Before the end of September, Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn might have a REMATCH. After a furious build-up, Eubank, 35-3 (25 KOs), and Benn, 23-1 (14 KOs), delivered a Fight of the Year contender at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26. Eubank won by a unanimous decision following 12 fierce rounds. Elliott Amoakoh, the manager of Eubank, told talkSPORT that September 27 is the goal date, suggesting that their rivalry will likely continue. Amoakoh affirmed that his client made it clear who he wants next after speaking with Eubank. Amoakoh stated, “I’ve spoken with Chris, shown him a few fighters, and Conor Benn is the fight he wants next.” Saudi deal-maker Turki Alalshikh has offered Eubank a chance to win the undisputed super-middleweight title if Eubank defeats Benn twice in a row. “Hopefully, we defeat Conor Benn, Canelo defeats Terence Crawford, and then they’ll take it on.” That concludes the current round of negotiations. “We were promised it by Turkey,” Amoakoh continued. “Here we go, Eubank Jr-Canelo, if Chris Eubank Jr. succeeds in that. We want that, therefore once we defeat Conor Benn, we want Canelo. Since defeating a past-his-prime James DeGale in February 2019, Eubank has not participated in super-middleweight competitions. The Brighton boxer has since won seven of his last eight fights; the only defeat he suffered was in January 2023 against Liam Smith, which he exacted revenge on eight months later. Nine days before to the possible rematch date, on September 18, the 35-year-old will celebrate his next birthday. In 14 years and 38 fights, Eubank has not yet won one of the four recognized world titles. In 2015, he won the WBA Interim Middleweight title, which he reclaimed in 2019. But in February 2018, he lost to WBA super-middleweight champion George Groves in his lone attempt to win the world title.
