Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will fight for the second time in London later this year.
The pair first stepped into the ring on April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in what turned out to be something of a classic bout.
There was a huge amount of hype for the bout, given the history between the two fighters’ fathers, the trash talk and the long build-up due to Benn’s suspension from the sport.
The fight did not disappoint, with Eubank Jr winning by unanimous decision after a dramatic contest, which all three judges handed to the winner by 116-112.
The rematch has been set for September 20, confirmed to take place in London but the venue is yet to be announced.
The first fight took place at middleweight (160lbs), but the weight class for the rematch is also yet to be confirmed.
The victory for Eubank Jr took his professional record to 35-3, with Benn’s first defeat seeing his record slip to 23-1.
