Eubank Jr vs Benn Rematch Nears 2025 Amid Canelo Fight Talks

Chris Eubank Jr's cousin, Harlem Eubank, believes that while a rematch with Conor Benn is possible, the priority should be a legacy-defining fight against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, which Eubank Jr has earned after his recent victory over Benn. Harlem expressed concerns about the weight restrictions placed on Eubank Jr in their first fight against Benn, which led to a significant penalty and affected his performance, and insists that any rematch must address these issues to ensure fighter safety. Despite the potential for a Benn rematch, which is reportedly nearing agreement for 2025, Harlem and Eubank Jr's promoter emphasize the need for sensible weight limits and rehydration clauses to avoid the previous challenges. Meanwhile, Canelo Alvarez is scheduled to face Terence Crawford for the undisputed super-middleweight title in September, meaning a fight with Eubank Jr would likely have to wait until 2026. Harlem remains proud of Eubank Jr's achievements and is preparing for his own upcoming fight, underscoring the ongoing prominence of the Eubank name in boxing. The discussions highlight the balance between pursuing lucrative rivalries and legacy fights while prioritizing fighter health and career timing.
