The Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn main card features one of boxing's most anticipated fights, set for April 26. However, before the main event, four other bouts take place, with Chris Billam-Smith vs. Brandon Glanton being among them.
The two men, who have identical 20-2 records, will lock horns in a cruiserweight matchup set for 10 rounds. Then, in a division below, Anthony Yarde, who is 26-3, takes on Lyndon Arthur, who is 24-2, in a light heavyweight clash, also scheduled for 10 rounds.
Afterward, ex-KSI trainer Viddal Riley puts his 12-0 unbeaten record on the line in a bid to dethrone the 10-1 Cheavon Clarke, who is the current British cruiserweight champion. The pair compete over 12 rounds. In a much lighter weight class, Liam Smith will make his return from a near-two-year sabbatical.

The former WBO super welterweight champion, whose current record is 33-4-1, faces young, undefeated, 19-0 Irish sensation, Aaron McKenna, in a middleweight matchup. Finally, there's the main event, which pits Eubank Jr. and Benn in a repeat of their fathers' historic clash.
The two men meet at middleweight, and while no title is on the line, pride certainly is. The buildup to their bout has been defined by trash talk, theatrics, and near-brawls. Neither man will want to lose to the other. Eubank Jr., at the very least, has no pressure of being undefeated, having a record of 34-3.
The same cannot be said for Benn, who is 23-0 and eager to prove himself after his 2024 campaign was derailed by an anti-doping scandal.
