According to The Ring, Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn have “reached an agreement” for a rematch to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15. In their first fight, Eubank Jr. won a unanimous decision over Benn.
Now that the rematch between Chris Eubank and Conor Benn has been announced, let's look back at how their first fight ended.
Chris Eubank Jr's rematch with Conor Benn is now scheduled for Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15.
The British rivals have “reached an agreement” for a second fight, according to The Ring magazine, and will renew their rivalry after Eubank Jr. won a tense points victory at the same venue in April.
Talks between the fighters appeared to have stalled last month, with Benn claiming he was considering alternative options after a deal failed to be reached for a rematch in September, but the fight will now take place before the end of the year.

The British Boxing Board of Control has fined Eubank Jr £10,000 for misuse of social media after posting footage of him using a sauna to make weight.
Benn admitted he needs to be “less emotional” when he steps into the ring again against his British opponent.
“I'm going to go in there and attack him without hesitation. Just like the first time, less emotionally, let's say,” he told Sky Sports last month.
Conor Benn suggests Chris Eubank Jr is 'scared' of taking a rematch.
“You see, less heart, more mind.
“I felt like I was focused on winning during the fight. I was ready 30 seconds before each round. I was on my feet, ready to fight.
“Pay attention to my behavior and his: which of us is in a depressed state?
“I'm happy to get back into training and be more prepared. I've gained experience, learned lessons, and I'm going to get back and do this.”
