Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will do battle in a highly-anticipated rematch later this evening at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with a stacked undercard also on show
Chris Eubank Jrand Conor Benn are set to reignite their rivalry tonight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The main event, a rematch of their middleweight clash seven months ago, is scheduled for a fan-friendly time. In their previous bout, Benn came out swinging, threatening to take an early lead. However, Eubank Jr, true to form, dug deep and stayed in the fight.
In the championship rounds, Eubank Jr’s experience shone through as he displayed determination and resilience, ultimately securing a points victory. Tonight’s rematch promises to be another thrilling battle between these two fighters.
Here are the start times for tonight’s bouts:
Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn – 9.45pm
In the headline event, Eubank Jr and Benn will face off once again, seven months after their first encounter. Ahead of the fight, ‘The Destroyer’ Benn has made a significant career revelation, stating that his rematch with Eubank Jr will be his last at middleweight,, reports the Mirror.
With this in mind, the son of Nigel Benn will be aiming to leave everything in the ring as he pursues future world title fights. As for Eubank Jr, despite questions about his motivation and desire to compete at the highest level, the Brit is confident that his best days are still ahead.
Jack Catterall vs Ekow Essuman – 8.45pm
Jack Catterall of Chorley is in a crucial position as he faces Ekow Essuman tonight. Earlier this year, he made the tough choice to relocate to Philadelphia and train with Derrick Ennis.
Despite notable victories over Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis last year, the 32 year old fell short in his junior welterweight title eliminator bout against Arnold Barboza Jr. This led him to move up to welterweight, but his debut win over Harlem Eubank in July was less than stellar. However, Ekow Essuman is determined to upset his opponent’s plans, having been on a winning streak since his only defeat to Harry Scarff two years ago.
Adam Azim vs Kurt Scoby – 7.45pm
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind for rising British star Adam Azim. The undefeated prodigy was set to face Zaur Abdullev tonight, but visa issues forced the Russian to withdraw.
It was unclear whether the 23 year old would still be part of the exciting line-up. However, Kurt Scoby stepped in at short notice.
The American has been exuding confidence all week and is currently on a five-match winning streak. A victory over Adam Azim would undoubtedly be the crowning achievement of his career so far.
Richard Riakporhe vs Tommy Welch – 6.45pm
Richard Riakporhe is making his second appearance in the heavyweight division. The 35 year old Londoner had a commendable run as a top cruiserweight contender, but fell short in his first world title attempt – losing to Chris Billam-Smith last year.
This setback led the ‘Midnight Train’ to switch to the heavyweight category, where he made an impressive debut by defeating Kevin Nicolas Espindola in Riyadh back in May. However, Tommy Welch from Brighton, who has steadily climbed the ranks, will be a formidable opponent on this historic card.

Sam Gilley is set for his dream fight on a grand stage. A passionate Spurs fan, the leading super welterweight contender will have the chance to compete in front of his home crowd tonight and will undoubtedly aim to make an impact.
With the British and Commonwealth super welterweight titles up for grabs, the 31 year old will be keen to bounce back from his last performance, which ended in a draw with Gideon Jonas in June. However, Ishmael Davis, known as the ‘Black Panther’, is not to be underestimated.
He recently broke a three-fight losing streak by beating Elliot Eboigbe on points.
Mikie Tallon vs Fezan Shahid – 5.05pm
Undefeated flyweight contender Mikie Tallon is set to prove his mettle in the ring tonight. The Liverpool lad has been making waves on the regional circuit, but made his much-anticipated Las Vegas debut last September, ahead of Terence Crawford’s triumph over Canelo Alvarez.
After emerging unscathed from his victory against Mexico’s Christian Robles, Tallon is gearing up for another significant bout as he faces Fezan Shahid (4-2-2) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Shahid steps into the ring fresh from consecutive impressive victories over Stephen Jackson and Steven Maguire.
