Born rivals Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn will finally lock horns Saturday afternoon at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London to complete a rivalry that dates back more than 30 years.
It all began with their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, who had two blockbuster all-British world title fights in the 1990s. In 1990, Eubank Sr. stopped Benn to win the WBO middleweight title in a fight still widely considered to be one of the best in British boxing history. Three years later, 16.5 million people in Britain watched the pair fight to a draw at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United.
