This was revealed by promoter Ben Shalom.\n\nEubank will face Benn for the second time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, after having won their first encounter by unanimous decision in April.\n\nAccording to the terms of the contract, both pugilists are obligated to fight twice. The rematch will also be held at the middleweight limit of 160 pounds, with a 10-pound rehydration clause, as it was in the first fight.\n\nIn case of victory, Eubank will seek a mega fight against \u00c1lvarez or even Terence Crawford in the first part of 2026.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;[2026 is] a great year for Eubank,&#8221; Shalom stated.<\/p><cite>Ben Shalom<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nShalom added: &#8220;I think he will overcome this decisively [against Benn] and then he will want the best.
