Follow Daily Mail Sport’s live blog for the latest updates and result as Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn face off in the latest chapter of their rivalry, with Riath Al-Samarrai reporting from the stadium.

ROUND FIVE: Benn smelling blood

Come on, Eubank. Not that I’m necessarily cheering him on, but just show us something.

Barry Jones on commentary for DAZN is questioning whether this is one fight too many for Eubank. Maybe too early to say that, but he is being schooled.

He is throwing but missing. A jab and an uppercut.

A good left jab from Benn as the crowd urge him on.

A bit better with a low jab, but he is feeling for it.

Benn then fires in two strong shots – Eubank laughs. The first signs of a real attack that we have seen.

ROUND FOUR: Benn well on top

They are starting to slog it out a bit more now. We are in a fight. It was a weird start from Eubank.

Good left jab from Benn. Then they exchange good lefts. Looks like the right eye of Eubank could be swelling…

He tried for a right hook but misses. Another body shot from Benn.

ROUND THREE: Eubank Jr wakes up!

Benn lands another jab early. He’s throwing that shot a lot more than he did in the first fight.

Eubank is now trying to come forward a little bit more. He narrowly misses a big uppercut but then lands a left on the back foot.

Eubank hits the deck, but he’s pushed over. Much closer, now, with Eubank now getting his hands going.

ROUND TWO: Eubank Jr struggling to settle

Bo Mac is telling Eubank to relax in his corner. Benn’s round first up, for sure.

Benn hits the deck but it’s no knockdown. Benn bundled over, really. Kevin Parker wants a word with both men. It’s quite a long one.

Benn is throwing a lot here and hits another good body shot.

The Destroyer is looking very quick here. Eubank is silent, not really moving much, and on the back foot. Is it deliberate?

Either way, I think it may be two rounds to Benn.

ROUND ONE: Benn on the front foot

It’s Benn on the front foot early, with the loser of the last fight taking the centre.

A good body shot from Benn as we pass the minute mark. Eubank being very selective with his shots.

Really good from Benn. Quick shots but then he eats one from Eubank.

Benn goes for a big shot and it gets a bit scrappy as referee Kevin Parker calls for them to separate.

A decent first round. Both men looking comfortable.

We are underway!

There’s a pause for a round of applause for Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, and we are just about ready to get underway here.

Cheers for Benn. Boos for Eubank. That has changed a little since last time.

One final pep talk from both fathers. Chris nods his head. Conor confident.

And the first bell rings. A roar from the crowd.

Talk about A-listers…

Good evening, gentlemen…

Just James Bond and Rod Stewart. No worries.

Rod didn’t seem too impressed with 50 Cent, though!

Here’s Eubank Jr – and 50 Cent!

We are hearing there has been a delay backstage. Games until the very end!

LOUD boos for Eubank Jr. Here he comes!

It’s the usual Still D.R.E. for him, until 50 Cent comes out! Riath said he was there!

The Eubanks walk with pure swagger. What a dynasty. We spoke about proud fathers…

A warning that there is strong language in the below video.

‘It’s a fun touch’I’m a pretty cynical soul on a variety of boxing topics, but any ring walk that involves a marching band of drummers is a fun touch in my book. Hat tip to Benn.We still await Eubank Jr

It’s a nice moment seeing Conor and Nigel together. That is one proud father.

Benn finishes his walk on by being drummed to the ring, and the crowd is on his side here. So keen to see if he can get revenge here.

It’s going on a long time, I can’t lie.

Benn makes his way to the ring

After Sweet Caroline plays, MC Adam Smith takes control as the crowd lets out a huge cheer.

It’s then over to Michael Buffer. You know the voice.

Benn is out first. A mixture of cheers and boos.

He takes his time. Ready or Not by The Delfonics is his choice of music to start with.

Then, after the Big Ben chimes, In the Air Tonight breaks out. Bop, to be fair.

Bellew: ‘This favours Benn’

Tony Bellew, former cruiserweight world champion, speaking on DAZN:

They are going straight back it and I think that favours Benn. He will have healed quicker and he will want to go into the fire quicker.Technique and game plan will go out in the window again. Benn has to go there, he is the shorter guy. I can’t see this being anything but another classic.’50 cent is here’Our sources tell us 50 Cent is in Eubank’s dressing room.Meanwhile, a variety of staff are mopping down the ring after that Catterall-Essuman bloodbath. Fair play to Catterall – excellent performance.How Benn spent Eubank Jr’s fine

You may remember that Eubank Jr was fined £375,000 for missing weight last fight – if not only because I mentioned it earlier.

Well, Benn has revealed how he spent that money: on a Rolls Royce.

He loves it, too. Fair enough.

Celebrities in town!

The pictures are still filtering through, but we have some famous faces in the house tonight.

How’s Jason Statham for you? How about Rosie Huntingdon Whitley? Thierry Henry?

PIERCE BROSNAN is here too! Mega.

Undercard results

The undercard has just finished up here in north London, with Jack Catterall claiming a dominant win over Eko Essuman.

Here are the full results from the other fights:

Adam Azim def. Kurt Scoby by 12th round TKORichard Riakporhe def. Tommy Welch by second-round knockoutIshmael Davis def. Sam Gilley by unanimous decisionMikie Tallon def. Fezan Shahid by fifth round knockoutBenn vibing ahead of go time!

I’ll be honest, I’m not cool enough to know what song this is. Not even close.

But that is besides the point – the Destroyer is chilled, confident, and, seemingly, read.

A good sign for his fans.

That, and I now have a song stuck in my head that I do not know the name of.

Hands being wrapped

We’re getting closer and closer to go time here – and the two fighters for the main event have been getting their hands wrapped ahead of the ring walks.

Both look very calm. No time to stress now – no going back!

Joshua vs Fury on the cards?!

Turki Al-Sheikh has told DAZN that Anthony Joshua is set to fight in Riyadh in February and then have a big London fight in London.

Not named were mentioned, but Hearn, AJ’s promoter, said recently: ‘Our plan is really cemented with Turki Al-Sheikh for 2026. And that’s a big fight in February, and then Tyson Fury.’

Jake Paul first though of course, pal.

Nelson: ‘Conor can snatch Eubank Jr’s heart’

Johnny Nelson, former cruiserweight world champion, speaking to WhichBookie:

My prediction is that Conor Benn will beat Chris Eubank Jr. by way of a tight points decision.Conor’s main threats, which he must use to good effect in this fight, are pace and pressure. With pace and pressure, he can snatch Eubank Jr’s heart.He can snatch his lungs, drain his energy and put him under immense pressure. I’m not sure Benn can stop him; I don’t see a one-punch knockout happening there. That said, I could see a situation where the onslaught is so constant that the referee has to step in.Inside Conor Benn’s dressing room

Here’s a look inside the dressing room of the Benn camp. Sort of, anyway.

You may recognise this – especially if you’re a Tottenham fan. But no football teams in here today – just Benn and his boxing team.

Plenty of room. Very nice.

Nigel Benn: ‘I know we are going to get a victory’

Nigel Benn, Conor Benn’s father and former boxer:

Conor’s fitness is another level. It was about his mindset. His team behind him is relaxed. No stress.I know we’re going to get a victory, I’m 100 per cent sure of that. Conor had him more in trouble than he had Conor [last time].Hearn: ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s his last fight’

Eddie Hearn, Conor Benn’s promoter, speaking to The Sun:

I just know that a lot of people around him didn’t want him to carry on fighting after the last fight. And I think this fight will be the same kind of fight in terms of how taxing it’ll be, how tough it’ll be.I just think he’s coming to the end of his career. What is he, 36? You can’t have too many fights like that, so let’s see how he performs on Saturday, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his last fight.

As of last night, there were still a few tickets on sale ahead of tonight, with the anticipation admittedly not as high as the first fight between these two.

What’s the reason for this fight? Family pride? Boxing success? Money?

Well worth reading the below from the legendary Jeff Powell, who has tried to break down tonight and what’s on the line. Spoiler: He’s not too impressed. But still well worth it.

You can read by clicking here or below.

ANOTHER sabotage?!

The Eubank camp have been stuck in a lift inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium… and Eubank Jr is convinced Hearn has set it up!

‘The sabotage begins,’ he said, laughing at his dad – who, interestingly, was shaking his head.

He continued: ‘Now the lift doesn’t work. It’s OK. It’s OK, Conor. You can stop the lift, you can stop the cars from coming in. It won’t change your fate, my friend.’

I must warn you about the below clip – there is strong language!

‘A fading novelty?’A pretty sedate atmosphere here through the undercard so far. There’s a significant number of empty seats in the stadium despite the best efforts of those selling the show – 2,000 tickets given away to local cab drivers and massively reduced prices on the secondary markets. Indifference or a fading novelty?Either way, it will be a large crowd in excess of 55,000 for an outdoor fight on a drizzly night in November. For those interested, Benn drew the louder cheer upon his arrival and hour or so ago.

The issue around the state Eubank Jr was in after his last fight rang true. He was interviewed after the ring despite being seriously dehydrated, and put in an ambulance. He has since claimed that Eddie Hearn was responsible for the delay in the ambulance getting to hospital. We don’t know what will happen this time.

This time, Daily Mail Sport was granted exclusive access to Eubank Jr’s training camp in Dubai. We watched him power through a brutal conditioning session, trade blows with sparring partners and unveil a cutting-edge recovery routine designed to extend his career.

There is so much to his recovery now. deep massages, but not getting involved with the cold – no chance.

Click here or below to ready more from Charlotte Daly. Again, well worth it, I feel.

Inside Eubank Jr’s preparation…

Eubank was dehydrated after the last fight. He cut down to 160.05lbs last time, still missing weight by half an ounce, resulting in a £375,000 fine. Ouch.

This time, though, he weight in LESS than Benn, coming in at 159.1lbs yesterday, with his rival at 159.3lbs.

The second generation star shared a clip of his brutal preparations for this fight, wearing a full sweat suit, roasting himself as he set to work on the exercise bike while draped in a towel and wearing a plastic hat.

And here are the Benns!

Not far behind him… Conor Benn is here too! Not quite flanked by his father Nigel, but the former boxer isn’t too far behind.

It’s white and blue for him tonight. A lot more level-headed this time around, apparently. We will see.

The Eubanks are here!

We have our first arrivals of the night, with both Chris Eubanks making their ways into the arena to a lot of flashes and a lot of cameras.

Not as much of a shock this time as the last when there were audible gasps around Britain as Eubank Sr got out the car on the back of months of a feud between him and his son.

Things aren’t perfect now, but they are here and together – ready for war.

Last time out…

It was 202 days ago, on Saturday April 26, that 67,000 fans made their ways into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to witness what would ultimately be one of the best fights in quite a long time, to be fair.

Two fighters who hated each other – perhaps still do – going head to head in an absolute slog fest. Capturing the nation, the Eubank name would rise, with the Benns falling courtesy of Conor.

It was a bout a long time in the making. Years, in fact. They had been due to do battle back in 2022, before Benn tested positive for banned substance clomifene.

That would be the main ammo for Eubank’s jibes his rivals’ way in the build-up to the April bout. So much so that he at one point slapped an egg across the then-28-year-old’s face. Eggs were blamed for the positive test.

Nonetheless, Eubank dropped a ton of weight, dominated the fight, and was then rushed to hospital with dehydration. Talk about drama.

And that leads us to tonight.
