The pairing comes 29 years almost to the day of the October 1993 rematch between Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr., when the two fought to a draw in front of an announced crowd of 47,000 at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England. The famed rematch came nearly three years after Eubank stopped Benn in the ninth-round of their November 1990 WBO middleweight title fight in Birmingham, England.
