Swiftly after Chris Eubank Jr.’s hand was raised in the centre of the pitch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26, it became clear that both he and Conor Benn would press ahead with the contracted rematch.

So now, nearly seven months on, the pair will go at it again in the very same ring at the very same stadium in the fourth installment of the Eubank-Benn rivalry, which started way back in 1990.

Benn, the younger, smaller man was scored a reasonably clear loser by all three judges on the night so it will be down to him to provoke a swing on the cards in the rematch - or produce the knockout finish he promised in the spring.

Boxing history is full of rematches which have turned out to be a case of revenge rather than repeat, but what will Benn have to do to ensure the same happens for him?

Last fight: Of course, Benn’s last outing was that defeat to Eubank in their initial meeting at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A raucous crowd inside the venue provided the perfect backdrop for a grudge match of this nature and Benn and Eubank delivered for them in spades.

However, once the 12 rounds were complete, all three judges agreed that Eubank was the winner, returning identical 116-112 cards to hand Benn the first defeat of his career.

Odds: Given he lost the first fight and remains the notably smaller man in the rematch, Benn has been installed as the underdog once again. Most places price him at around 6/4 (+150) but some have him slightly closer to evens at 13/10 (+130).

How does Benn win? This fight is all about two questions: who grew most from the first fight and who did the first fight take most out of?

You could argue that the answer to the first question is Benn. In his first ever fight at middleweight, in what was his first outing on UK soil for two years, Benn will have learned a lot. He is also only 29 and will have further benefited from another laser-focused camp where he will not have had to worry about cutting weight but just getting bigger, stronger and more powerful.

Eubank, on the other hand, failed to make the agreed weight for the first fight and, at 36, will have no doubt battled hard to get down to 160 pounds again for this one. This will be Eubank's 39th fight and if Benn is to win he will need his opponent, the bigger, stronger, more experienced campaigner, to have aged from the first fight. If the answer to the second question is Eubank, it will open the door for Benn to turn the tide in his favour this time around.

He also openly admits that his ‘head fell off’ during the first fight and, overwhelmed by the occasion, he fought with his heart and not his head. He missed a lot, disregarding his skills in favour of a brawl. He was also genuinely certain that he would stop Eubank early so was not expecting such a long fight.

This time, now he knows what he’s up against, he could box a more clever fight, hurt Eubank when he gets an opening and then look to make his freshness count down the stretch. In another close 12-rounder that could make a huge difference on the cards.

What does it mean if Benn wins? Not only would it be the biggest win of Benn’s career by a country mile, it would also finally secure his family’s first victory against a Eubank after 35 years of trying. At present, Eubank Sr. and Jr. have won once each while the rematch between the two dads, Chris Sr. and Nigel Benn, back in 1993 ended in a draw. A Benn win on Saturday would therefore be colossal in the context of the long-running feud.

For his career right now, it would be equally significant. Benn has already said he plans to drop back down to his natural weight of 147 pounds and he would have far greater grounds for a world title shot off the back of a win against Eubank.

What they’re saying: “I’m excited and I feel very differently this time around; both emotionally and physically. I feel a lot better and more prepared. You’ve got to remember in the first fight the emotions and tensions were running high but things have changed this time around.

“I felt strong in that first fight but the weight was wrong, the preparation for the fight was not optimal and the tactics were wrong. I thought my intensity would be too much for him but he wasn’t overwhelmed by it. Now I believe I know exactly what I have to do and it’s up to me to go out there and prove it.” - Conor Benn talking to The Ring.
