The initial appeal for a fight between Eubank Jr and Conor Benn was largely predicated on the success of each man’s father, where the prospect almost acted like a quasi-continuation of their fathers’ previous rivalry. Eubank Jr is, of course, the son of Chris Eubank, former WBO champion at both middleweight and supper middle. On the other side, Benn is the son of Nigel Benn, who also held the WBO belt at middleweight, and he was also the WBC super middleweight champion. These former two-division champions fought twice, first in 1990, when Eubank won the WBO middleweight title against Benn. Then they fought again in 1993, this time in a unification bout at super middleweight, where Eubank and Benn each retained their respective WBO and WBC titles, after the rematch ended in a draw.

The two sons were originally scheduled to fight in October 2022, but just days before the fight was supposed to happen, Benn tested positive for a banned substance and the fight was subsequently technically postponed. Now that it finally happened, it wound up greatly exceeding expectations, ultimately evolving into a bona fide Fight of the Year candidate.
