Bragging rights won't be all that's on the line when Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn finally fight this spring. A shot at Saul 'Canelo Alvarez' will also be in the offing for the winner.  

Eubank Jr (34-3, 25 KOs) and Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) will clash on April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on what will be Ring Magazine's first ever boxing card titled ‘FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves’.

The fight will be part of a unique collaboration with SNK Games, who created the FATAL FURY gaming series. The show will also be in association with Matchroom and Boxxer.

Benn is jumping two weight classes to contend with a career middleweight in Eubank Jr, who has also competed at super-middleweight previously.

Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) is the current WBA/WBO/WBC and Ring champion at 168 pounds, and he could soon be undisputed once again following his bout with IBF titlist William Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) on May 3 in Riyadh.

Earlier this month, Alvarez sensationally signed a four-fight deal with head of Riyadh Season and chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, Turki Alashikh.

The fight with Scull represents Alvarez's first call of duty, and a mega-clash with Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) is likely to take place in September.

There'll be at least two more fights after that for the Mexican in 2026, however, and one of those may be against the winner of Eubank Jr vs Benn, according to Alashikh.

"Whoever is the winner we are working in the future to have him fight against Canelo," he told Sky Sports.

"If Eubank wins, he will have the chance to do Canelo at the beginning of 2026.

"We have two big conferences, one in Manchester on Tuesday, and one in London on Thursday, it will be huge.

"And I think it will be a great fight. And also the undercard is strong. The result of this fight and the undercard will impact the future of our cards."

Benn has never fought above the 147-pound limit before and his most notable wins have come against Samuel Vargas, Chris Algieri and Chris van Heerden. 

In October 2022, before Benn was supposed to fight Eubank Jr, he tested positive for banned substance Clomifene in two separate Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) tests. 

He was provisionally suspended but last November his suspension was withdrawn after UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) revealed the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) was 'not comfortably satisfied' with it and the British Boxing Board of Control's (BBBofC) assertion an anti-doping violation had been committed.
