Chris Eubank SR defeated Nigel Benn in 1990 to win the WBO title of Medium Libra through the ninth round of TKO, while Nigel was able to maintain the enemy for renovation in the 1993 rematch. And now it’s time for the next generation to decide its own result in the world of boxing. Eubank Jr, can boast of an amazing 34-3 record in battle, winning the world championships in medium weight and super-medium weight.
Meanwhile, Benn enters the ring with a flawless 23-0 record in welterweight and hopes that victory on a much more experienced opponent will put him in the photo for his own world championships. While Eubank Jr and Benn usually fight at a distance of 13 pounds because of their divisions, the fight on Saturday evening will take place in 160 pounds.

The tensions reached the peak between them during the meeting in February, in which Eubank Jr hit the opponent with an egg before they were separated-adding personal fury to the highly highly competitive sport.
However, the Headliner Eubank JR against Benn is not the only highly invigorating duel that will land during this event. Anthony Yarde back for the third time with Lyndon Arthur in co-main, they both won from the previous two matches.
Yarde suffered a loss through a divided decision to Arthur during the first meeting in December 2020, after which he improved his enemy almost a year later. Elsewhere, 33-4-1 Liam Smith will face Aaron McKenna in ponderous lightweight.
Smith recently survived a few duels from Eubank Jr, winning his first meeting in January 2023 with TKO in the fourth round before he suffered in December in December. Meanwhile, McKenna has an excellent 19-0 record in a fight, which he will hope to defend against the former world champion.

Speaking about Froch on the fights podcastiesTwo -time super middle WBC champion said: “Fury, if he comes out of a pension, the only fight will really be compelling for fans, the only fight I want to see personally is that he is fighting Anthony Joshu.
“But it will be the one that people want to see. He will probably still fill Wembley, but as a boxing purist, as a lover of this sport, did I worry if Tyson Fury never enters the ring with Anthony Joshua? I will be candid, I will not.
“AJ was flattened, ironed several times. We saw him lost to Andy Ruiz, he lost his soul and never regained it. He returned with Jermaine Franklin, Robert Heleniusz, he also defeated Otto Wallin, and then Francis Ngannou, MMA Fighter.
“These four fights really flattered AJ, but they never really tested him. He was never planted at Kosh, he never had to fight there with anyone who was swinging, tried to take him. The moment he was coming with someone who was alive, with a pulse that tried to do him, what happened, what happened?
The defeat of Joshua by Dubois was his fourth professional boxing career. While he was detained by Andy Ruiz in his first failure of his career, the loss with his friend with the British did not return to Count 10 for the first time. Froch believes that Joshua may be too mentally damaged by this fight to accept a warrior as unsafe as Fury, despite the fact that the latter came from two losses for Usyk.
Froch added: “It was a final career performance. It was a finish. It was, mentally, physically, he had been in the ring for a long time. It will be between September and Grudt for a year when Anthony Joshua will return.
“He also talks about the elbow surgery, so if he has an elbow surgery, he will throw him to the next two or three months. The way he occurred against the Utyk, and then was flattened by Dubois, I just feel that he is a disaster waiting for the event.
“For me it is an uncomplicated win for a cart. For me I don’t care who wins, I don’t have a favorite for this fight. Tyson Fury is in better shape. He had stinking against Ngannou, but his two fights with Uyk show me that he still has it and is still good enough and is still capable.”
