The winner had been hit with a £375,000 fine for missing weight, followed by a £10,000 punishment from the Boxing Board of Control for social media misuse after posting a picture using a sauna to cut weight – a frowned upon practice.
The same rules of a 160lb limit along with meeting the 10lb rehydration clause will apply this time too, leaving many to wonder if ‘Next Gen’ will struggle to meet the requirements once again.
Benn, meanwhile, is aiming to get his revenge on Eubank after being handed his first career loss by his rival.
So how do the two boxers compare in terms of weight, reach and record ahead of their second clash in north London?

There’s no love lost between these twoEubank Jr v Benn 2: Head-to-head record
There’s a reason why there is so much interest around a non-title fight.Â
The pair had engaged in numerous verbal and physical spats before their showdown in April, including that press event egg slap.
The bout was originally scheduled to take place on October 8, 2022, but controversy erupted after Benn tested positive for clomifene and delayed the fight.
Both will be keen to prove themselves in the ring this time around, despite neither appearing to be chasing a title in their respective natural divisions.
Eubank Jr has contested 38 fights, 14 shy of his father’s number. He’s secured 35 wins, 25 by KO, and suffered three losses.
Benn, meanwhile, has fought in 24, winning 23 and 14 coming via KO. His only loss came against Eubank Jr.
Their head-to-head record is therefore 1-0 in favour of Eubank Jr. He won their first clash via 12-round unanimous decision (116–112, 116–112, 116–112).

Google searches to boxing news in the UK in 2025, confirming Eubank vs Benn’s status as one of the year’s most anticipated and talked-about fightsEubank Jr v Benn 2: What has been said?
Benn believes Eubank Jr should retire following his first win as ‘The Destroyer’ eyes a world title instead.
He said: “Take it, take it. Just take the win. Take the win. Your dad didn’t want the rematch of my dad.
“Sail off into the sunset. You’re done, and you move on, and I move on and secure my legacy of winning the world title.
“I definitely want redemption [against Eubank Jr]. It really does feel like redemption has been taken away. But I’m definitely excited to drop back down and pursue my legacy there.”
But Eubank Jr isn’t listening to his rival and has insisted he wants to win in a more ‘conclusive’ manner this time.
“I won the first fight which I was proud of, but at the same time there was disappointment in that victory,” he said.
“I wanted to make sure that he didn’t see the 12th round, I wanted to make sure there was no question as to who was the better fighter. The fact that Conor Benn can come away from that fight saying that he hurt me, that’s all lies.
“I want it to be conclusive this time around, I want to get him out of there.”
