Eubank Jr and Conor Benn do battle on Saturday evening
Eubank Jr v Conor Benn: Date, Start Time, Undercard & Prediction Ahead of Heated Grudge Match
Rivalry Reignited on a Grand Stage
A historic grudge is set to explode back into life as Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn prepare to square off on Saturday, 26 April 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. More than three decades on from their fathers’ legendary bouts, the next generation carries the flame into a new chapter of one of British boxing’s most bitter feuds.
The event – branded Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves – is a 12-round middleweight contest filled with tension, legacy, and pride. While Eubank Jr brings the edge in experience and natural size, Benn, still unbeaten in his professional career, makes the bold leap up two weight divisions to settle a score that stretches far beyond the ropes.
Date, Venue & Start Time
The highly anticipated bout takes place at the 62,000-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, a fitting venue for a showdown steeped in British boxing folklore.
The main card is set to begin at 5:00 PM BST, with ring walks for the headline clash expected around 10:30 PM BST – though timings could vary depending on how the undercard unfolds.
Stacked Undercard Promises Fireworks
It’s not just the main event drawing attention. A strong supporting cast adds plenty of spice to an already fiery occasion:
- Anthony Yarde and Lyndon Arthur meet for a third time in their light-heavyweight trilogy, with everything on the line.
- Liam Smith faces rising prospect Aaron McKenna in a compelling middleweight contest.
- Chris Billam-Smith returns to cruiserweight action against American puncher Brandon Glanton.
- Meanwhile, the battle of unbeaten cruiserweights pits Viddal Riley against Cheavon Clarke in what could steal the show.
Prediction: Can Benn Defy the Odds?
Despite stepping into the ring as the 13/8 underdog with Boylesports, Conor Benn has captured the imagination of fight fans. His undefeated record of 23-0, including 14 knockouts, speaks to both power and killer instinct. At 28 years of age, he is the younger man by seven years and will be looking to capitalise on his superior speed and relentless approach.
Benn has publicly vowed to stop Eubank Jr inside four rounds, fuelled by both personal animosity and the historic weight of the family feud. His aggression, if channelled correctly, could cause problems – especially if he can close the distance early and avoid falling prey to Eubank’s calculated counters.
However, Eubank Jr, available at 4/7, carries a wealth of experience at the weight and will be confident in his timing, power, and conditioning over the distance. The question is whether he can withstand the storm that Benn is certain to bring from the opening bell.
A draw sits at 20/1, but most expect a definitive outcome in a contest that feels destined to end with fireworks.
The names may be familiar, but the story is all their own. When Eubank Jr and Benn meet under the lights in north London, expect emotion, explosiveness, and perhaps, a new chapter in one of the sport’s most enduring rivalries.
