Eddie Hearn hints at date and venue for Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn 2

Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn 2 details

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn fought nail and tooth in a modern-day classic last weekend in London and now new details have emerged about the contracted rematch.

Eubank Jr was victorious at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on April 26, winning via unanimous decision.

Matchroom Boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn, who has looked after Conor Benn since his pro debut, shared everything he knows so far about their rematch.

"The future is massive for Conor Benn, the contract was a two-fight contract, the rematch is already contracted and done,” Hearn told Matchroom’s YouTube channel .

“I said in the press conference after, 'we'll have to look at the weight classes and that,' but Conor said to me on Sunday night, 'you thought that was a war? Wait until you see the rematch!' We're confident in terms of what Saturday will give him.

“The activity, the confidence, the weight, everything, he’s ready to go now! He’s back in the gym. We have to look, I want Conor to be a world champion, he’s proved he’s a world class fighter. But the rematch is twice as big as the first one.

“The numbers are huge, No.2 will break records across the board. That’s what we signed up for, we’re in. We’ll wait for a date from His Excellency, he’s already made it clear, I think he’s said, ‘end of September back at Tottenham Hotspur’. Let us know the date and we’ll be there.”

Eubank Jr was later discharged from hospital and took to X to thank the fans for making the “once in a lifetime event” happen.

He wrote: "Well, it took nearly three years but we finally got the job done.

"Big shout out to everyone that supported the fight on Saturday & made it the once in a lifetime event that it was… without the fans none of this is possible, thank you."

Benn has already returned to training since coming out on the losing side of his firefight with Eubank Jr, posting videos of himself back in the gym. The 28-year-old from Essex also shared his views on the match, believing he should have won by a point .

Benn said in the post-fight press conference that he is eager to get a rematch sorted, with terms reportedly already agreed, but would also be content with going back down to welterweight and fighting for WBC gold.
