Chris Eubank Jr’s highly anticipated grudge match with Conor Benn has been tentatively set for May, Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh has confirmed.

Alalshikh made the announcement following a dramatic evening in Saudi Arabia, where Eubank Jr secured a dominant victory over Kamil Szeremeta.

The scenes afterwards stole the headlines as Benn stormed the ring, setting the stage for an explosive face-off between the two rivals.

The event took place at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia, where Eubank Jr delivered a powerful performance against Szeremeta, stopping his opponent in the seventh round.

Eubank was in control from the opening bell, using his superior speed and precision to outclass Szeremeta, eventually overwhelming him with a barrage of punches that forced the referee to call a halt to the contest.

The win extended Eubank’s momentum following his recent victory over Liam Smith and reinforced his position as one of the most highly sought after middleweights.

However, it was the post-fight chaos that stole the headlines. Moments after the referee waved off the bout, Benn, who had been ringside, jumped into the ring and confronted Eubank Jr., igniting a face-off between the two fighters.

The crowd erupted as Benn and Eubank Jr exchanged heated words, with both men clearly eager to settle their long-standing feud.

Security quickly intervened to separate the two, but the tension was palpable, and the confrontation further fuelled excitement for their potential showdown.

Alalshikh, who has played a significant role in bringing major boxing events to Saudi Arabia, confirmed to The Stomping Ground that May 2025 is the targeted date for the much-anticipated Eubank Jr vs. Benn clash.

Eubank Jr previously told Mail Sport that he was targeting a bout with Benn in that month, before taking on Canelo later in the year.

The rivalry between Eubank Jr and Benn dates back to their famous fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, who fought in two epic bouts during the 1990s.

The sons have carried on that rivalry, with tensions between the two families escalating over the past few years.

A fight between the two was originally scheduled for 2022 but was called off after Benn tested positive for a banned substance.

Since then, the animosity has only grown, with both fighters eager to settle the score in the ring.
