Eubank v Benn 2 Predictions & Undercard Tips
One card above all others, at least for British boxing fans, looks to dominate the headlines this weekend. Taking place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium again, it’ll be Eubank Jr vs Benn II.
If the first match wasn’t hard enough to bring together, the rematch has proven to be just as much of a nightmare for promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing.
To make that effort worthwhile, the rumble in North London has seen its undercard stacked up with superb British talents in what could be very close contests.
Here’s your Saturday Fight Night preview for 12 November 2025, looking at the top bouts and the boxing odds for each.
Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn
The current odds for Eubank Jr v Benn are as follows:
- Chris Eubank Jr – 8/11
- Draw – 14/1
- Conor Benn – 5/4
Back in April 2025, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn reignited the old rivalry of their fathers in rather petty fashion. Threats were made, eggs were slapped across temples, and weigh-in targets were missed.
Eubank Jr, who’s a good three inches taller than Benn, just missed the middleweight limit set for the fight of 160lbs, but did manage to stick to within the 10lbs rehydration limit. He was fined £375,000 for the miss.
Before walking into the ring, the two were a couple of pounds apart. Benn was expected to put his head down and drill into Eubank Jr, making the most of his speed and crafty power punches.
Instead, Eubank Jr was much more active, kept Benn at bay and even jabbed him into thinking twice about going on his usual charges. Eubank Jr landed 367 punches to Benn’s 215, was barely phased, and won 116-112 by UD.
As is often the case, the winner of the last bout is the favourite here. The Eubank Jr vs Benn odds see the previous victor ahead at 8/11, but Benn’s not counted out at 5/4.
Benn will need to be much busier, utilise the levels more, and try to land more meaningful power shots when he manages to get Eubank Jr in the corners. It’ll require a tenacity and bravery not shown by younger boxer last time.
Jack Catterall vs Ekow Essuman
The current odds for Catterall v Essuman are as follows:
- Jack Catterall – 4/9
- Draw – 16/1
- Ekow Essuman – 7/4
Fighting for the WBO’s global welterweight prize, Lancashire-born southpaw Jack Catterall looks to work his way back to World title contention by following on from his technical win over Harlem Eubank in July of this year.
That fight saw the now 31-2 Catterall go seven rounds with the then 21-0 Eubank – Eubank Jr’s cousin – in an incredibly bloody clash. An accidental clash of heads led to both sustaining significant cuts.
On the cards at the time the referee deemed the fight unsafe to continue, Catterall was up and won by technical decision. This will be Catterall’s second welterweight bout since leaving super lightweight behind.
Botswana-born, Nottingham-based Ekow Essuman arrives having defeated Catterall’s old undisputed super lightweight foe, Josh Taylor, in the Scot’s jump up to welterweight.
Before adding the third loss in a row to Taylor’s once-impeccable record, Essuman had gradually worked his way up the British boxing ranks to amass a 22-1 record with eight knockouts. His lone loss came by decision.
Catterall will need to try to stay fleet-footed and on the outside of Essuman’s left foot in this one, leveraging his southpaw stance against a usually relentless, in-your-face, durable, and very busy opponent.
Essuman’s approach of getting inside and throwing an array of punches from different angles may suit Catterall if he stays alert, leaning into his natural instincts to let them come to him, counter-punch, and pivot away.
The win line for the Catterall vs Essuman betting sides with the 32-year-old ‘El Gato’ over the global belt-holder. To continue his climb back to prominence, Catterall gets 4/9 odds to Essuman’s 7/4.
Sam Gilley vs Ishmael Davis
The current odds for Gilley v Davis are as follows:
- Sam Gilley – 5/2
- Draw – 14/1
- Ishmael Davis – 1/3
A unanimous decision loss to Danny Ball back in March 2021 could have been detrimental to Sam Gilley. Instead, he stepped up in weight, trained hard to become a better boxer, and put on some highlight reel performances.
Riding a seven-fight winning streak, his eight-rounder with Gideon Onyenani at Portman Road in October 2024 ended with a draw on the cards. Gilley was, without question, hard done by here.
Even so, Onyenani did well to make it to the cards, which hadn’t been the fate of four Gilley’s last six opponents. With his next foe struggling of late, the ‘Magic Man’ will aim to get back on track with a stoppage.
Ishmael Davis has struggled in the ring over his last four bouts, but he’ll certainly mark a step up in class for Gilley.
Now 14-3, Davis lost by mixed decision to Josh Kelly, retired against Serhii Bohachuk in Saudi Arabia, and lost by split decision to Caoimhin Agyarko in Belfast.
Those fights took place from September 2024 to September 2025, with the first two of those being taken on very late notice. Even so, two close calls from the three losses showed the quality underneath.
In October, one month after the Agyarko 12-rounder, Davis went six of six rounds with the 1-14 Elliot Eboigbe to win on points. The ‘Black Panther’ from Leeds has been a very busy boxer, to say the least.
With Gilley confident, Davis having a point to prove, and British and Commonwealth super welterweight straps on the line, this could end up being more of a firefight than the odds suggest.
Coming into the weekend, Davis was the massive 1/3 favourite to Gilley’s 5/2 in the Gilley vs Davis odds. Davis is also at 6/5 to finish the match within the distance.
