Pure hatred, redemption and last chance saloons: Why Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn is a must read story
British boxing is never short of great rivalries and one of those is resurrected this Saturday, April 26 live on DAZN PPV worldwide.
Taking place in front a sell-out crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will finally meet, and reignite a family rivalry made famous by their respective fathers, which has been raging for over 30 years.
Ahead of the opening bell, DAZN News address the key reasons fight fans cannot miss one of the biggest boxing events of 2025.
A new chapter in the Eubank-Benn feud

There are three constants in this world - death, taxes and the Eubank-Benn family hatred. It started with the fathers in the 1990's and lives on with their sons now.
For boxing fans of a British persuasion, the names Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn bring back memories of two epic fights which defined an era on UK shores.
Now it's the turn of their two sons to write a new chapter in this family rivalry which continues to capture the imagination of the old and new generations who follow the sweet science.
Ever since Conor Benn turned professional in 2016, a fight with Chris Eubank Jr seemed a natural fit despite the huge discrepancy in weight.
Now three years after the original bout was postponed, they will finally meet with the greatest prize on the line, family pride.
This fight may have originally been built on the reputation and history of the fathers, but as time has gone on, this battle is now all about the sons and their loathing of each other - and the boxing public cannot get enough.
Expect the unexpected in fight week
Chris Eubank Jr certainly knows how to put on a show in the build-up to his fights and he is pulling out all the stops against Conor Benn.
His antics have elevated this fight into the stratosphere (as well as making him £100,000 poorer).
The build-up was already heated, and then it went up a notch at the first press conference in Manchester when Eubank Jr slapped Benn with an egg during the face-off.
This action sparked pandemonium on the stage with the two having to be flanked by armies of security guards whenever they are together in the same room.
Eubank Jr has also been taking aim at Benn's promoter Eddie Hearn during his media engagements adding more fuel to the fire.
Expect him to have more tricks up his sleeve in fight week, while Benn and his team will no doubt have their own mind games planned.
What will happen? There is only one way to find out and that is on DAZN PPV.
Eubank Jr's last chance at world honours
While there is no world title on the line here, this fight will prove to be a defining moment in Eubank Jr’s desperate hunt to land a world crown and match his legendary father.
The Brighton boxer believes he is world champion material, despite losing his only previous title fight, and at 37-years-old time is not on his side to achieve that goal.
That one title shot ended in defeat to George Groves in 2018, while a loss to Liam Smith in 2023 put a roadblock in Eubank Jr's second attempted journey to the summit.
He has built again, including smashing that Liam Smith road block with a revenge victory nice months later, and is now back into a position for a final attempt at world glory.
But that will all end if he loses to Benn.
Benn’s return and redemption

Following the adverse finding in a drugs test ahead of Conor Benn's original date with Chris Eubank Jr in October 2022, Benn was forced to take a prolonged absence from the sport.
In order to keep himself active, Benn fought once in 2023 and 2024 with wins over Rodolfo Orozco and Peter Dobson respectively.
Unfortunately, those fights took place in the United States with Benn's last UK outing coming in April 2022 when he stopped Chris van Heerden in Manchester
However, now clear to fight again in Britain, against Eubank Jr, Benn is able to make his return to the UK.
In front of 60,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and millions around the world, can Benn win back the love, trust and support of the boxing public to begin his career rebuild?
British title and trilogy fight to feature on the undercard
Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing
There is no surprise that there will be plenty of attention on Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn, but there is an exciting undercard.
Among the contests taking place is the British cruiserweight title fight between Cheavon Clarke and the undefeated Viddal Riley, and the trilogy clash between Anthony Yarde and Lyndon Arthur.
With Yarde and Arthur's rivalry at one win apiece, whoever comes out on top in North London will settle the score once and for all.
