Eddie Hearn has confirmed that the rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn will take place on September 20 under the same conditions as their first fight. No request has been made to renegotiate the weight terms. The fight will be at the middleweight limit of 160lb with an established rehydration clause. Hearn indicated that the existing contract stipulates identical terms to the initial bout. Eubank's previous weight-cutting methods are under scrutiny, but Hearn believes this issue may be exaggerated.
