The long-delayed Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn fight has finally found a date: April 26th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, live on DAZN. Eubank Jr., with his so-called strategic techniques, is set to face Benn, whose overly aggressive style some might say lacks finesse.
This all-British fight is hyped up as a resolution to a rivalry inherited from their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn. Originally slated for October 2022, the bout was derailed by Benn’s adverse test results, only fueling the public and social media animosity. Now, they finally get to step into the ring, supposedly to settle their differences and make a name for themselves in the British boxing scene.
The undercard attempts to add some excitement with Anthony Yarde versus Lyndon Arthur, Liam Smith against Aaron McKenna, Chris Billam-Smith battling Brandon Glanton, and Viddal Riley facing Cheavon Clarke. These fights showcase a range of techniques and styles, but let’s be honest, they might not be enough to keep American hardcore boxing fans entertained. Following Eubank’s main event, the undercard promises a mix of performances that British fans will cheer for, but US audiences might find lackluster compared to the high-profile, international matchups they’re used to.
While British enthusiasts are set to revel in what they believe will be a legendary showdown, US hardcore boxing fans might see this event as just another predictable night of local rivalries with little to offer beyond the usual fare. This fight may become a cornerstone for British boxing, but don’t expect it to shake up the global boxing landscape or captivate the discerning American audience.
