In Video: Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn to be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office on April 26

Breaking News: Eubank Jr. vs. Benn Set to Ignite the Ring on April 26th

As we bring you live coverage of this evening’s breaking news, we’re excited to announce that Chris Eubank Jr. versus Conor Benn is set to take center stage on Sky Sports Box Office. Dubbed "Fatal Fury," this highly anticipated showdown will take place on April 26th at the prestigious Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The question on everyone’s mind is what’s at stake for these two boxers?

Andy Scott, reporting live from Las Vegas, has been following the hype surrounding this event and shares his expert analysis. "It’s difficult to put a figure on it, but the legacy of the two names alone, Eubank and Benn, is significant. The rivalry between their fathers, Nigel and Chris, dates back many moons ago. Now, in 2025, we’ll finally see Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn face off."

The bad blood between the two fighters is apparent. The first attempted fight in October 2022 was cancelled due to Conor Benn’s failed pre-fight drugs test. This led to a heated press conference, which ended with Chris Eubank Jr. infamously attacking Conor Benn, smashing an egg on his head – an incident that could have cost him £100,000. The drama hasn’t subsided, with more explosive press conferences and public feuding following.

A Clash of Styles

Now, the two fighters are set to meet in the ring, with contrasting styles likely to be on full display. Eubank Jr. is the naturally bigger man, having campaigned at middleweight and super middleweight throughout his career. Benn, on the other hand, has been stepping up in weight from 147 to 154 pounds. Add to that a rehydration clause, limiting Eubank Jr. to a 10-pound weight gain within 24 hours of the weigh-in, and the stage is set for an intriguing battle.

For the winner, the path to glory is clear – they can move on, secure a two-fight deal, and cement their status in the boxing world. However, for the loser, the psychological scars could take a lifetime to heal. "I think Chris Eubank Jr. couldn’t live with losing to Conor Benn, and I don’t know how Conor Benn would cope with losing to Chris Eubank Jr. For all the reasons we’ve mentioned, this is a must-not-lose fight for both."

A Rivalry Born from Fire and Hate

As we count down to the bout, it’s clear that this isn’t just a battle for victory – it’s a battle to settle a long-standing rivalry and prove supremacy. This epic encounter promises to be one for the ages, as two fighters from different generations face off in a thrilling, potentially explosive, and unforgettable contest. Don’t miss "Fatal Fury" on Sky Sports Box Office, live from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26th.
