Read our privacy policy Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr will not take place in Britain as things stand, despite plans to stage the fight in London on 3 February. Benn, 27, seemed to reveal the new date this week, telling Eubank Jr on X : “Feb 3 I’m ending your career #4rounds.” It was also reported that the fight could take place at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Robert Smith dismissed that suggestion on Wednesday. “They can put out what they want ultimately, but they haven’t been through the proper authorities, and as I said before: really keen to get this done, right from the beginning.” In September, Benn fought for the first time since April 2022, beating Rodolfo Orozco in Florida after obtaining a Texas boxing licence. Eubank Jr and Benn’s cancelled fight in October 2022 was due to take place almost 29 years to the day after the pair’s fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, fought one another for the second time.
