Plans To Stage Eubank Jr-Benn II Already In Motion As Turki Alalshikh Targets September Back At Spurs
The wheels are already in motion for a late September Tottenham Hotspur rematch between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn following their breathless 12-round war on Saturday night.

The pair served up a contest befitting the huge pre-fight hype with Eubank eventually claiming a hard-fought unanimous decision in the main event of The Ring’s Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves card.

And given the quality of the back-and-forth battle, which drew a crowd in excess of 65,000 to the sold-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, thoughts quickly turned towards an immediate rematch.

Eubank and Benn initially signed a two-fight deal so all terms are already agreed for a return should both men decide to go again.

And now HE Turki Alalshikh, head of Riyadh Season, has confirmed that he plans to stage the second fight back at Tottenham with a late September showdown in the works already.

Immediately after Saturday night’s fight, he told The Ring’s Mike Coppinger: “If they’re not injured and ready, we want the rematch in late September at Tottenham.

“The British fans were amazing and I thank them.”

Given the stadium plays host to Spurs games, a final decision on the date may have to wait until the 2025/26 Premier League fixtures are released in June if the rematch is to take place back at the stadium.

There is an international break on the weekend of September 7 but that may come just too early for Eubank and Benn, who will both need time to recover in the wake of the 12 exhausting rounds they shared.

But it will still be a quick turnaround compared to the rematch their famous fathers had back in 1993. Chris Eubank Sr had stopped Nigel Benn in the ninth round of their initial encounter on November 18, 1990 but it was not until the October of 1993 that they did it again, with a staggering television audience of more than 15 million tuning in to watch them share a split draw over 12 rounds at Old Trafford.

As a result of Saturday’s encounter, the Eubank family are now 2-0 up against the Benns with one drawn. Now it looks likely that 28-year-old Conor will get the fourth and final attempt to register a win for his family this September.
