Eubank Jr, Benn Final Weigh-in Ahead of Anticipated Grudge Match

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn are set to finally face each other in a highly anticipated grudge match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, more than two years after their original bout was canceled due to Benn's failed drug tests. This fight continues a decades-long family rivalry that began with their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, who fought twice in the 1990s. The buildup has been intense, marked by heated press conferences and personal exchanges, but both fighters have downplayed the significance of weight, with Benn stepping up two divisions. After an extended negotiation process complicated by licensing issues and disputes over a rehydration clause, Benn's license was reissued, making the bout possible. The fight will be contested at the middleweight limit of 160lbs, with no rehydration clause, reflecting Eubank Jr's terms. The winner could potentially earn a future fight against Canelo Alvarez, adding further stakes to an already personal and historic confrontation.
