Now that the National Anti-Doping Panel have lifted Benn&#8217;s provisional suspension, it seems the fight could be on once again.<\/p>\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/chris-eubank-jr-net-worth-career-earnings-fight-purses-endorsements\/\">Chris Eubank Jr<\/a>&#8216;s latest win in October of Kamil Szeremeta on one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/his-excellency-turki-alalshikh-net-worth-personal-life-background\/\">His Excellency Turki Alalshikh<\/a>&#8216;s Riyadh Season cards, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/conor-benn-world-title-shot-mario-barrios\/\">Conor Benn<\/a> and &#8216;Next Gen&#8217; went head-to-head in the ring. This sent boxing fans into a frenzy, with it fairly obvious the fight was on for early 2025.<\/p>\n<p>However, as of yet there is still to be any further announcement. That being said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/chris-eubank-jr-next-fight\/\">Chris Eubank Jr<\/a>&#8216;s promoter Ben Shalom has revealed he is optimistic that the fight can get signed and sealed by the end of the week.<\/p>\n<p>A date and venue is yet to be confirmed as well, but it is likely the all-British fight could head to Saudi Arabia. That is unless it happens in the summer in the UK, meaning it could take place at somewhere like Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n<h3>Ben Shalom: &#8216;If A Deal Is Going To be Made, It&#8217;s Going To Be Made This Week&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, Ben Shalom revealed that talks for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/chris-eubank-jr-accepts-conor-benn-purse-splits\/\">Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn<\/a> clash are ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Although nothing is confirmed as of yet, Shalom is hopeful that a deal can be reached by the end of the week, with the fight officially signed and sealed once and for all. Talks have been dragged on for a long time, but this is because of the sheer scale of the contest, according to the Boxxer man.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;If a deal is going to be made, it&#8217;s going to be made this week. We want to make the fight; they want to make the fight, but now it&#8217;s crunch time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It can be hard with a fight of this magnitude, particularly when there is so much bad blood. It&#8217;s not like the first time, there&#8217;s a genuine rivalry now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s one of the biggest fights out there for British boxing alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/anthony-joshua-tyson-fury-fight-2025\/\">Fury vs Joshua<\/a>. I believe it sells out any stadium in the country,&#8221;<\/em> Shalom told <em>Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell whether or not the Eubank Jr vs Benn fight will be signed and sealed this week. It would be a travesty for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/boxing\/\">boxing<\/a> fans if it doesn&#8217;t go ahead, but would undoubtedly be one of the biggest fights of 2025 if it were to be announced.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>Be sure to claim the various boxing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/betting-sites\/offers\/\">betting offers and free bet deals<\/a>\u00a0available on the\u00a0<em>SportsCasting<\/em> site ahead of Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British boxing promoter Ben Shalom admits talks for the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn super-fight have reached &#8216;crunch time&#8217;, with the fight negotiations at a crucial stage with pending announcement.
