The two men threw down on April 26 \u2014 also in London \u2014 in what proved to be one of the most exciting matches of 2025<\/a>. In the end, Eubank Jr. (35-3) had done enough to earn the unanimous decision win on the judges scorecards<\/a>, ending months of bitter back-and-forth between the two pugilists, which has a deep generational history. Indeed, their respective fathers went toe-to-toe in the 90\u2019s, which saw Chris Eubank Sr. stop Nigel Benn via technical knockout to secure WBO\u2019s Middleweight title.<\/p>\n

That said, it was only logical the sons now run it back.<\/p>\n

As far as what held up the initial date of Sept. 20, reports state<\/a> that Eubank Jr. was not ready to come back so soon, which led to a slight rift with Saudi boxing powerhouse, Turki Alalshikh. Now that fences have been mended between the two parties, a date has been finalized and business will go on as usual.<\/p>\n

Previously, Manny Pacquiao \u2014 who made his return to boxing with a valiant (though neutral<\/a>) effort against Mario Barrios last month \u2014 offered to step in to fill the void<\/a> and fight Benn (23-1) if a deal with Eubank Jr. wasn\u2019t made. For now, \u201cPacman\u201d will have to look for another challenge because fight fans will now get the chance to see another potential barn-burner between the two British brawlers.<\/p>\n
