Can the sons of the legendary boxers be as iconic as their fathers’ unforgettable bouts?

What weight is Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn going to be fought at?

For Benn to be able to battle it out against the son of his father’s rival, he has been made to work his way up two weight classes from welterweight to middleweight.

Eubank Jr will have the weight advantage because he is a natural middleweight and has also competed at super-middleweight (168 lbs).

Benn officially made weight at 156.4lbs, while his opponent missed weight by 0.05lbs.

Eubank Jr first scaled at 160.2lbs before his final attempt, which saw him come in at the heavy 160.05lbs and miss weight by 0.05lbs.

SunSport understands the 35-year-old will have a whopping £375,000 deducted from his purse.

A rehydration clause is in the contract which means neither fighter is able to add more than 10lb in weight between Friday and Saturday’s weigh-in.
