Eubank Jr, Benn Confirm Middleweight Rematch September London

News summary

Eddie Hearn is actively seeking a significant welterweight title fight for Jack Catterall following his technical decision win over Harlem Eubank Jr., although some doubt Catterall's readiness for a world title shot. Meanwhile, the highly anticipated rematch between British boxing rivals Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn is set for September 20 in London under the same weight terms as their first bout, including a 160lb middleweight limit and a 170lb rehydration clause. Eubank Jr. was previously fined for missing weight but has not requested any renegotiation of the terms, which are part of a two-fight contract signed ahead of their initial fight. Benn has expressed ongoing personal animosity toward Eubank Jr., criticizing his choice to fight at welterweight and questioning his willingness to face opponents at his natural weight. Despite concerns over Eubank Jr.'s dangerous weight cut and the controversy surrounding it, both fighters and promoters emphasize the intensity and demand for their rematch. Hearn remains confident the rematch will deliver a high-action contest, potentially surpassing the excitement of their first fight.
