BOMBSHELL: Boxing Superstars Set to Clash in Long-Awaited Showdown as Financial Terms Agreed

After a two-year wait, boxing fans can now rejoice as Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn have agreed to terms for their highly-anticipated bout. The fight had previously been cancelled in 2022, with Benn facing intense scrutiny over two failed anti-doping tests. However, a decision made by the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) has cleared his name of any wrongdoing.

Benn, who was found to have elevated levels of clenbuterol in his system, initially faced a ban that would put his entire career in jeopardy. However, following a lengthy investigation and review of the evidence, the NADP concluded that the consumption of the banned substance was not intentional.

The verdict was met with widespread relief among the boxing community, and discussions surrounding a potential rematch with Eubank Jr. quickly gained momentum. Negotiations were complex and protracted, but both camps managed to find common ground.

While the exact date of the fight has yet to be confirmed, insiders close to the negotiations believe that a summer showdown in 2025 is likely. A number of high-profile venues have already been reserved, with London's O2 Arena a favourite to host the big event.

A significant sticking point in the discussions revolved around the purse split, but it appears that a compromise has been reached. According to sources close to the negotiations, Benn will take a larger share of the purse, believed to be in the region of 55% to 45% in favour of the former WBA Continental champion.

Despite the controversy that has surrounded him in the past, there can be no denying the depth of talent that Benn brings to the table. With a professional record of 21-0, the former WBA Continental champion is widely regarded as one of the rising stars of British boxing.

Chris Eubank Jr., on the other hand, has also built a formidable reputation during his own illustrious career. A former IBO world title holder, Eubank Jr. boasts an impressive record of 32-2 and will undoubtedly provide a stern test for Benn when the pair meet in the ring.

As discussions surrounding the fight continue to gather pace, fans of both fighters can eagerly anticipate what promises to be one of the most-highly anticipated showdowns in recent boxing history. With the stage set for an epic battle, the only question that remains is: who will emerge victorious when two of the sports' most gifted fighters go head-to-head in the summer of 2025?
