BREAKING NEWS: Eddie Hearn Just STUNS Boxing Fans With SHOCKING Updates For Eubank Jr Vs Benn Rematch! “JR WANTS $7 MILLION!”

In a jaw-dropping revelation, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has sent shockwaves through the fight world with explosive updates on the highly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn, slated for September 27, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Hearn dropped a bombshell, confirming that Eubank Jr. is demanding a staggering $7 million purse, a figure that has sparked intense debate among fans and insiders alike.

The first clash between Eubank Jr. and Benn on April 26, 2025, was a thrilling 12-round war, with Eubank Jr. securing a unanimous decision victory despite a grueling battle that saw both fighters pushed to their limits. The fight, marked by Eubank Jr.’s mid-fight style change and Benn’s relentless heart, was hailed as a modern classic, fueling immediate calls for a rematch. However, Hearn’s latest comments, made during a Sky Sports interview on June 19, 2025, reveal that negotiations are hitting a financial snag. “Jr. wants $7 million, and he’s not budging,” Hearn stated. “It’s a massive ask, but this fight could fill Wembley. We’re working with His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] to make it happen.”

Hearn’s announcement has stunned fans, with some on X praising Eubank Jr.’s bold demand as a reflection of the fight’s blockbuster potential, while others accuse him of pricing himself out. “$7M for Eubank? He’s dreaming! Benn’s the draw,” one X user posted, while another countered, “Jr. proved he’s the A-side. Pay the man!” The financial tension echoes past disputes, including a £1 million bet Eubank Jr. accepted from Hearn before their first fight, which Hearn couldn’t honor due to British Boxing Board of Control regulations.

Adding to the drama, Hearn reiterated concerns about the rematch’s toll on Benn, who moved up two weight classes to middleweight for the first bout. “Conor’s desperate to run it back, but these fights shorten careers,” Hearn cautioned, suggesting Eubank Jr. should drop closer to 154 pounds to level the playing field. Despite this, Benn, who posted training footage on X last week, remains adamant about revenge, saying, “September 27, I’m taking what’s mine.”

The rematch, already contracted with terms mirroring the first fight’s purse structure, is backed by Saudi financier Turki Alalshikh, who has reserved September 27 at Spurs. However, Eubank Jr.’s $7 million demand could complicate negotiations, especially after his controversial weight miss and $500,000 fine in April. Hearn, while confident, admitted, “We got the numbers spot-on last time, but Jr.’s pushing hard now.”

The saga is further intensified by the personal stakes. Eubank Sr.’s surprise appearance at the first fight, reportedly influenced by Alalshikh, added emotional weight, and his presence is expected again. Meanwhile, Nigel Benn predicted a knockout, claiming Conor “bullied” top sparring partners like William Scull.

As the boxing world buzzes, Hearn’s revelation of Eubank Jr.’s $7 million demand has raised the stakes for what could be Britain’s biggest fight of 2025. Will the rematch deliver another classic, or will financial hurdles derail it? Fans are on edge, awaiting the next move in this high-stakes drama.
