Chris Eubank Jr’s long fight against Conor Benn has finally found a date: April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, live on DAZN. Eubank Jr., with his so-called strategic techniques, is set to face Benn, whose overly aggressive style some may say lacks finesse.
This all-British fight is presented as a resolution to a rivalry inherited from their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn. Originally scheduled for October 2022, the meeting was canceled by the adverse results of Benn’s test, only fueling the public and social 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 versus Aaron McKenna, Chris Billam-Smith beating 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 America’s hardcore boxing fans going. After Eubank’s main event, the undercard promises a mix of performances that British fans will cheer for, but US audiences might find it lackluster compared to the high-profile international matchups they’re used to.
While British fans are ready to revel in what they believe will be a legendary clash, hardcore US boxing fans may see this event as another predictable night of local rivalries with little to offer beyond the fare. usual This fight may become a cornerstone for British boxing, but don’t expect it to shake up the world boxing landscape or captivate the discerning American public.
