Attentions quickly turned towards a money-spinning and contracted rematch, which was initially set for September 20 at the same venue, only to be pushed back two months <\/a>amid yet more disagreements and uncertainty.<\/p>\n But the new date has held firm, with Benn eyeing swift revenge after losing the first fight 116-112 on all three judges\u2019 scorecards to suffer the maiden defeat of his 24-fight professional career in his first UK bout since 2022.<\/p>\n Benn always maintained his innocence and battled to clear his name for two years following two failed voluntary drugs tests that led to the cancellation of his first planned fight against Eubank Jr, cleared to fight back on home soil late last year following the lifting of his provisional suspension.<\/p>\n Eubank vs Benn 2 fight date and venue<\/p>\n The rematch is being held at the same location as the first fight – the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London, where a crowd of 67,484 people made for an electric atmosphere in April.<\/p>\n Eubank vs Benn 2 fight time and ring walks<\/p>\n The early undercard action tonight is expected to begin at around 5pm GMT, with doors open from 4:30pm.<\/p>\n Ring walks for the main event are set to take place at approximately 9.35pm.
