Nigel Eubank Jr v Conor Benn 2 LIVE - Fighters set to renew hostilities at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
TNT Sports
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will fight for the second time as their feud continues at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London on Saturday evening. The two fighters first clashed in April 2025, and it was Eubank who carried the night. Both fighters have been talking up the clash with the bitter rivalry set to be renewed to headline a massive card.
Gilley-Davis: Round 10
Gilley is still moving a lot in an attempt to keep Davis at bay but crucially his left hand remains low leaving him a sitting duck to Davis' right hands. You can't fault his effort but it is having no effect at present with Davis landing two or three times to one coming back and a particularly brutal one-two which rocked Gilley.
Gilley-Davis: Round 9
Gilley starts quite well but a body shot from Davis saw him physically wilt and he took a combination of hooks upstairs following up. He bravely fires back but his shots are having no effect on Davis now. It looks a matter of if, not when, Davis has his hand raised.
Gilley-Davis: Round 8
Davis is dominating most of the fight now with Gilley unable to or unwilling to use his jab from range. Gilley still has moments like with a right uppercut, right to the body downstairs but he is losing the fight now.
Gilley-Davis: Round 7
Gilley has blood streaming from his nose now as Davis is now continually coming forward. Gilley is still landing a bit but the cleaner and more powerful shots are coming from the challenger. Gilley reacts to Hearn saying 'wooah' at a shot from Davis which missed and repeats the shout to the promoter when he lands shortly afterwards.
Gilley-Davis: Round 6
Davis turns aggressor in this round, with uppercut and hooks in close but Gilley takes a step back and lands with his own straight right hands and hook to the body. He is warned twice for low blows - next time a point will be deducted. Gilley's right eye is closing and Davis is looking to take advantage with left uppercuts and hooks. A fantastic end to the round sees both launching shots. Gilley is still in there but it feels the fight is turning Davis' way.
Gilley-Davis: Round 5
Gilley started the better landing with shots in the first half of the round while Davis was more passive. Davis came back into the contest in the midways point though was stopped by a body shot which was just about on the border. They each have moments in the closing moments, Gilley to the body and Davis countering with a left hook upstairs.
Gilley-Davis: Round 4
A better round for Davis. Gilley being a little too impetuous getting in close where Davis, with his shorter reach, is more suited and can land combinations. His work is far more clean which may help him when it comes to close rounds.
Gilley-Davis: Round 3
Gilley with good work crowding Davis and landing shots trapping his opponent against the ropes. He throws one south of the border which Davis takes just a few seconds to get over. Gilley with another good right to the body, but Davis comes back with a straight right and uppercut near the end of the round.
Gilley-Davis: Round 2
Davis looks sharper in this round, landing flush on Gilley with counters, especially from the southpaw stance, moving in and out of range.
Gilley-Davis: Round 1
Gilley probably takes the fight by virtue of being more aggressive but not much from either fighter really. Davis keeps shifting from orthodox to southpaw to stop his opponent getting rhythm and entice errors.
Not many in attendance yet
But a moment for the Spurs fan Gilley walking in nonetheless, with a cockerel on his coat and Olly Murs carrying his belts.
Gilley is a 3/1 underdog in this contest. It is a testament to how well Davis has fought as the away fighter on recent bills.
Light-middles up next...
Sam Gilley (18-1-1, 9 KOs) takes on Ishmael Davis (14-3, 6 KOs) defending his British and Commonwealth titles.
Tallon stops Shahid in Round 5!
Shahid is being forced to go backwards throughout the round as Tallon lifts the tempo and lands good left hooks upstairs which rocked the outsider. With the end of the round in sight an uppercut Shahid doesn't see sends the fighter to the canvas. Though he gets up and the bell rings, Shahid is wobbling and the referee waves the fight off.
Tallon-Shahid: Round 4
Shahid has some success early with body shots which force Tallon on the back foot, but he soon establishes control again mixing jabs to the body and head.
Tallon-Shahid: Round 3
Tallon landing the right hand more upstairs with some nice looking uppercuts. The round ends with both with bloody noses.
Tallon-Shahid: Round 2
Shahid was hurt again by a body shot, this time a right hand downstairs. He has not lost ambition though and is still matching Tallon for leather thrown, if not landing.
Tallon-Shahid: Round 1
Tallon showing his range of punches with an accurate jab and a nasty left hook to the body. One of which saw Shahid wince. Shahid's best hope is landing a right counter off the jab.
Thinking about the big fight...
The first fight was a slugfest but both will likely look to be more savvy tonight.
Eubank was not accurate enough with the jab to keep Benn at bay, while the Dark Destroyer's son allowed his opponent to crowd him, bully him on the inside and blanket his work.
The little guys will get us underway
A flyweight contest between Mikie Tallon (10-0, 1 KO) and Fezan Shahid 4-2-2. Not a fight you'd expect fireworks in but 1/25 shot Tallon would hope to get a second stoppage win.
