      ONE of boxing’s most vicious feuds is turning into a family affair over 30 years after its last battle.Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn last threw hands in the 1990s, now their sons will do battle in a bout every bit as feisty as their own this weekend.Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn are ready to reignite their father’s rivalryCredit: SplashNigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr fought twice in the 1990sCredit: GettyFor now, the Eubank’s hold the bragging rights, after Eubank Sr won the first fight in 1990, and held on to his record when the second fight was declared a draw in 1993.But its the turn of Conor Benn and Eubank Jr to spark things back into life this weekend.Eubank Jr and Benn were originally scheduled to step into the ring in 2022, before Benn was suspended from donning his gloves after testing positive for banned drug Clomifene.That’s added three more years to an intense feud, with the pair finally returning for their punch-up on Saturday.Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will play host to the British battle as Benn and Eubank Jr start their own chapter in domestic boxing.It might feel like unfinished business for longstanding boxing fans who will remember when Nigel Benn called out Eubank Sr for a third fight back in 2016, but nothing ever came of it.Despite a feeling that their fathers are now friendly, their is certainly a real rivalry between the new generation.The build-up to the fight has certainly had plenty of needle.Most read in BoxingMost notably Eubank Jr’s decision to slap an egg across Benn’s cheek during a media conference – a cheeky nod to Benn’s defence of his drugs ban being down to a “highly elevated consumption” of eggs.Eubank – who had 16 eggs nestled in his pocket at the time – coughed up a hefty £100,000 fine for his antics.Now fans are hoping the battle in the ring will be just as entertaining as the build-up as the pair spark their father’s legacy back to life.SunSport has all the information ahead of this MASSIVE grudge fight in North London.Conor Benn is ready to earn the first win for his dad Nigel’s long-standing feud with the EubanksCredit: GettyChris Eubank Jr slapped Conor Benn with an egg during a media conferenceCredit: GettyWhen is Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn?Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn takes place on Saturday, April 26.Ring walks are set to take place from 10pm.The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium plays host.How to watch Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn and is there a live streamChris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn will stream LIVE on Sky Sports Box Office and DAZN PPV.The fight will also stream on DAZN to over 200 countries.

Is he past his best? Is Benn big enough for middleweight? Does he have enough experience?But boxing history tells us – most of the time – that a good biggun’ beats a good littlun’.Read More on The SunFor that reason, I feel Eubank will have too much size and range for Benn added in with his experience over the 12 round.I’d pick a Eubank points win but it’s not a sure thing.SunSport reckons Eubank Jr might edge the British boutCredit: Getty More
