Chris Eubank Jr v Conor Benn II: middleweight boxing rematch – live updates

  • Fathers’ feud echoes as sons meet for final chapter

  • Rehydration clause looms over high-stakes rematch

Buffer has just finished making the fighter announcements as 50 Cent remained in Eubank’s corner. A crackling atmosphere at Tottenham’s home ground. The waiting is over. The final instructions have been given by the referee, the seconds are out and we’ll pick it up with round-by-round coverage from here!

Miami Gardens police confirmed they are investigating the alleged incident, which Rossel says occurred at the strip club where she works. She was granted a restraining order shortly afterwards.
