Eubank Jr vs Benn Fight: Date, UK Time, Undercard, and Methods to Follow this Anticipated Matchup

Let's dive into the heated rivalry brewing between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn, with tensions reaching a boiling point this weekend!

Remember when these two were supposed to face off last October? Conor Benn failed a drug test, causing an immediate postponement and suspension while UK Anti-Doping Agency [UKAD] investigated. After claiming 'overconsumption of eggs' caused the positive test for the female fertility drug clomifene, Benn was eventually cleared to go toe-to-toe with Eubank Jr - but not without raising some eyebrows.

Eubank Jr made headlines during their first face-off by offensively slapping his foe with an egg, sparking a brawl on stage! There's no denying the hatred between these two goes back to the days of Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr, who fought in two epic battles in 1990 and 1993.

During these suspensions and investigations, Eubank Jr has been fighting hard against Liam Smith twice and Kamil Szeremeta. On the flip side, Benn hadn't stepped into the ring since February 2021, outpointing Peter Dobson.

Step into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on April 26 to witness this 12-round middleweight contest. Want to tune in? Don't miss the action on DAZN PPV - learn more about the streaming service and how to purchase the fight here.

This feud doesn't come easy for the senior champions. Eubank Sr has ruled out attending the event, citing the fight as "against the rules" and referring to it as a "circus." On the contrary, Benn's promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that Benn has been in serious training, prepared to settle this score once and for all.

Don't miss out on the drama, action, and excitement as these two rivals finally face off this weekend on DAZN! The undercard will include Liam Smith vs Aaron McKenna, Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur, Chris Billam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton, and Viddal Riley vs Cheavon Clarke.
