What weight is Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn being fought at?

The talking finally stops on Saturday night when Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn step between the ropes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A sold-out crowd will watch the two British rivals go head-to-head, 32 years after their fathers did so for a second time.

Here’s all you need to know about the weight limits and rehydration clause…

The two fighters must make the 160lbs middleweight limit at Friday’s weigh-in.

There is also a rehydration clause in place, with neither fighter able to put on more than 10lbs before they take to the scales on Saturday morning.

After that second weigh-in, they will be free to refuel as much as they want, with Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn predicting that Eubank could enter the ring at close to 180lbs.

“The reason that the rehydration is in place is to not make it a seismic mismatch on the night,” Hearn said.

“Conor Benn will come into the ring at probably 162lbs. Eubank will come in at 175lbs or 180bs, so Conor will be giving probably over a stone away in the ring. That’s a huge amount of weight in boxing.

“So that’s why the hydration clause is there, just to make it fair really.”

Benn has spent the majority of his career at welterweight, meaning this is a significant step up from his usual 147lbs weight.
