Chris Eubank Jr takes on Conor Benn at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a fight more than three decades in the making this weekend.
Eubank Jr. the current IBO middleweight titleholder, has won eight of his past nine fights, while Benn remains undefeated after 23 professional bouts. The duo were scheduled to fight in 2022, but the event was postponed after Benn tested positive for clomifene.
