Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn undercard, running order and exact fight times

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will take centre stage at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight – but there is also plenty of action on the undercard

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will finally share a ring tonight as they look to settle their bitter rivalry.

The sons of famous fathers have built their own rivalry over the last two-and-a-half years, ever since their bout was originally scheduled – and then scrapped when Benn failed two drug tests in the build-up. Both men will now earn far more money with the fight taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium instead of The O2 arena.

Benn has since been cleared to fight in the UK and has won two fights in America since his fight with Eubank Jr was scrapped in October 2022. Eubank Jr, meanwhile, has won two of this three subsequent fights, sharing a win and a loss with Liam Smith before stopping Kamil Szeremeta last October. There is also plenty of action on tonight’s undercard and here, we take a look at each of the fights in more detail…

Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn – 10pm

The main event is as intriguing as it is controversial with Eubank Jr promising to “erase” Benn from boxing following his two failed drug test almost three years ago. The two rivals have long been paired together given their shared history but always seemed be too far apart in terms of weight and experience. But they have been forced together and will finally share the ring tonight. Eubank Jr will enjoy a huge size advantage having failed to make the 160lb limit at yesterday’s weigh-in with Benn’s best chance probably coming in the early rounds before Eubank Jr is able to impose his physicality.

Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur – 9pm

Few would have foreseen a trilogy fight between these two when they first met in 2020 but Arthur stunned his rival with a split-decision victory. His joy was short-lived, however, with Yarde winning their rematch the following year by fourth-round stoppage. Both men went on to fight at the highest level against Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol but have found their way back to each other at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tonight. Yarde, who remains linked with a domestic blockbuster with Joshua Buatsi, will be expected to win again.

Liam Smith vs Aaron McKenna – 8pm

Smith will feel aggrieved he is not fighting Chris Eubank Jr tonight having stopped his rival in their first fight before losing the second when he rushed himself back from injury and claimed not to have been ready for the rematch. He was due to take on Josh Kelly last September but pulled out after falling ill and must now prove he is not over the hill against the unbeaten McKenna. The Irishman faces a considerable step up in quality of opposition but is confident he can overcome Smith and position himself for a world title shot.

Viddal Riley vs Cheavon Clarke – 7pm

This clash features Arsenal vs Tottenham at the home of Spurs as Gunner Clarke attempts to bounce back from his first career defeat. He was beaten by European champion Leonardo Mosquea last December but still holds the British cruiserweight title which he puts on the line tonight. Riley was most well known for being trainer to social media star KSI but has forged an unbeaten career of his own and will be looking to announce himself tonight.

Chris Billam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton – 6pm

A fight with some needle after Glanton accused Billam-Smith of snubbing him in the past. The Bournemouth man is looking to bounce back after losing his world title to Gilberto Ramirez last year. Glanton has only fought three times in the last two years after recovering from back-to-back defeats but the American has brought plenty of confidence over the Atlantic.
