Boxing grudge match between Benn and Eubank back on after first fight was cancelled

The Hindu  

The all-British boxing grudge match between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. is back on. They will fight in London in April, promoters Eddie Hearn and Turki Alalshikh said Wednesday, more than 30 years after the boxers’ fathers — Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank — met twice in the ring in one of Britain’s great rivalries. “Conor Benn vs. Chris Eubank is on, two years after the first one.” The 28-year-old Benn took to Instagram on Wednesday to share pictures of himself signing a contract with Hearn and Alalshikh, a Saudi official who organizes boxing events for the kingdom. “Your Fate has been sealed!” Benn said to Eubank Jr. Eubank Jr., who is 35, responded by posting the picture on his Instagram story, with the message: “Conor Benn just signed his own death sentence.” Benn, who has competed twice in the United States while provisionally suspended, will reportedly have to move up from welterweight to fight Eubank.
