Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn, billed as Fatal Fury, is an upcoming middleweight professional boxing match contested between IBO middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn. The bout is scheduled to take place on 26 April 2025 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.

Originally, the bout was scheduled to take place on 8 October 2022 at The O2 Arena in London, England, but was postponed after Benn tested positive for clomifene.

Background
Rumors of a fight between English boxers Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn first surfaced in July 2022. On 10 August, the bout was officially announced to take place on 8 October at The O2 Arena in London at a catchweight of 157 Ibs. The bout was billed as "born rivals," a nod to the rivalry between the pair's fathers in the 1990s. However, on 5 October the event was cancelled after the British Boxing Board of Control prohibited Benn from participating after testing positive for clomifene.

Benn's promoters, Matchroom Sport, released a statement stating: "Benn has not been charged with any rule violation, he is not suspended, and he remains free to fight." Eubanks' promoter also said the fight will go ahead as scheduled. The following day both promoters announced the fight was postponed.

On 24 January 2025, Turki Alalshikh announced on social media that the bout between Eubank Jr. and Benn would be rescheduled for 26 April at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in partnership with The Ring and being named after the upcoming video game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves from SNK.
