Eubank Jr and Benn rematch rescheduled for November 15 in London
The men had been due to go head to head for a second time on September 20 but, with Eubank Jr claiming he would not be ready for that date, the bout has now been scheduled for Saturday, November 15.
Eubank Jr won a ferocious first meeting, fought at the 160lb middleweight limit, on a unanimous points decision, with all three judges scoring the contest 116-112 at the same venue in April.
He later claimed he had undergone eye surgery after being 'headbutted' by Benn and spent two nights in hospital as a result of severe dehydration.
The fight captured the imagination of boxing fans after rekindling memories of the fierce rivalry between their fathers three decades earlier.
Chis Eubank Sr, who had seemingly been estranged from his son for some time, made a surprise appearance before the bout and the pair shared an emotional greeting.
Eubank Sr later said his son had 'upheld the family name' after inflicting the first defeat of Benn's professional career.
In a social media post, shared in an Instagram story by Saudi kingpin Turki Alalshikh, Ring Magazine said: 'The Ring has learned Sela completed the deal for the highly anticipated Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn rematch on November 15 in Tottenham Stadium.
'The event will be presented as 'The Ring: Unfinished Business'.
'The event will be promoted by Sela and sponsored by Riyadh Season and Ring Magazine.'

Ten-man Rangers score last minute penalty to draw with Dundee at Ibrox
Ten-man Rangers scored a last-minute penalty to draw with Dundee at Ibrox. Despite the late comeback, it is another two points dropped for Russell Martin's men with two draws in their first two Premiership games. Ryan Astley scored a header to give Steven Pressley's side a shock lead at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon before Nasser Djiga was sent off shortly after. Just as it looked as though Dundee would be leaving with all three points, James Tavernier converted a spot kick in the dying minutes. Rangers dominated much of the early possession as they looked to take the game to the visitors right from kick-off. Joe Rothwell fired a long-range strike wide off the target and Djeidi Gassama had a wayward shot well over the bar. The best chance of the half came up the other end when Finlay Robertson had a close-range header come back off the post in a warning sign for Rangers. Jefte had the last chance of the first 45 but he failed to hit the target with a volley and it remained all square going into the break. Mohamed Diomande had a shot well saved by Dundee keeper Jon McCracken not long after the restart. The visitors took the lead just moments later when Astley sent a looping header over Jack Butland and into the net to make it 1-0 just five minutes into the second-half. Things went from bad to worse for Rangers, who were reduced to ten men on the hour mark when Djiga was shown a straight red card for a last-man challenge on Robertson to halt his charge towards Butland's goal. The home side were thrown a lifeline in the last minute of normal time when they were awarded a penalty for a foul on Gassama inside the box. Captain James Tavernier stepped up and slotted the ball into the bottom corner to make it 1-1 going into injury time. Cyriel Dessers thought he had won it deep into added-on time when he had the ball in the net, but the goal was ruled out for offside, and the game ended in a draw.
