Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will settle their bitter feud at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 26th April.
The British rivals have finally agreed terms for their much-anticipated showdown, with Turki Alalshikh revealing that the match will be the headliner of the season's events in Riyadh, North London.
Eubank Jr and Benn – the sons of arch-rivals Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn – were originally due to face each other in October 2022, only for the latter to fail two drug tests.

Benn's license was revoked by the British Boxing Board of Control, but the suspensions were lifted last November after the National Anti-Doping Commission said it was “not satisfied” the 28-year-old had committed a doping offence.
Since the canceled fight more than two years ago, Eubank Jr has lost to Liam Smith, but won a rematch in 2023 and fought just once in 2024, with a stoppage win over Kamil Szeremet.
