The Legacy: A Family Feud
This isn’t just another boxing match—it’s a continuation of a decades-old rivalry. Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn fought twice in the early 1990s, with Eubank winning the first and the second ending in a draw. Now, their sons are carrying the torch into a new generation.
The Road to the Ring
Originally set for October 2022, the fight was delayed due to Benn testing positive for a banned substance. After being cleared, the rescheduling of this fight has been one of the most talked-about moments in boxing. The lead-up has been heated, including a bizarre egg-throwing incident by Eubank Jr., resulting in a £100,000 fine.
Predictions from the Experts
Former IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook is backing Eubank Jr., citing his natural size and experience. Meanwhile, current IBO super lightweight champion Adam Azim believes Benn’s youth and hunger could be the difference.
