Why was Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn called off?

Chris Eubank Jr will be hoping to continue the legacy of father Chris Eubank Sr in the feud, and pick up a win over Conor Benn, as his father did when he fought Nigel Benn in 1990.

As in 2022, the fight in 2025 has kicked off with controversy, as Chris Eubank Jr failed to make the weight and was fined £300,000.

Despite it being Benn who caused the original fight to be cancelled, Eubank Jr has been the talk of the controversy in 2025, also slapping Benn with an egg in the build up.

The fathers of Eubank Jr and Benn fought twice, firstly in a Eubank Sr victory in 1990, then a draw in 1993, with a trilogy fight never agreed.

Now, there will be a trilogy, as their sons will be continuing their fathers legacy, as well as putting their own personal grudges on the line this weekend!

Why was Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn cancelled in 2022?

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn were originally meant to face off against each other back in 2022, but Benn had failed a drugs test after testing positive for Clomifene.

Benn has now been largely inactive since 2022, but steps into the ring again at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Now, three years after the first scheduled fight, and 35 years since the scintillating rivalry began, we’re not far at all from a Eubank and a Benn stepping into the ring again!
