Eubank Jr vs Benn - April 26 on DAZN PPV - Buy now

Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn will reignite their rivalry when they contest a fascinating rematch at The Ring: Unfinished Businsess this November live on DAZN Pay-Per-View.

Following in the footsteps of their fathers Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, the duo will play out the fourth fight between their surnames, seven months after their first clash.

Then, Eubank Jr. scored a unanimous decision victory with identical 116-112 scorecards - but the smaller Benn made him work for his victory as the pair went the distance.

Their return brings them back to the scene of the first crime in their latest trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, despite speculation they would fight elsewhere in London.

Here, DAZN News has everything you need to know about the Premier League venue, including capacity, past events and more ahead of this fascinating blockbuster.

What is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is located in the Tottenham district of London, within the north of the city, and specifically within the London Borough of Haringey.

The home of Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur, it is partially built on the site of their former ground White Hart Lane, which it replaced after it was demolished.

The 62,850-capacity venue is the third-largest football-specific stadium in the United Kingdom, after Wembley Stadium and Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United.

When did Tottenham Hotspur Stadium open?

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened in 2019, the centrepiece of the area's Northumberland Development Project, having previously broken ground in 2016.

At a price of £1billion, it was one of the most expensive sports infrastructure projects of the period in the city, and took three years to complete before it opened.

It opened behind schedule in April, with a 2-0 victory for Spurs over Crystal Palace, with goals from Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen the difference.

What boxing events has Tottneham Hotspur Stadium hosted?

Eubank Jr. and Benn's second bout headlines the fourth major fight card at the venue, and follows on the heels of the third, when they both met for their first fight in April.

Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk was the first headline bout held here in 2021, when the Ukrainian seized the Briton's titles to unite the heavyweight division.

A year later, Tyson Fury completed his trilogy bout against Derek Chisora at the venue too, securing a tenth-round technical knockout to add another win to his collection.

What other events has Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosted?

As its name suggests, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is primarily the home of Tottenham Hotspur, who host their domestic and international home games here every season.

It is arguably most recognised beyond however as one of the key venues for the NFL London Series, having hosted multiple American football games since it opened in 2019.

Rugby union and rugby league have held their European Rugby Champions Cup and Challenge Cup Finals here too, while it is also a popular concert venue for touring artists.

Will Tottenham Hotspur Stadium host any other future fight cards?

Though discussions originally suggested that a Eubank Jr.-Benn rematch could take place at Wembley Stadium, the pair's return speaks to the appeal this venue has.

With a design influenced by the new generation of American super-stadiums, it offers a comparatively more intimate experience than most of its rivals across London.

Even as its calendar begins to fill for concerts next summer during the football off-season, it seems likely at least one big bout will return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
