The boxing world is reeling from a fiery outburst by heavyweight veteran Derek Chisora, who launched a verbal assault on Chris Eubank Jr ahead of his highly anticipated rematch with Conor Benn. Scheduled for September 27, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the rematch has already sparked intense debate, and Chisora’s bold prediction has only added fuel to the fire.

Chisora, known for his no-nonsense demeanor and a record of 34-13, took to social media to target Eubank Jr, who defeated Conor Benn by unanimous decision on April 26, 2025. In a heated post, Chisora declared, “Eubank Jr won’t survive the rematch! Conor’s coming for blood, and that pretty boy’s done.” The comment comes amid ongoing tension following Eubank Jr’s $7 million purse demand, which has complicated negotiations, and Chisora’s support for the younger Benn suggests a personal stake in the outcome.

The first fight was a grueling 12-round war, with Eubank Jr’s mid-fight style shift securing a 116-112 victory across all judges’ scorecards, despite Conor’s resilience. Chisora, a former sparring partner of Conor, argued that the 23-year-old Benn has refined his approach, stating, “Conor’s stronger, smarter now. Eubank got lucky last time.” Fans on X are split, with one writing, “Chisora’s right—Conor’s hungry for this,” while another countered, “Eubank Jr’s too skilled, Derek’s just hyping.”

Eubank Jr, now 34-3, has remained focused, posting training clips that showcase his conditioning, but Chisora’s attack has intensified the narrative. Promoter Eddie Hearn acknowledged the stakes, noting, “Derek’s got a point—Conor’s motivated, but Chris is ready too.” The rematch, backed by Turki Alalshikh, promises a blockbuster showdown, with Chisora’s prediction raising the ante on whether Eubank Jr can withstand a vengeful Benn.

As the countdown begins, the boxing community is on edge, eager to see if Chisora’s forecast holds true or if Eubank Jr will silence his critics once more in this electrifying rivalry.
