Where can I watch Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn II in the UK?

The whole event will be broadcast worldwide exclusively on DAZN pay-per-view, with Eubank Jr vs Benn expected to begin around 10pm UK time.

What happened in the first fight?

In the first bout back in April, Eubank Jr ended Benn’s 23-fight winning streak in an epic, action-packed contest, eventually being declared the winner by unanimous decision. All three judges scored the fight 116-112 in Eubank Jr’s favour.

Both fighters left absolutely everything in the ring, with high-quality trades mixed in with some brawling that was reminiscent of a good ol’ street fight.

It was testament to the character of each athlete that neither of them was knocked down, although there were some close calls in that regard.

But while the bout was deemed a fairly even affair by most, the punch stats were quite damning for Benn. Eubank Jr landed 367 in comparison to his opponent’s total of 215.

Benn looked a little too focused on scoring power punches in the early stages of April’s fight, so expect him to be a little more conservative this time around, better utilising his speed and agility.

As for Eubank Jr, the blueprint will surely be much of the same, and if he does get the win, many expect the 36-year-old to respond by calling time on his glittering boxing career.

Chris Eubank Jr | 35-3-0

Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn II Betting Tips

Will the fight go the distance? No @ 1.82

Last time out, the fight did go the distance – although many of us are not quite sure how. But now that each athlete is aware of how the other operates in the ring, we expect this to change in the rematch. Both Eubank Jr and Benn possess lethal punch power, which can end the fight at any given second.

Chris Eubank Jr to score a knockdown – Yes @ 2.37

Eubank Jr is naturally the bigger of the two men, given Benn has spent most of his career fighting at welterweight. And when Next Gen connects with his hardest punches, few are left standing. Twenty-five of his 35 career wins were achieved by way of KO. Benn, of course, has a granite chin, evidenced by the endurance he displayed in the first fight. This is a riskier wager on paper, but it could also provide exceptional value, given how close the odds are in other markets.
