Eubank Sr. and Conor’s dad Nigel were huge rivals in the ring during the 1990s.
And their sons made sure to include that boxing legacy as they walked on in front of a capacity crowd in North London.
Eubank, 35, came out to his dad’s song Simply the Best by Tina Turner, before fading into Still Dre by Dr Dre.
Benn also linked up with the Tottenham DJ and emerged to his dad’s walk-on song from over 30 years ago.
The 28-year-old strode out to Dangerous by Conroy Smith, facing jeers from the crowd head-on.
Benn hugged his father in the ring ahead of the eagerly-awaited dust-up.
Eubank Sr had earlier stunned fans after arriving at the arena unannounced.
The 58-year-old had branded his son a “disgrace” in a bad-tempered build-up to the fight.

Benn Sr and Eubank Sr came to blows twice in the early 1990s, igniting one of British boxing‘s biggest rivalries.
Their two sons had been due to fight back in 2022.
But it was KOd with just days to go after Benn tested positive for clomiphene – a banned substance known to boost testosterone.
The UK Anti-Doping dropped the case against him, allowing Benn to fight on British soil again.
That didn’t stop Eubank from referencing the ban during an ill-tempered build-up to the fight.
