Chris Eubank Jr’s fight with Conor Benn is finally official, according to Turki Al-Sheikh, the adviser behind Saudi Arabia’s aggressive entry into boxing.
Eubank Jr and Benn were due to fight in October 2022, almost 30 years after their fathers Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn completed their iconic in-ring rivalry. But the all-British bout was thwarted on late notice, due to two failed drug tests by Benn, who was then stripped of his British boxing licence.
