Chris Eubank Jr will be hoping to continue the legacy of father Chris Eubank Sr in the feud, and pick up a win over Conor Benn, as his father did when he fought Nigel Benn in 1990.
As in 2022, the fight in 2025 has kicked off with controversy, as Chris Eubank Jr failed to make the weight and was fined £300,000.
Despite it being Benn who caused the original fight to be cancelled, Eubank Jr has been the talk of the controversy in 2025, also slapping Benn with an egg in the build up.
The fathers of Eubank Jr and Benn fought twice, firstly in a Eubank Sr victory in 1990, then a draw in 1993, with a trilogy fight never agreed.
