On Thursday Chris Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KOs) and Conor Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) faced off at the final press conference ahead of The Ring: Unfinished Business, set for Saturday night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London. The rematch streams worldwide on DAZN pay per view.

And, the anticipation is growing for these two to duplicate what they did in the same building seven months earlier, when Eubank Jr. scored a hard fought 12 round decision over the less experienced Benn.

Now, their 12-round middleweight showdown lands just days before the 35th anniversary of their fathers’ first iconic meeting, adding another chapter to one of boxing’s most storied rivalries. With Chris Eubank Snr. and Nigel Benn joining their sons on stage, the fighters revisited their electrifying first encounter and previewed what is expected to be one of 2025’s standout rematches.

Chris Eubank Jr. opened by addressing speculation surrounding his father’s previous appearance at their first fight, “Anyone with a brain knows it's not true,” he said, denouncing claims that Eubank Sr. was paid to attend. He then shifted to what he called an “extremely important issue,” revealing that his longtime head of security had been barred from the event. “It’s a man’s livelihood on the line,” he said, insisting he would shine a light on anything he felt was unjust.

On the business at hand, Eubank Jr. was blunt: “I’m going to go in there and show the world who I am again.” When asked for final thoughts before fight night, he added only, “The procedure will be parliamentary.”

Chris Eubank Sr. Eubank Sr. said his presence was driven purely by love and protection: “You can’t pay me anything. I’m here for heart and love.” Calling rumours about payments “lies,” he urged those repeating them to reveal their sources. He ended his remarks, as only he can, with a short declaration on the first fight: “I have spoken.”

Conor Benn reflected on the unlikely path that led both men to this moment. “It’s legacy and generational,” he said. He credited both fathers for paving the way and acknowledged Eubank Jnr.’s toughness in their first bout. Benn also confirmed this would be his final fight at 160 lbs before returning to welterweight.

As for Saturday: “I’m here to give people value for money. But my priority is to get the win—however it comes.”

His father had a harsh critique Thursday of his son's performance back in April,

I’m here to support my son and I’ve been watching my son train hard. In the first fight, everyone was saying ‘what a great fight,’ but you know what, Conor was throwing punches from South Africa, Germany, all over the place. That wasn't boxing. It was a good fight, but it wasn't boxing," the elder Benn said.

Now, we'll see if the brawling battle repeats or will there be a different tact from Benn after being handed his first professional defeat.
