New date for Eubank Jr vs Benn rematch confirmed according to reports

As reported by The Ring, a deal for the second fight between Eubank Jr and Benn was made on Tuesday through Sela with November 15 the date, and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium once again the venue. 

The first bout last April is one which lives long in the memory of British fight fans.

Before the opening bell, the crowd went into a frenzy when Chris Eubank Sr appeared alongside his son in North London on fight night despite the pair supposedly being involved in a feud throughout the build-up.

A lot of pressure was placed on this contest after Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn produced two thrilling affairs during the 1990s, and their two sons did the family legacies proud.

It was a fight which had everyone on the edge of their seats and one where the momentum continued to swing for 12 thrilling rounds. 

Eubank Jr would be declared the winner by unanimous decision with scores of 116-112 from all three ringside judges.

It is yet unknown whether this rematch will take place at middleweight like the first bout, but this proved to be a difficult weight cut for Eubank Jr who was filmed using a sauna and missed weight by half a pound the day before the fight.

Missing weight saw the British Boxing Board of Control hit Eubank Jr with a £375,000 fine.
