THE much-anticipated grudge match between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jnr is set to finally take place in April.

The duo will reignite their historical feud in London, their initial bout in October 2022 having been called off due to Benn failing a voluntary drug test on fight week.

Benn’s two-year battle to clear his name saw his suspension lifted in November.
