The Road to Redemption
Following April's controversial unanimous decision victory for Eubank Jr (116-112 x3), promoters have confirmed the 15 November rematch after resolving contractual disputes. The bout nearly collapsed in September due to:
- Rehydration clause disagreements
- Training camp scheduling conflicts
- Venue availability issues
Turki Alalshikh's Power Play
The Ring Magazine chairman forced both camps back to negotiations, telling BBC Sport: "This isn't just boxing - it's cultural heritage. Their fathers' 1990s wars defined British boxing."
Tactical Adjustments Expected
Key factors to watch:
| Fighter | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| Eubank Jr | Reach advantage (74") | Stamina concerns |
| Benn | Explosive power | Defensive gaps |
Expert Analysis
Coral Barry, BBC Combat Sports:
"The first fight succeeded through sheer theater - Eubank Sr's WWE-style entrance, the weight drama. Can they recreate that magic? Benn must close distance smarter, while Eubank needs early-round dominance."
