      Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn: CONFIRMED Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel and undercard for British dust-up

      by

      BIG time British boxing is back as Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn are set to clash in a bout that will stoke the memories of the 1990s. It was in 1990 and again in 1993 that Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn fought two brutal world title fights.

      Eubank Sr won the first one via 9th-round TKO, picking up the WBO middleweight title in the process, but the second fight, which took place at super-middleweight, ended in a draw.
      Now 29 years on, their sons will clash.
      Eubank Jr, a middleweight who has also campaigned at 168lbs, will come down to his lowest weight ever 156lbs to challenge Benn – a career welterweight.
      It was a fight which was first floated into the ether after Eubank Jr beat Liam Williams earlier this year.
      Nobody took the idea of it seriously, apart from Benn, who has struggled to find a competitive fight at 147lbs.

      When is Eubank Jr vs Benn?

      Eubank Jr’s massive clash with Benn will take place on Saturday, October 8, 2022.
      The fight will take place at the O2 Arena in front of 18,000 fans.
      Both men will clash 29 years on, almost to the day, from Eubank Sr vs Benn 2 at Old Trafford on October 9, 1993.
      Ring-walks for the main event are expected to get going at around 10pm UK time.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Eubank Jr vs Benn will be shown live on DAZN PPV
      You can subscribe to DAZN for £7.99-a-month, but that does NOT give you streaming access to Eubank Jr vs Benn.
      The clash is available for live streaming from the DAZN app, which you can download onto your mobile or tablet device.

      Eubank Jr vs Benn FULL CARD
      The full card is yet to be announced but SunSport will be regularly updating fans once the other fights are revealed.

      What has been said?
      Both fighters are excited to put on a showdown which will roll back the years for many boxing fans.
      Eubank Jr said: “I grew up watching their legendary battles and always wanting to emulate that, and find my own arch nemesis… could this now be Conor Benn? We will find out.
      “He has walked the same path as I have. I know his struggle. Living in the shadow of a legend and trying to break out of that shadow and make his own name. If he can beat me, his name will be made, and he will never walk in his father’s shadow again.
      “It’s a fight that’s going to spark the imagination of the British public, that’s what I’m happy about. In terms of anticipation, legacy and hype it’s the biggest fight of my career.”
      Whilst Benn said: “This fight is for the legacy and was an opportunity I felt I couldn’t pass up.
      “My team and I had other options on the table as I’m currently ranked top 5 with all governing bodies at Welterweight and no doubt I’m looking for a World Championship fight very soon, but this fight is embedded with so much history and I know it’s one the public really want to see.
      “To me this fight is personal – it’s more than titles and rankings, this is unfinished business between our families!” More

      by

      RANGERS will need to perform a heroic performance TONIGHT if they are to secure Champions League qualification for the first time since 2010.The Gers were stunned by Jupiter Pro League side Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium having lost 2-0 in the first leg.

      However Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men are still pipped to go through with the second encounter being on home soil
      But what happens if the Scottish giants are knocked out?
      What happens if Rangers lose in Champions League qualifying?
      If Rangers were to pull off a mighty comeback and beat their Belgian opponents, they would face wither Monaco or PSV Eindhoven in the final play-off round,
      However, if the Scottish giants were to be knocked out, Rangers would find themselves back in the Europa League this season.
      Read More on Rangers
      Their bitter rivals Celtic have already snatched the automatic qualification group stage spot having won the league last campaign.
      What Pot will Rangers go in should they go through?
      If Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men navigate their way through the group stages, they are likely to land in Pot 4 – along with Celtic.
      Most read in Champions League
      This is due to the Scottish League possessing one of the lower coefficients according to UEFA ruling.
      However, the Gers can possibly sneak into Pot 3 should Portuguese giants Benfica fail to secure their spot in the Champions League group stages.
      And this is down to Rangers’ individual coefficient being higher than the teams in Pot 4 (Club Brugge, Celtic and Marseille) who have already qualified.
      As a result, the former Scottish champions would avoid ‘tougher’ teams in their group, once the draw has been confirmed, giving them a better chance to get into the knock-out rounds. More

      That was until this week, when Fury demanded that Chisora signs the paperwork for their heavyweight trilogy encounter.
      However, Hearn revealed that Chisora refused to sign as he believed that the purse for the fight was too low.
      But having already beaten Chisora twice before, Fury is adamant that the money is sufficient and the War is ‘running’ from the fight.

      But Fury is determined for the War to put pen to paper and sign the contract.
      The Gypsy King said on social media: “This one goes out to Derek ‘The s***house’ Chisora.
      “You’re running Derek, from the trilogy.
      “You call yourself war but you should call yourself chicken because you’re running from the trilogy and from a career-high pay day.

      And Fury replied once more with:
      “I don’t need to speak to anybody.”
      “I spoke to your management team, we’re all good. Everything is sorted, looking good. Contract be over or a day or so.
      “Peace out, you’re getting knocked out.” More
