Chris Eubank Jr. will pay a $500,000 fine to Conor Benn after weighing in over the middleweight limit for their highly anticipated Saturday fight. The bout is expected to draw a large audience. The fine stems from Eubank Jr. exceeding the 160-pound limit by half an ounce. The fight, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, is a rematch of a previously canceled 2022 bout due to Benn's positive drug test. The fight between the sons of boxing legends has generated significant interest, with over 65,000 tickets sold. The winner could potentially face Canelo Alvarez, adding further intrigue to the event.
