Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn put on a modern-day classic when they clashed back in April, and another huge crowd will be present when they return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
Benn’s aggressive approach and superior speed helped him to set the early pace in their first encounter, but Eubank Jr made his significant size advantage count in the latter rounds to prevail on points.
That extra height, reach and power make Next Gen hard to oppose again, and 4/7 for the winner to be the same is our opening Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn II prediction.

Eubank Jr Remains Hungry For Action
Eubank Jr struggled to make the 160lb weight limit earlier this year and had to pay his opponent a £375,000 fine for being fractionally over that mark. However, he insisted he has learned from that harsh lesson and declared, “We’ve been doing weight slightly different this time.”
For the second contest, the 36-year-old has also faced the distraction of soon becoming a father, but any thoughts of an imminent move away from boxing have been dismissed. “I am a fighter. This is my life, this is what I was born to do,” stated Eubank Jr. “As long as I have that fire in me to keep getting in the ring, keep getting in the gym, waking up early, I love the lifestyle.
“I love who I am as a fighter and the way it makes me feel, so that’s all it is. Testing myself, giving the fans what they want to see and pushing myself as far as I can go. That’s the motivation.”
Eubank Jr does have a past history of being better prepared for a rematch, avenging a fourth-round defeat by Liam Smith in January 2023 by stopping the Liverpudlian in the 10th round just over seven months later. Next Gen is 2/1 to get the job done inside the distance this time, but nobody can question his rival’s heart or rock-solid chin, so we prefer to stick with a BOYLE Sports price boost of 5/2 for the favourite to win on points once more from the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn II odds.

Can Benn Time His Charge Better?
Benn’s supporters will hope he is stronger at the weight this time around, having had longer to adjust to the step up from welterweight. At seven years younger, he also has more scope for improvement, especially after fully shaking off any ring-rust following a lengthy enforced absence.
The Destroyer showed he can hurt his bigger opponent in the eighth round of their April showdown, and many felt that fight was closer than the 116-112 scoreline produced by all three judges. Benn may look to pace himself better this weekend, but we just keep coming back to that size disadvantage!
Rematches are rarely as brutal as the original encounters, though, as was the case with their famous fathers, and another BOYLE Sports price boost of 11/8 for zero knockdowns to occur on Saturday is added to our Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn II betting tips.
