No sooner had the fortunate 65,000 fans who got to witness Chris Eubank Jr outlast Conor Benn in their middleweight grudge match filed out of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night, than the head of Riyadh Season and chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, Turki Alalshikh, revealed that advanced plans were already in place to fill it again.

The fighters signed a two-fight agreement and, if all goes to plan, everybody will reconvene in London to do it all again in September.

“It looks like it,” Eubank Jr’s promoter, Ben Shalom, told The Ring. “The fixtures just need to line up. We’re waiting on the home and away fixtures but, listen, who wouldn't want to see that again? It was absolutely ridiculous. I’m sure Conor Benn will feel hard done to. What a fight but the deserved winner, Chris Eubank Jr.”

Shalom got as wrapped up as the paying fans in the drama of the whole occasion.

Although he wasn’t representing Eubank Jr when the fight initially fell through all the way back in October 2022, Shalom saw first hand just what the 35 year-old had to put himself through in order to come out on top last night.

“I have to say, a lot of people were picking Benn but I expected it to be an easier fight for Eubank Jr. It became an absolute war, it became a classic,” Shalom said.

“I think after six or seven rounds Chris really realised he was in a serious fight and it just became about grit and determination. That was swinging from the rooftops, literally.

“Absolutely over the moon to see Chris get his hand raised. It’s been a difficult camp, it’s been a difficult time. I think everyone’s seen the pictures, everyone's seen the stories, everyone's seen what he's had to go through. Fair play to Connor Benn because he was phenomenal as well tonight. He really was.”

Eubank Jr’s memorable victory put the cap on a productive week for Shalom and his Boxxer outfit.

Last Sunday, unbeaten Ben Whittaker stopped Liam Cameron in the second round of their light heavyweight rematch in Birmingham to provide a welcome reminder of his star potential.

The show then moved south to North London. Former WBO cruiserweight champion, Chris Billam-Smith, kicked off Saturday night’s massive event and kept his top flight career alive with a hard fought decision over America’s Brandon Glanton and then Viddal Riley skated to the British cruiserweight title with an impressively one-sided decision over the more experienced Chev Clarke.

“We’re absolutely flying,” Shalom said. “Ben Whitaker last week against Queensbury, then tonight Chris-Billam Smith [wins] and Viddal Riley was superb. People talk about how many followers he's got and this and that but he’s just literally cruised to the British title against a European level of opponent in Chev Clarke and then Chris Eubank Jr.

“Four out of four.”
