Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn undercard tips: Odds, and betting preview
THE EYES of the boxing world will descend on London this weekend when Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn finally come face-to-face at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
While this fight will no doubt grab the headlines, the card also boasts a packed undercard, with several of the biggest names in British boxing, including Anthony Yarde, Liam Smith, and Chris Billam-Smith, lacing up their gloves.
Join me as I explore some of the best bets the undercard has to offer in this Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn undercard betting guide.
Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn undercard odds
Saturday's undercard promises to provide plenty of surprises. As you can see from the odds reflected below, the bookies are expecting many of the fights to be close, with the exception of the Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur showdown. Let's break down each fighter's odds with some of the UK's top boxing bookmakers.
Liam Smith vs Aaron McKenna
Liam Smith to win - 6/5 with bet365
Aaron McKenna to win - 4/6 with bet365
Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur
Anthony Yarde to win - 1/8 with Betfred
Lyndon Arthur to win - 5/1 with Betfred
Chris Billam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton
Liam Smith vs Aaron McKenna betting tip
Liam Smith is back in action for the first time in over 18 months when he faces up-and-coming Irish star Aaron McKenna. Let's take a look at the best bet to place on the fight.
Aaron McKenna to Win Via Decision
Youth meets experience on Saturday night when Aaron McKenna takes on Liam Smith. This fight feels very much like two boxers passing one another in their respective careers, with McKenna on his way up the division and Smith on his way down.
We have not seen Smith fight since his loss to Chris Eubank Jr. at the end of 2023, while McKenna has not fought an opponent of his calibre yet. I anticipate McKenna's fitness being the deciding factor, with him scoring the biggest win of his career against Smith on his way out. I recommend backing Aaron McKenna to win via decision at 13/8 with bet365.
Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur betting tip
Anthony Yarde and Lyndon Arthur round out their trilogy when they come face-to-face in London this weekend. Arthur scored the first win in 2020, but Yarde was quick to avenge his loss, beating his opponent in style in 2021. The following is my best bet for Saturday's deciding encounter.
Anthony Yarde to Win via KO/TKO/DQ
Anthony Yarde is the heavy favourite heading into Saturday's fight, with Betfred pricing him at 1/8 to take the win. As such, I believe there is value in backing Yarde to win via KO/TKO/DQ at 4/9. Yarde dispatched Arthur with relative ease during their rematch in 2021, and while Arthur may hold a win over his opponent, personal circumstances at the time made it a tough fight for Yarde.
He will be focused on Saturday night and will look to secure a third stoppage in four fights. Bet on Anthony Yarde to win via KO/TKO/DQ at 4/9 with Betfred.
Chris Billam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton betting tip
Chris Billam-Smith is another veteran looking to get back to winning ways following a defeat to Gilberto Ramirez in Saudi Arabia.
This will not be easy, though, with Brandon Glanton expected to cause some serious problems for the former champ. The following is my pick for the best bet in the Chris Billam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton fight.
Chris Billam-Smith to win via Points
Chris Billam-Smith will be looking to bounce back from his loss to Gilberto Ramirez when he steps foot inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.
The 36-year-old has lost some of his KO power in the last few years, but I still fancy him to pick apart Brandon Glanton over the course of the fight this weekend. You can back Chris Billam-Smith to win via decision at 6/4 with talkSPORT BET.

‘Nervous' Emma Raducanu enjoys win with Katie Boulter in rare doubles outing
Raducanu had before this played doubles just once, partnering Clara Tauson in round one of the 2022 Washington Open, and alongside Boulter was fully backed by the home crowd on the packed and more intimate Court One. The WTA 500 event marks the first time in 52 years Queen's has hosted women's tennis, and while the pairing of British number one Boulter and number two Raducanu were not quite ready to submit their entries to Wimbledon, there were hugs and fist-pumps aplenty as they got their grass court seasons underway. Friends who win together 🤗@WTA | #HSBCChampionships — LTA (@the_LTA) June 9, 2025 'I was actually very nervous before the match,' said 2021 US Open champion Raducanu, who will take on Spanish qualifier Cristina Bucsa in her opening singles match on Tuesday afternoon. 'I don't know if you could tell, but, yeah, probably more nervous than the singles, because I just didn't necessarily know what to do. 'I'm really happy once we got out there, Katie made me feel so comfortable, and I'm just so pleased to get a win.' This Queen's partnership, Raducanu revealed, came 'spontaneously', after a few close calls where she and Boulter nearly joined forces at Madrid, Paris and Miami. Asked it could extend as far as Wimbledon, Raducanu replied: 'We haven't spoken about it. It worked pretty well, so we're just going to keep on trying to do as best we can this week.' Boulter joked: 'Scrap what she said – we're going for the Wimbledon title! No, I'm just kidding.' The British pair claimed an early break in the first set and extended their lead to 4-2 before Wu and Jiang drew level at 4-4. Boulter and Raducanu broke back and eventually claimed the opening set, converting their second set point. Momentum in their favour, the Britons made quicker work of the pair from China and Chinese Taipei in the second set, sealed emphatically by Raducanu's volley. Fans on social media were quick to complain that the match was not available to watch in full on the BBC, who did occasionally cut to the British pair but focused on the action on the newly-christened Andy Murray Arena, where the three-time grand slam winner was honoured in a morning ceremony. The PA news agency understands contractural considerations between a number of stakeholders – including the WTA and LTA – contributed to the contest being held on the smaller court. PA has contacted the BBC for comment. Raducanu did not mind the venue, adding: 'I think sometimes on the smaller courts youb get a bigger feel for the match, the atmosphere and the environment, because it's a lot closer, more intimate, and you hear the support more. 'For me, I love playing on those smaller, outside courts where you really feel the support and the crowd gets into it. I was filling my bottle up, and I was literally having a chat in the stands because that's how close it is.' Elsewhere, British number three Sonay Kartal got her singles campaign off to a winning start with a 6-1 3-6 6-3 victory over Australia's world number 16 Daria Kasatkina.

Andy Murray has stadium named after him as tennis icon apologises to fans during unveiling
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANDY MURRAY was in attendance at The Queen's Club this morning for the unveiling of the 'Andy Murray Arena' ahead of the 2025 HSBC Championships. A decision was made last summer to re-name the centre court at the historic English venue following the tennis icon's retirement.

The two-time Wimbledon champion returned to the court for the first time in a year to commemorate the special occasion. It's a venue which holds many memories for the Dunblane star, who said when addressing the crowd: "I've obviously missed being out here. First time not being involved in a grass court season in a while, but I've got a new life now and enjoying being away from the sport. 'It's cool, this tournament and this court has had many special moments for me. It's the place, the tournament not the court, where I won my first match on the ATP Tour, 'It was my most successful event; I always love coming back here at the start of the British summer. "I'm very proud of the results I had here. I'm very grateful and thankful for whoever it was who decided to name the stadium this was.' He was given a guard of honour by the ball kids as he made his way out onto the court. Murray was then joined by former British tennis player and tournament director of the HSBC Championships WTA event, Laura Robson, 10-year-old Gloria Pearce from the Queen's Club Foundation and seven-year-old Jay Ikanone from Greenhouse Sport for a quick doubles match. But before he even picked up his racket, Murray, 38, admitted he was feeling rusty after a year out. He joked: 'My tennis is diabolical nowadays so apologies for what you're about to witness but I'll give it a go'. Moment Andy Murray holes stunning putt from off the green in challenge match with brother Jamie - but rivals have last laugh Murray ended up winning both points with his partner Gloria. He was then given the honour of doing the coin toss for the first match of the WTA 500 event between Petra Kvitova and Beatriz Haddad Maia. It was a highly-anticipated match as it's first time in 52 years that a women's event has been held in London. Haddad Maia came out on top over three sets, winning the second and third set 6-4 after losing the opener 6-2. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
