November 18th 1990… The night in which Nigel Benn was emphatically stopped by Chris Eubank Jr. 35 years on, one draw and another defeat later, Conor Benn claimed sweet revenge for the Benn family as he put on a career best performance to dominate and outclass Chris Eubank Jr in front of a packed-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

All eyes are once again on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend as Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn go at it for a second time. Before that though, there’s an absolutely stacked undercard which features three domestic barnstormers and two that include some of the future stars of British boxing.

The most highly anticipated rematch in recent British boxing history is finally here. This isn’t a fight that just belongs in the history books for 2025 — this is a fight that belongs in the history books of the past 30 years.

There’s something undeniably thrilling about a fighter stepping into the ring, introduced with a nickname that echoes like a war cry. But let’s be honest—how many times have you heard “The Beast,” “The Destroyer,” or “Iron” and thought, Here we go again?

In boxing, fighters are celebrated for their toughness, resilience, and the grit to withstand anything thrown their way. But what happens when the battles extend beyond the ring, into their minds and hearts? Boxing is one of the loneliest sports, and its pressures are staggering. Fighters don’t just face their opponents in the ring; they face themselves. The question is: are we doing enough to support these warriors beyond the ropes, or are they left to fight their demons alone?

In today’s boxing world, it seems a fighter can’t step into the ring without first running their mouth. Trash talk has become as central to the fight game as the punches themselves—maybe even more so. But here’s the big question: Is this banter building excitement and giving fans a reason to tune in, or is it just cheapening the sport with cheap shots?
