Hearn on the Uniqueness of Eubank vs. Benn: “When Will We See Anything Like This Again?”

Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn believes the upcoming clash between IBO middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 KOs) and super welterweight contender Conor Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) is more than just a fight — it’s a once-in-a-generation event.

“When are we ever going to get something like this again?” Hearn asked.

“Every age group, every demographic knows about Eubank vs. Benn.

The older generation watched those two epic fights between their fathers.

My generation grew up knowing the dads — and now we’re watching their sons.

And the younger fans? They know Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn as modern stars.”

For Hearn, the bout represents the richest legacy story British boxing has to offer:

“We’re talking about two of the most iconic names in British boxing history.

This is the biggest rivalry in the sport’s UK history.

And now, their sons — not just influencers or gamers, but world-level fighters — are carrying it forward.”

He compared it to one of the most explosive UK fights of the last decade:

“It’s Froch vs. Groves all over again.

You’ll see the same kind of war — and the same kind of knockout from our guy,” said Hearn, referencing his fighter Conor Benn.

The grudge match is set for April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
