Over 65,000 are expected to be in attendance, while millions will be tuning in across the globe. And so, here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s card…

Quotes corner
Chris Eubank Jr: “This fight isn’t about size or weight. It’s about skill. It’s about dedication. It’s about expertise and all those areas in which I excel in. I have many, many more years of experience over Conor Benn, and that will be the deciding factor of the night. The procedure will be parliamentary. That’s the only thing I can say about the outcome of this fight. If everything goes the way I want it to go – I will be like a matador in that ring and Conor Benn will be the bull.”
Conor Benn: “I feel prepared. I’ve done everything I possibly can in the gym and left no stone unturned. It’s always personal. Every opponent I fight is personal. People want to say it’s strictly business, but it’s never business. If you’re trying to put your hands on me and render me unconscious, it’s never business. It’s always personal with every single one of my opponents, but this one has a little bit more history to it.”
