Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn are likely to have a rematch in September, as confirmed by Saudi Arabian boxing officials despite promoter Eddie Hearn's reservations. Benn, after losing a dramatic fight, expressed his desire for revenge. Hearn, while acknowledging the public's demand, wants Benn to move down a weight class, but the rematch is already scheduled. The fight, a slugfest, saw Benn move up in weight. Hearn is now urging caution, citing the potential for such intense fights to shorten a boxer's career, despite the financial incentives.
