The ring tear-ups between Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr. in 1990 (NEC, Birmingham) and 1993 (Old Trafford, Manchester) were two of the most memorable all-British boxing encounters in history. They were watched by passionate and vocal crowds at the venues as well as millions at home on terrestrial TV (ITV).
The Dark Destroyer from Ilford and Brighton’s eccentric yet intriguing pugilist, dubbed ‘Simply the Best’, may have both hung up their gloves a long, long time ago, but the Benn and Eubank family feud has been reignited in recent times. Their respective sons, Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr., have now taken up the boxing batons. The pair had been due to meet originally at the O2 Arena in October 2022, but the much-anticipated clash had to be postponed after Benn’s positive drug test. While the postponement infuriated fight fans, it has added to the anticipation and hype, and when it was subsequently announced that the ring rivals would be getting it on this April, there was an unprecedented surge to secure tickets for ‘Fatal Fury’ at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Getty ImagesAt 35, Chris Eubank Jr. is the senior fighter of the pair by seven years, and he‘ll be hoping to use that experience to his advantage. While the unbeaten Benn is yet to be involved in a title fight of any sort, Eubank Jr has had numerous belt bouts, including just last October, where he stopped Kamil Szeremeta to claim the IBO World middleweight crown. What Conor Benn lacks in experience, he makes up for in grit and determination. He’s looking to propel his career forward and knows a good performance against his arch-rival will grab the attention of a worldwide audience.
The middleweight bout between Benn and Eubank Jr. may be the feature contest on the April 26 card, but there are plenty of other British boxing stars on show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, including Anthony Yarde, Lyndon Arthur, Liam Smith and Chris Billam-Smith. It’s all set up to be a thrilling night of action, so let GOAL give you all the vital information you need ahead of the standout event, including full details of the fight card and how you can watch and stream all the live action.
