On Saturday, two-and-a-half years since they had been scheduled to meet Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn will meet in a middleweight contest. The massive U.K. grudge match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London.

The two-family names have been entwined since their fathers fought two epic fights in the early 1990s. Chris Eubank Sr. relieved Nigel Benn of his WBO middleweight title by stopping his rival in nine-round in an instant classic in November 1990. The two met three-years later up at super middleweight. This time Benn appeared to do enough to win, only for the fight to end in a controversial 12-round draw.

Now, the next generation, will look to defend their families on honor in a highly anticipated showdown dubbed: "The Ring's Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves" which will be broadcast on DAZN Pay-Per-View at 2 p.m. ET/ 11 a.m. PT and in the U.K. and Ireland on DAZN Pay-Per-View at 7 p.m.

Eubank Jr., rated at No. 5 by The Ring at middleweight, moved to Las Vegas and learned his trade before turning professional. Once he turned over, he won his first 18 fights against non-descript opposition. However, when he stepped up, he only narrowly lost to the much more experienced Billy Joe Saunders (UD 12).

He stepped up to 168 pounds and bested two division beltholder Arthur Abraham (UD 12) and Avni Yildirim (KO 3) before dropping a decision to George Groves (UD 12) in the World Boxing Super Series tournament. Eubank Jr. bounced back with a win over former titleholder James DeGale (UD 12) and has since dropped back down to 160 pounds. He floored Liam Williams four times en route to a wide 12-round unanimous decision. That lead to a surprise loss to Liam Smith (TKO 4) but he exacted revenge (TKO 10) in a rematch and, most recently, he stopped Kamil Szeremeta (TKO 7).

Benn, who has spent the majority of his career at welterweight, initially looked on the road to nowhere. However, he showed his father's fighting spirit, stuck to the task in hand, and to his immense credit, he has proved to be a chip off the old block. The 28-year-old is very aggressive and heavy-handed.

He has shown that vaunted power against Samuel Vargas (TKO 1), former world champion Chris Algieri (KO 4) and perennial contender Chris Van Heerden (TKO 2). However, a shadow emerged over his career when he tested positive for Clomifene and had a much-publicized battle with the BBBofC. After fighting a suspension, Benn returned 17-months later and has beaten Rodolfo Orozco (UD 10) and Peter Dobson (UD 12).

Eubank (34-3, 25 knockouts) is naturally the bigger man, but can he safely make the rehydration clause of 170-pounds? Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) is younger and fresher but has never fought as high in weight as this. Will he be able to successfully bulk up? Eubank is most comfortable boxing on the backfoot, while Benn is a more aggressive fighter. Can Eubank play matador or will Benn be able to fight at a pace that Eubank won't be comfortable with? The family rivalry figures to play a big part in proceedings. Who will deal with those pressures better?

Online gambling group William Hill lists Eubank Jr as an 4/7 (-175) favorite, while Benn is priced at 8/5 (+160); the draw is 16/1 (+1600).

Here's how the experts see it:

"When the fight was announced two years ago, I liked Benn. He had good momentum and the 157-pound catchweight was in his favour. I still give Conor a chance here, but he's lost momentum, and Eubank won't be as drained at 160. The 10-pound rehydration clause could have an effect, but I think Eubank can handle it and perform well for 12 rounds. Benn couldn't dispose of two mediocre welterweights in his most recent bouts. His offense is formidable, but he throws everything with power and I think Eubank will catch on to his rhythm defensively. After four or five rounds, Conor's attacks will fade, and then Eubank can impose his superior boxing skills for the remainder of the fight. The build-up has been dazzling, but I think the fight will see a safety-first Eubank win a unanimous decision in a ho-hum affair."

ANSON WAINWRIGHT: EUBANK JR. UD

"The third rendition of the Eubank-Benn family feud. The first two were when the fathers met in a pair of heated confrontations in the 90s. Now it's the sons turn. I expect fireworks fight week during the build-up, which promises to be must watch. They fight at the middleweight limit, unlike the first fight that was cancelled fight week when they were due to meet at 157. The rehydration clause of 170 could be interesting. However, there is a reason for weight classes and I can't see past that, and for that reason, I side with Eubank to win a late stoppage or on points after letting Benn blow himself out after an aggressive start."

"This fight has really captured the younger generations imagination. A sellout crowd. The question is can these two possibly live up to the hype? We know what their fathers produced in their epic battle. My gut feeling is no, we are clearly not looking at two of the best fighters in their respective weights, not even the best in this country. However, they are undoubtedly two of the most popular fighters in this country and popularity puts bums on seats. Benn has boxed at welterweight his whole career, while Eubank has boxed at middleweight most of his whole career. Can Benn jump two weight divisions and compete with the bigger man? A good big one beats a good little one. I think that's what we will see here. Eubank to win possibly by stoppage."

"I am leaning towards Eubank, Jr, I like the fact that he lost to Smith and came back and stopped him. I think Benn not fighting for over a year is going to hurt him, but I can also see Benn boxing more and not making it easy for Eubank. I think in the end the public is going to feel one of them won, but in the end, it will be a draw. I think they are on the same level, and this is a evenly matched fight."

This one is as personal as it gets. I am very interested in the fight for all the drama and the next chapter in the rivalry. Logic says Eubank should win as the bigger man, but as we know in boxing there is no logic. I see an aggressive start from both fighters to see who can establish control. Benn needs to get inside while Eubank will try to get Conor on the outside. I do see the fight going the distance and after a few rough rounds with fouls the fight is dominated in the second half by Conor Benn. Winner by 12-round unanimous decision Conor Benn."

"If this fight had taken place even earlier than the original 2022 date, it would've been considered a mismatch with Eubank favored in almost every way. I'm wondering if time and weight fluctuations might have levelled the playing field in between. Of course the first fight was abandoned last minute with Benn failing two doping tests, findings he has still to explain or answer for in any way. Subsequent to those VADA findings, Benn hasn't seemingly fought with his previous violence or vigour but that maybe a coincidence. It’s questionable where Benn fits in at world level and never of course at middleweight so he's bang up against it here. The light for him is Eubank's sustained battle against the scales, perhaps leaving the Brighton man susceptible late in his career. We saw it against Liam Smith and I thought there were glimpses last time too. If that proves a red herring then Eubank should dominate this on the cards but it’s definitely on my mind. Eubank by decision."

"Very intriguing fight. Not sure how this rehydration clause may affect Eubank. If it’s not a problem, my thinking is Benn will come out aggressive and try to get a knockout early. Eubank is intelligent in and outside of the ring and I believe he has Benn emotionally wrecked already, just with the lead up to the fight. I believe Eubank when he says he couldn’t care less about being hated. I see Eubank being relaxed at the beginning and just picking his shots and maybe being behind the first half just from Benn throwing more punches and him just being cautious. The weight, experience in big fights will be the difference along with not letting his emotions get in the way to score a late stoppage."

"It's gonna be hard for Benn to get past that height and range advantage Eubank has over him, not to mention the championship experience, but I think he finds a way. I see Benn stopping Eubank in a fight that he’s behind on points and losing. Dramatic prediction. But that’s how I see it."

"We don't know how dropping down in weight will affect Jnr. So, if he can make it through the early rounds then I think Benn by late stoppage."

"I find it a difficult fight to analyze. First of all, Eubank Jr.'s performances are unstable, he was at times impressive and sometimes disappointing. But I think that the difference in size between the two boxers will be a very important factor because Benn moves up not only one category but two.

Also, so far in their respective careers Eubank Jr. has faced much better opposition. For these two factors, I favor Eubank Jr but giving an exact prediction is rather difficult because we don't know at which level Benn is at especially to this weight. We have never really seen him in adversity yet. I risk a prediction with a late stoppage. Eubank Jr. TKO 9."

"This fight brings an interesting twist: Conor Benn is moving up two weight classes from where he normally competes, but the added weight might actually work in his favor. Meanwhile, Chris Eubank Jr. has spent his entire career fighting at middleweight, where he’s experienced three losses along the way. The younger, unbeaten Benn will need to stay sharp, if he’s going to pull this off. He'll have to rely on quick, powerful left hooks and straight rights to Eubank’s head, keeping relentless pressure on him every second of every round. On the other side, Eubank will need to work behind his sharp left jab and look for opportunities to land uppercuts as Benn tries to close the distance. If Eubank manages to hurt Benn, he'll need to jump on him immediately and push for the finish. That said, I believe Benn's toughness will shine through. He's likely to absorb the hard shots coming his way, fire back with counters, and edge out rounds by staying busier. In the end, I see Conor Benn pulling off a hard-fought split decision victory."

"There's a lot of noise, emotion, and craziness surrounding this fight. Throw that on top of the legacy aspect with their father's history, and it leads one to think there could be some bizarre stuff that erupts during the course of the battle. I hope that is not the case. So I'm trying to break it down just on the aspects of the fight, the styles of the two, and the techniques which will be used. Eubank Jr. has seen a complete evolution of style during his career and become a much more mature fighter. Benn has refined his relentlessness to a degree, but not as dramatically as Eubank has changed. Normally, I side with a fighter who is moving forward, with an aggressive approach, looking to break down the boxer. Not this time though. I think Junior is going to dictate the distance and style in which this fight will be contested. Chris will control most of the action with his jab, and frequent combinations. He will nullify the terrific follow-up rights that Conor throws after he jabs. I can even see Eubank hurting Benn badly with his right uppercuts when Connor charges forward. Benn will have his moments, perhaps even score a knockdown, but Chris Eubank's size, skill and technique will result in a unanimous decision victory."

"I'm going to go with Eubank on a very emotional 12-round decision. I think he might have some rocky moments along the way, but ultimately, I think his experience will be a deciding factor as well as the fact that having seen them in public together, I think Eubank is a little too big for that guy."

"Can't see Benn winning. In any fashion. Especially now that he’s off the juice. Eubank points."

"It's a massive fight. The ticket sales have been off the charts and a lot of that rather than being down to the levels of the fighters, both are very, very good, I would say maybe you wouldn't say world class. So, for two guys who aren't world class to be selling out a football stadium so quickly, just shows you how big this fight is. A lot of it is down to the fathers before and their rivalry. I think you've got to give the boys a lot of credit to. Benn, his personality, very, very aggressive, a bit like the old man. Eubank Jr. is very, very smart. To be honest, I wouldn't say I was the biggest fan of him in the world up until the last few months but now I've become a Eubank Jr. fan boy! You've seen him in the interviews at the press conference and it looks like he's controlling it. You've got Eddie Hearn who is very smart, normally if some if firing abuse at Eddie, he's able to able to give it back and own them a little bit but not Eubank Jr. and we saw what happened with the Piers Morgan interview with Benn and Eubank. Piers Morgan is someone who has been involved in massive interviews with politicians and superstars and he always holds his own and I think Eubank Jr. bossed that whole thing with Piers Morgan, kind of put him in his place a wee bit. I'm really looking forward to fight week, I think it's going to be unbelievable. I think there's some more time to see more chaos. It is a difficult one, a lot of its down to the weight. I don't think Eubank should be a middleweight anymore, I think he needs to be a super middleweight. His last couple of performances, he didn't look great. His last one he didn't look very good at all. He wouldn't be the biggest super middleweight but he has boxed there, he's has fought some big names at super middleweight. As you get older rather than coming back you down in weights you should be going up, your metabolism slows down and it's tougher for you to make the weight. I think the weight might hurt Eubank. I want to see what he's like on the scales before I make a definitive prediction but right at this point, I think I would edge Eubank on points. The 10-pound rehydration clause, it's going to be really, really difficult for Eubank to stay within that 10-pound limit. I have a feeling he doesn't and pays some sort of fine."

"I'm very excited for the fight. I think it’s a tremendous event not just for boxing but for sporting fans in general. If what I understand is correct and there's a rehydration clause depending on how that rehydration clause affects Eubank Jr., if he rehydrates fairly comfortably, I got Eubank Jr. I just think it’s gonna be too much size. Obviously, if he’s completely drained then Conor could win. I think everything is really dependent on that but straight up across the board Chris Eubank Jr."

"I think you have to look at factual evidence. And Eubank has boxed up at 168-pounds against big punchers like George Groves and Artur Abraham. He’s also boxed against slick boxers in Billy Joe Saunders and James Degale. Conor Benn has some decent names on his record but not on the same level as Eubank. OK Eubank’s punch resistance looked like it was no longer what it once was against Liam Smith but he has since avenged that defeat. Benn hasn't looked as explosive in his last two fights against opponents at junior middleweight, so I don't envisage that moving up to 160-pounds will help that. I'm going with Eubank on points but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was inside the distance."

"I like Eubank here, quite simply he's the more battle tested fighter. Also, size and weight classes matter. Benn is more or less a natural welterweight, while Eubank has competed as high as super middleweight. Eubank wins a clear cut decision."

"It's all about the weight category. Eubank Jr. territory. He is bigger and has more experience. Benn's aggression and power will make it a fun fight. Eubank Jr. wins a close unanimous decision."

"I will side with Eubank Jr. He's more in control and has good boxing skills. Emotions will get in the way of Benn and he will make a mistake here and there that Eubank will counter and have success doing so. It's a close fight and there may just be a rematch that we'll all want to watch because it's a good and close fight. Eubank Jr. 12-round split decision."
