In their first encounter, Eubank Jr. won by unanimous decision in April.\n\nThe contractual agreement obliges both boxers to face each other twice. The rematch will take place in the middleweight category, with a limit of 160 pounds and a rehydration clause of 10 pounds, as happened in the first fight.\n\nIn the event of victory, Eubank Jr. will seek a major showdown 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>\u201c2026 is going to be a great year [for Eubank].\u201d<\/p><cite>Ben Shalom<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nShalom added:\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;I think he will come out victorious in a resounding manner [against Benn] and then he will want to face the best.
