Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn LIVE: Bitter rivals face off in grudge rematch as Benn hunts for revenge after chaotic first bout

A pretty sedate atmosphere here through the undercard so far. There’s a significant number of empty seats in the stadium despite the best efforts of those selling the show – 2,000 tickets given away to local cab drivers and massively reduced prices on the secondary markets. Indifference or a fading novelty?

Either way, it will be a large crowd in excess of 55,000 for an outdoor fight on a drizzly night in November. For those interested, Benn drew the louder cheer upon his arrival and hour or so ago.

The issue around the state Eubank Jr was in after his last fight rang true. He was interviewed after the ring despite being seriously dehydrated, and put in an ambulance. He has since claimed that Eddie Hearn was responsible for the delay in the ambulance getting to hospital. We don’t know what will happen this time.

This time, Daily Mail Sport was granted exclusive access to Eubank Jr’s training camp in Dubai. We watched him power through a brutal conditioning session, trade blows with sparring partners and unveil a cutting-edge recovery routine designed to extend his career.

There is so much to his recovery now. deep massages, but not getting involved with the cold – no chance.

Eubank was dehydrated after the last fight. He cut down to 160.05lbs last time, still missing weight by half an ounce, resulting in a £375,000 fine. Ouch.

This time, though, he weight in LESS than Benn, coming in at 159.1lbs yesterday, with his rival at 159.3lbs.

The second generation star shared a clip of his brutal preparations for this fight, wearing a full sweat suit, roasting himself as he set to work on the exercise bike while draped in a towel and wearing a plastic hat.

He is ready to go.

Not far behind him… Conor Benn is here too! Not quite flanked by his father Nigel, but the former boxer isn’t too far behind.

It’s white and blue for him tonight. A lot more level-headed this time around, apparently. We will see.

We have our first arrivals of the night, with both Chris Eubanks making their ways into the arena to a lot of flashes and a lot of cameras.

Not as much of a shock this time as the last when there were audible gasps around Britain as Eubank Sr got out the car on the back of months of a feud between him and his son.

Things aren’t perfect now, but they are here and together – ready for war.

It was 202 days ago, on Saturday April 26, that 67,000 fans made their ways into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to witness what would ultimately be one of the best fights in quite a long time, to be fair.

Two fighters who hated each other – perhaps still do – going head to head in an absolute slog fest. Capturing the nation, the Eubank name would rise, with the Benns falling courtesy of Conor.

It was a bout a long time in the making. Years, in fact. They had been due to do battle back in 2022, before Benn tested positive for banned substance clomifene.

That would be the main ammo for Eubank’s jibes his rivals’ way in the build-up to the April bout. So much so that he at one point slapped an egg across the then-28-year-old’s face. Eggs were blamed for the positive test.

Nonetheless, Eubank dropped a ton of weight, dominated the fight, and was then rushed to hospital with dehydration. Talk about drama.

And that leads us to tonight.
