Conor Benn insists that controlling his emotions will be the key to winning his rematch with Chris Eubank Jr.

In April, Eubank fought his way to an exciting 12-round decision over Benn in one of 2025's best fights.

The rivals will renew hostilities at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15. The middleweight rematch, sponsored by Riyadh Season and Ring Magazine, will be screened exclusively by DAZN worldwide.

After sharing the ring with Eubank, Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) believes he holds the physical edge over the 35-year-old and, during an interview with Boxing Now, listed his advantages: "Reaction timings, explosiveness, fitness, endurance," he said.

"I think what went against me — and the only thing that went against me — was my emotions but that's you versus you, so that's something I need to work on second time around."

Benn is fiery, passionate and will need to battle his natural instincts if he is to think his way through the return.

"It was definitely a weakness going into the fight I think, but there was a lot of emotions," he said.

"It was my first fight back home [in the UK] in almost three years. I think it was more so that I did want to hurt Chris and wanted to really give the fans the fight they wanted. But sometimes you have to be selfish and go, 'OK, maybe I need to make the fight more boring, win in a more technical fashion rather than going in there and doing what I want to do.'"

The first fight between them caught lightning in a bottle.

After a tumultuous, controversial two-and-a-half year buildup, the evening gathered momentum from the moment fans began filing into Hotspur Stadium.

From Chris Eubank Sr.'s dramatic reunion with his son to the nostalgia-themed ring walks, the 60,000 capacity crowd was at fever pitch by the time the first bell rung. The fight exceeded all expectations.

It would be surprising if the rematch were as violent as the first encounter given that a good proportion of the hatred built up will have been replaced by a grudging respect.

The rematch is still three months away but Benn admits, for the time being at least, emotions aren't running quite as hot.

"I don't like him. I don't think the spite's the same, I think I got it all out. Hopefully, I did," he said.

"I'm not really too bothered about him. He done well, is a lot more stronger and was more resilient than I thought.

"I just let myself down, really. I can't even look at him. I just look at myself and go, 'What were you doing in there?'"
