The Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn 2 rematch is set for November 15th at Tottenham Stadium in London, England. Sela just finished putting it together. It\u2019s still too early to know what the PPV price will be and which fights will be on the undercard.<\/p>\n

Eubank-Benn II: Unfinished Business?<\/p>\n

The Ring reports<\/a> the name of the Eubank Jr-Benn event will be called \u2018Unfinished Business.\u2018 That name does seem a bit odd because it was a one-sided fight with Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) taking a beating and almost being knocked out in the later rounds. If it was unfinished, that would mean that Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KOs) needs to finish the job this time.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, on April 26th, Eubank Jr. beat Conor Benn by a 12-round unanimous decision by these set of scores: 116-112, 116-112, and 116-112. The business seemed pretty finished based on those scores.<\/p>\n

This will be an event promoted by Riyadh Season and Sela. They\u2019re calling it a \u201chighly anticipated\u201d rematch, but fans are lukewarm about seeing Eubank Jr. beat up on Benn a second time. It wasn\u2019t a close enough fight to make it \u201chighly anticipated.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more like \u201cneedless\u201d if we\u2019re being honest. When a fighter gets dominated the way the novice Benn did, no one is looking forward to another fight. You already know how it\u2019s going to end.<\/p>\n

The April 26th Undercard: All Filler?<\/p>\n

Fans hope that the undercard will be better than the one for the first Eubank Jr.-Benn fight. This was the undercard for the April 26th event:<\/p>\n

Anthony Yarde vs. Lyndon Arthur
\nLiam Smith vs. Aaron McKenna
\nViddal Riley vs. Cheavon Clarke
\nChris Billam-Smith vs. Brandon Glanton<\/p>\n

Even if I were British, I would loathe the undercard that was packaged with the first Eubank Jr. vs. Benn fight. There\u2019s nothing there for fans to watch.<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr. vs. Benn 2: Nepotism Fight<\/p>\n

The Eubank Jr. vs. Benn 2 rematch is targeted for British audiences, as they\u2019re the ones who still care to see this. Fans from the U.S don\u2019t want to see these two fight again, as they see it as a nepotism fight. It\u2019s an utterly meaningless fight, because neither of these fighters are expected to go on to win world titles.<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr. is 35 and will likely retire if he loses or even if he wins. Benn lacks the talent to beat any of the welterweight champions, and he won\u2019t deserve to challenge for a world title if he loses the rematch.<\/p>\n
