In a dramatic accent, which stunned the British boxing scene, the season of the Riyadh season and the partner of the event Sela returned to the stage with a highly expected rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. And Conor Bennem, with London in the competition for the hit November event.

The latest development took place despite the unambiguous public statement made by the Ring Turki Alalshikha magazine only a few days ago, strongly distancing the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and his promotional weapons from any involvement in a controversial duel.

The ring said: “Both Riyadh and Sela season are no longer involved in the rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn.”

To add an exclamation mark, they said: “The ring is not involved in the Eubank-Lin rematch.”

Reversing shock for eubank vs benn 2

It seemed that the message closed the door on every Saudi ground to fight still fresh in the memory of a sensational night at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

However, something has changed behind the scenes.

Not for the first time Alalshikh issued such a statement. He did it with Saga Dana White Canelo vs Crawford, which seems to be his way to name people Blef.

Over the past few days, Benn has accused Eubank JR of delaying the rematch agreement, and now, when the Riyjad and Sela season are once again studying their commitment, with a full promotional return is apparently on the table.

“The Riyadh and Sela season are considering the option to organize Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn Rematch in November, London,” said The Ring.

Return!

November in London

Despite the prior understanding that Sela closed on September 20 at the Wembley stadium to fight, the directed date moved to November 2025, when renovated discussions about the place and trading partners took place.

If the event took place in London under the banner of Sela, this would be another unusual phrase for Alalshikh.

The bad blood between Eubank and Bennem intensified only since the fate was scrapped by their unfortunate competition in October 2022 during the fight week.

After months of attitude and negotiations, the couple finally paid out in April 2025 in the fight against the year, and Eubank won a dramatic victory before the sold -out arena O2.

While Eubank briefly considered retiring, the bait of one last mega withdrawals – in combination with Benna’s relentless indifference – brought conversations back to the table.

Now, with potentially restored support from Saudi Arabia, the fight is set to continue at the stadium level worthy of a name.
