Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn staggering purse details emerge as rematch officially announced

Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn are set to earn huge purses for their blockbuster rematch as a second meeting has officially been announced.

Eubank Jr. outpointed Benn by unanimous decision in a thrilling clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last April.

The all-British showdown was marred by controversy after Eubank Jr. missed the contracted weight at the official weigh-ins.

He was slapped with a whopping penalty as the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) launched an investigation following the bout.

A rematch was inserted into the deal, with an original date of September 20 announced before it fell through amid concerns Eubank Jr. would not be ready.

The Ring Magazine have since confirmed a new date of November 15.

The event, which has been dubbed as 'Unfinished Business, will be promoted by Sela and sponsored by Riyadh Season and Ring Magazine, which is owned by Turki Alalshikh.

Like the first fight, the rematch will take place at the home of Premier League side Spurs.

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn and Benn took to social media to share the announcement on social media.

On X, 'The Destroyer' said: "I was ready in September but I’ll be even more ready for November. See you soon @ChrisEubankJr #redemption."

Eubank Jr. and his promoter Ben Shalom have yet to comment on the announcement.

How much will Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn earn from their rematch?
