look to make up for lost time against Abdullaev who has only lost two of his 22 professional fights.

Richard Riakporhe will also be in action against the unbeaten Tommy Welch as he looks to get himself into the mix in the heavyweight division.

Riakporhe missed out on a world title at cruiserweight last year when he lost to Chris Billam-Smith in their rematch at Selhurst Park, but he returned to the ring with a stoppage win in May.

The final two fights to be confirmed will see Sam Gilley and Ishmael Davis in a super welterweight clash, while 20-year-old prospect Mikie Tallon will face the experienced Fezan Shahid.

It promises to be an action-packed night of boxing ahead of the rematch that fight fans have been waiting for.

Eubank Jr edged his first meeting with Benn back in April as he finished strongly to take a unanimous decision victory.

Back at the same venue, Eubank Jr and Benn will do it all again with family pride and bragging rights on the line.

Eubank Jr has reunited with Terence Crawford’s trainer, Brian ‘Momac’ McIntyre, as he aims for a repeat win, whereas Benn has stuck with the same team for his shot at redemption.
