Eubank Jr 4/5 Favourite In Benn Clash On December 23rd
Rumours are picking up and gathering momentum ahead of a potential Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn clash on December 23rd.
The pair of family rivals were originally scheduled to fight each other on 8th October 2022 in a fight being billed ‘Born Rivals’. However, the bout was cancelled due to Conor Benn testing positive for the banned substance clomifene.
The fight was set to take place at the Manchester Arena at a catchweight of 157-pounds. This is because Benn campaigns at welterweight (147-pounds), and Eubank Jr is a career middleweight (160-pounds). ‘Next Gen’ has even fought up at super-middleweight numerous times, hence why the fight was set at a reasonable catchweight.
Since the fight was cancelled, Eubank Jr has had two fights with Liverpool’s Liam Smith. He was knocked out in the first fight, before then securing a knockout of his own in the rematch back in September 2023. For Benn, he returned to action in September for the first time since his ban.
Given the narrative the fight has and the family history between the Eubank’s and Benn’s, a potential fight between the pair is once again gathering momentum. Matchroom Boxing kingpin and Benn’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has revealed the ambition to stage the fight on December 23rd.
Ahead of the proposed fight, it’s Chris Eubank Jr who is the early betting favourite with the best UK sports betting sites at odds of 4/5. ‘The Destroyer’ is the marginal underdog at odds of 1/1 with the best fast payout bookies. Interestingly, a draw is priced at 14/1 with the best trusty UK betting sites.
