Following the intense middleweight bout between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, promoter Ben Shalom has provided an update on Eubank Jr.’s condition and discussed the prospects of a rematch.

​

 Eubank Jr.’s Health Status

After the closely contested fight, Eubank Jr. was taken to The Royal London Hospital for precautionary checks. Initial rumors suggested a possible broken jaw, but Shalom clarified that the hospitalization was routine, and Eubank Jr. is recovering well. He remains under observation but is in good spirits.

Potential Rematch on the Horizon

Despite the physical toll of the first bout, discussions about a rematch are already underway. Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh is targeting a September date for the sequel, pending both fighters’ readiness and venue availability. The initial fight was part of a two-fight agreement, which included terms for a potential rematch. ​

 Financial Terms and Negotiations

Eubank Jr. has agreed to a 55-45 purse split in favor of Benn for the first fight. However, Benn’s camp is reportedly seeking a 50-50 split for the rematch. Shalom has emphasized the importance of finalizing the deal promptly to ensure the fight proceeds as planned.

 Strategic Considerations

While a rematch is on the table, Shalom has also suggested that Eubank Jr. should focus on securing a world title opportunity in his next bout. He believes that a world title fight would be a significant step forward in Eubank Jr.’s career, potentially overshadowing the need for a rematch with Benn.

 Conclusion

The Eubank Jr. vs. Benn rivalry has reignited interest in British boxing, and while a rematch is being considered, the focus may shift towards world title aspirations. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how these developments unfold in the coming months.​
