Boxing rivals Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn came face-to-face once again earlier today (Weds., Sept. 17, 2025) at the conclusion of their kickoff press conference<\/a>. Both fighters have begun the campaign trail for their highly-anticipated rematch<\/a>, which is set to go down on Sat., Nov. 15, 2025 at Tottenham Stadium in London.<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr. delivered one of the best outings of his storied career in their first encounter back in April as the Middleweight veteran handed Benn his first professional loss<\/a> in a 12-round \u201cFight of the Year\u201d contender (see it again here<\/a>). In defeat, Benn \u2014 who was fighting in the division for the first time \u2014 showed heart and skill, and his performance was good enough to earn him a chance for revenge.<\/p>\n

The two warriors have a bitter history<\/a> that was evident once again at the presser, though it seems the drama was a bit more intense between Eubank Jr. and Benn\u2019s promoter, Eddie Hearn, as the two men spent the majority of the time going back and forth with one another<\/a>. As for Eubank Jr. and Benn, their staredown went on for close to 90 seconds before they eventually broke eye contact.<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr. missed weight for their first fight<\/a>, which cost him half a million of his purse that went straight into Benn\u2019s bank account. As the two adversaries embark on their press tour for the rematch, we can expect more heated exchanges between the two camps which may, or may not, include eggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
