Last month’s classic tilt between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will have a sequel before long, according to Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn.

Eubank Jr emerged with a four-round decision over Benn in London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, handing him his first professional loss in what was a grudge match years in the making — and a continuation of both men’s father’s rivalry which was a central theme of British boxing’s halcyon days in the 1990s.

And Hearn says that a rematch will come sooner rather than later, even if there are some kinks that may need to be ironed out — including the weight at which the rematch will take place.

“The future is massive for Conor Benn, the contract was a two-fight contract, the rematch is already contracted and done,” Hearn said to Matchroom’s YouTube channel.

“I said in the press conference after, ‘we’ll have to look at the weight classes and that,’ but Conor said to me on Sunday night, ‘you thought that was a war? Wait until you see the rematch!’ We’re confident in terms of what Saturday will give him.

“The activity, the confidence, the weight, everything, he’s ready to go now! He’s back in the gym. We have to look, I want Conor to be a world champion, he’s proved he’s a world class fighter. But the rematch is twice as big as the first one.

“The numbers are huge, No. 2 will break records across the board. That’s what we signed up for, we’re in. We’ll wait for a date from His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh], he’s already made it clear, I think he’s said, ‘end of September back at Tottenham Hotspur’. Let us know the date and we’ll be there.”
