Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn are set to finally clash in the ring on April 26, 2024, in London, after their original fight date was postponed due to a failed Voluntary Anti-Doping Test by Benn in October 2022. Following the lifting of Benn's suspension in the UK late last year, negotiations to reschedule the highly anticipated bout resumed.

The teams representing both fighters, Matchroom for Benn and BOXXER for Eubank, have successfully reached an agreement on the purse split after initial disagreements. This matchup is part of a new venture by Turki Alalshikh, the new owner of Ring Magazine, in collaboration with the video game Fatal Fury. The event, titled `Fatal Fury City of the Wolves,` promises a tough undercard and a targeted pay-per-view price of £19.99.

Eubank Jr has expressed concerns regarding rehydration restrictions for the middleweight bout, but the deal has been finalized, paving the way for an official announcement and press conference in the coming weeks.

In other boxing news, Oleksandr Usyk has revealed his next opponent following victories over Tyson Fury, although specific details remain undisclosed.
