Eubank vs Benn II Odds: The hotly-anticipated rematch sees ‘Next Gen’ start as favourite

British boxing’s unlikeliest success story of 2025 tempts fate again on Saturday, November 15 as Chris Eubank Jr rematches Conor Benn. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the reported venue, which should be fun during a British winter. The weight terms, sticking point in the controversial first meeting, are yet to be fully confirmed. 

Here is a look at the Eubank vs Benn II opening betting prices ahead of this highly anticipated rematch.

Eubank vs Benn II Odds

Eubank is the favourite, bolstered by his unanimous decision victory in the first contest. Benn is a live underdog at 6/4, having been extremely impressive in defeat. You can pick the draw at 14/1. Of course, the first fight between their fathers was won by Eubank Sr. The second was a draw…

Eubank vs Benn II Fight Preview

The first fight justified itself in 12 rounds of exhilarating action. To be frank, the bout between middleweight Eubank (who had fought as high as super middleweight) and career welterweight Benn should never have taken place. The match-up would never have been made had it pitted boxers by the names of Chris Jones and Conor Smith against each other.

But the eternal pull of the elder Eubank vs Benn rivalry made the fight a viable option. Chris Sr. and Nigel had two classic contests in the 1990s, with Eubank winning the finer first by ninth-round TKO in 1990 before sharing the spoils in an Old Trafford draw in 1993.

However, making promotional sense and making physical sense are two different things. The first scheduled date between the pair was nixed during the initial October 2022 fight week. News of Benn failing a PED test emerged that cancelled the fight at the 11th hour. ‘The Destroyer’ would later be cleared by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association and the National Anti-Doping Panel. UK Anti-Doping chose not to appeal the decision. Benn was back.

The weight would continue to be contentious. Negotiations raged over whether the weight should be at a catchweight or the usual 160lbs middleweight limit. BOXXER won that battle, but lost the war when a rehydration clause was added that meant neither man (but aimed more at Eubank, a former 168-pounder) could weigh over 170lbs on fight night.

But when all the talking was done. After the misty-eyed videos of better days, when their fathers entertained us like gladiators and walked the planet like gods. After the media churn and the late-panic when Eubank missed weight. Beyond Eubank slapping Benn with an egg (an incident your scribe wrongly predicted would be better than the fight); it was time to box.

Oh what boxing it was. Two fighters from entirely different weight classes, neither of whom have ever won a world title nor defeated an A-list opponent, convened to produce the finest fight to grace a British ring in 2025 so far. Eubank boxed adeptly and with grace. Benn forced him into a tear-up at times. Finally, for 36 bloody, unbowed minutes, each man strode confidently out of the shadow of their fathers.

I was of the opinion that the lid should be left on the lightning-filled bottle after that fight. Eubank could parlay his victory into finally fulfilling his dream of facing Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, possibly in a British stadium. Benn could attack the welterweight division with renewed vigour, having put on the performance of his career against a man two divisions larger than him.

But boxing is not a sport that deals in moderation. Rather than the combatants accepting they got away with it. That a fight that should never have happened was surprisingly enthralling, they have decided to go back to the well. 

One could point to the gigantic purse on offer, reportedly up from £15 million in the first match to £18 million this time. But with Canelo on the horizon for Eubank and Manny Pacquiao’s unlikely return at welterweight of interest to Benn, it is not like money could not be made elsewhere.

One wonders if this rematch is the result of stunted ambitions, at least on one side. Eubank will be 36 years old come fight night. The Brighton man is perhaps aware that finally winning a world title is beyond him, but earning millions of pounds for beating the same man twice is not. 

Benn is 28 and legitimately thinks he can win. A victory would propel him to superstar status, at least in Britain. For all the box office success and mainstream appeal over here, America and beyond viewed the first fight as nothing more than a curiosity. Even the rematch is unlikely to break those barriers, given the lack of significance it has towards the future of the middleweight division.

This is a uniquely British phenomenon, but there is nothing wrong with that. Boxing in this country is big business, with stadium fights becoming a regular occurrence. BOXXER are taking their stable to terrestrial with the BBC. Wasserman is on the national airwaves with Channel 5 while plenty of sports fans now subscribe to DAZN for the rest of the country’s boxing output. Fights like Eubank vs Benn II are a nationwide concern.

So how will it go? We’ve got Eubank as the 8/13 favourite three months out. He boxed brilliantly the first time and, barring a drastic change to the weight rules, he will comfortably out-size Benn. But ‘The Destroyer’ is eminently backable at 6/4. Benn looked dangerous the first time. He hurt ‘Next Gen’ more than initially anticipated. If he can put those powerful swings together in combination, it could be too much for his ageing opponent.

The draw is 14/1. An intriguing proposition because it echoes the rivalry of the fathers. But also, given how close the first encounter was, it is also a perfectly viable result.

Such a result would inevitably lead to the trilogy. I’d argue a Benn win in anything other than dominant fashion will do the same. I’d rather see the two take separate paths after this. But if the ATM keeps spitting out money, it is hard for even the most ambitious fighters to walk away.
