Two legendary boxing names will go glove-to-glove this evening when Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn step into the ring at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Their sons now have picked up their mantels and will face each other tonight, having first been scheduled for fight back in 2022.
That bout was controversially called off after Benn tested positive for a banned substance. He was later cleared after a provisional two-year suspension and this evening sees the long-awaited event take place.

The bout between Eubank Jr and Benn is topping the bill called Fatal Fury, which takes places at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
It starts at 5pm, with the undercard kicking off around 15 minutes later.
It is always tricky to give exact start times in boxing but Eubank Jr and Benn is pencilled in for a 10pm start - this will be dependent on how long the fights on the undercard go on for.

Update: Date: 22:47 BST Title: Post Content: Itauma beats Whyte by stoppage Don't want to blow my own trumpet but we did predictions for this fight in the BBC Sport office and I was the only one to say Moses Itauma wins in the first round.

Update: Date: 22:38 BST Title: Post Content: Itauma beats Whyte by stoppage Worth noting that Whyte wasn't happy when the referee waved that off, he may say it was premature but it was hard to see how he could've recovered to see the round out.

'What next?' - Itauma blows away Whyte in one round
Moses Itauma needed less than two minutes to emphatically stop Dillian Whyte and further strengthen his credentials as the next heavyweight a card for the first time, the 20-year-old Briton rose to the occasion in what was billed as the biggest test of his career to some precise and powerful combinations, Itauma sent Whyte, 37, down with a thundering right. With 119 seconds on the clock, referee Mikael Hook waved off the fight after Whyte had climbed back to his has now won all 13 fights as a professional, with 11 of those victories coming by knockout."What is next? I will fight anyone they put in front of me," Itauma told DAZN. "[The crowd] are saying [undisputed champion Oleksandr] Usyk. The team mentioned they want me to get some rounds out. Any of them can happen."Itauma has only gone beyond the second round on two occasions and has eight first-round stoppages on his record. Itauma has shown maturity beyond his years since winning in just 23 seconds on his professional debut in 2023 - and has continued to excel with every step rivals Joseph Parker, Derek Chisora and Lawrence Okolie were among those watching at ringside as the rising star put on another statement Slovakia-born fighter walked first to the ring, despite being the A-side, but was made to wait for more than three minutes - longer than the fight lasted - by Whyte, who delayed his throwing a few early feints to get a read on his opponent, Itauma started to unload and quickly found the range for his heavy was clearly feeling the power and back on the ropes as Itauma picked his shots carefully.A right hook to the temple proved the telling blow and, despite bravely getting back to his feet, Whyte was deemed not fit to continue."How he did it, his temperament, control and composure - he fights better than guys at their peak and he is 20 years of age," Queensberry's Frank Warren, who promotes Itauma, told BBC Radio 5 Live."He did a job on somebody who has been at the best levels,"Despite getting into the shape of his career - weighing the lightest for 10 years - Whyte could not cut it with Itauma and questions linger over what remains at this stage of his dreams of becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in history ended in May but this victory puts him firmly on track for a title shot in boxing's glamour division in the next 12 Tyson Fury in retirement, Anthony Joshua in the twilight of his career and Daniel Dubois losing his IBF title to Usyk last month, Itauma once again demonstrated he is the great British heavyweight hope in waiting. 'I don't want to call out Usyk' Itauma has been carefully managed through the first two years of his career and it is unlikely he will be rushed into a fight beyond his means to put all that hard work in champion Usyk remains the man to beat, but Itauma is happy to take another step before potentially going up against the two-weight great."I put on a performance for you guys so it's now 'who's next?'," Itauma said."I don't want to call out Usyk because I don't believe I deserve the opportunity, but guys that do deserve the opportunity - I want to fight those lot. "So maybe Agit Kabayel, maybe Joseph Parker. Maybe them type of names."Parker is certainly not afraid to take on a challenge - as he showed by taking on the widely avoided Martin Bakole on just two days' notice and earning a stunning win."[Itauma] is a great talent," Parker told BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra."He put on a great display in terms of power, aggression and picking his shots. For a 20 year-old to be under the lights, he took the pressure on."I would love to share the ring with him one day and we probably will."

GB's Ball battles past Goodman to retain world title
Briton Nick Ball retained his WBA featherweight title with a battling performance to beat Sam Goodman by unanimous decision in Saudi Liverpudlian remains Britain's only reigning male world champion after the judges scored it 118-110, 117-111 and 28, suffered a cut to the side of his right eye in the final round but otherwise looked comfortable back in the country where he won the belt in June extending his undefeated record to 23 wins and one draw, he looked deflated when he gave his post-fight interview in the ring."It was good - it wasn't the best performance but we got the job done," Ball told DAZN."I think I got into it a bit too much, but the main thing is that everyone is enjoying what they are watching." The 5ft 2in (1.57m) Ball struggled to find his range in the early rounds and was consistently caught on entry as Goodman sat on the back foot.'The Wrecking Ball', who made his professional debut in a Liverpool nightclub in 2017, was marked up around his nose by the time he settled into began to have success by changing levels and stances - switching between his traditional orthodox and southpaw - landing heavy with a straight right in the was always stalking the Australian and a stinging one-two in round seven drew a reaction from both Goodman and the crowd at ANB Arena in fighting outside of his homeland for the first time, rarely committed to combinations and trusted that he could pick Ball apart with a precise jab - but many of his punches landed on the the contest seemingly getting away from Goodman, who was sporting a bruise under his right eye, his corner stressed that he "could not afford to drop another round" after the as a pressure fighter, Ball turned up the tempo in the latter stages with more combination work - ensuring he ended most rounds on top in a bid to impress the was cut in the corner of his right eye early in the final round but bit down on his gumshield as the pair exchanged right on the bell to punctuate a highly entertaining could be next for Ball - with Stephen Fulton holding the WBC belt, Angelo Leo in possession of the IBF title and Rafael Espinoza the WBO also has ambitions to take on Japan's undisputed super-bantamweight champion Naoya a four-weight world champion, boasts a perfect 30-0 record, with 27 of those victories coming via knockout, and victory over the Japanese fighter would propel Ball to global stardom. Hrgovic beats Adeleye in entertaining affair Earlier in the night, British heavyweight David Adeleye suffered the second loss of his career with a unanimous decision defeat by Filip three judges gave it to Hrgovic, 33, with two cards reading 99-90 and the other Croatian was cut above his right eye in round three but came on strong to put Adeleye down with a clubbing right in the eighth, moments after the Londoner had stuck out his tongue Adeleye came back with a barrage of punches after climbing off the canvas but he emptied the tank and had little to offer as Hrgovic saw it through to the final is a second successive win for Hrgovic, having beaten Joe Joyce in April, since losing against Daniel Dubois for the interim IBF title in 2024.
