Eubank Jr. vs Benn II exclusively on DAZN - Nov 15

Conor Benn has hit out at Chris Eubank Jr. 's decision to delay their blockbuster rematch, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View this month.

The pair played out an entertaining first bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April, with the latter victorious by unanimous decision.

Plans for a rematch were originally set for September before Eubank Jr. withdrew from the original date, forcing a postponement.

The pair will now meet on November 15, but Benn remains frustrated by a two-month wait as he bids for a world title shot next year.

Benn: "I want to get a world title, unlike you!"

"It was announced for September 20 straight after the fight," he said on DAZN's Face Off . "He's just coming out with some nonsense.

"You had to go to a doctor and submit medical evidence to Turki Alalshikh or the team or whoever it was to make the fight happen

"So you were definitely going to be ready for September 20. You jumped back to the UK to have a meeting to rearrange the fight.

"I wanted to push on for world titles so really, I'm delaying. I want to get a world title, unlike you. I want to get a world title, unlike you.

"Wembley was booked, by the way. There were maybe six weeks of negotiations, with the date and venue set. What happened, Chris?"

Eubank Jr.: "We want to obstruct!"

Eubank Jr. conversely countered that his original win allows him to set the terms, adding: "I don't need to fight when you want to fight.

"I decided I didn't want to fight September 20, because you did. This kid wants to fight September 20, so y'know what? We're not going to do it.

"I don't give a damn when this kid wants to fight, we're going to fight when I want to fight. I won. We don't have to march to the beat of his people.

"We want to delay. We want to obstruct, to make sure these people [Benn and Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn] don't get what they want."
