Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn will settle their bitter feud at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, April 26.
The British rivals have finally agreed terms for their long-awaited showdown, with Turki Alalsheikh revealing the fight will headline the season-long event in Riyadh, north of London.
Eubank Jr and Benn, the sons of arch-rivals Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn, were originally due to face each other in October 2022, only for the latter to fail both drug tests.

Boxer promoter Ben Shalom gives a better look ahead to this year’s fight between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn.
Benn’s license was revoked by the British Boxing Board of Control, but the suspensions were lifted last November after the National Anti-Doping Board said it was “not comfortable” that the 28-year-old had committed a doping offence.
Since the scrapped fight more than two years ago, Eubank Jr has lost to Liam Smith but won a rematch in 2023 and fought just once in 2024, a stoppage win over Camille Seremeta.
