A MAJOR broadcast change has been made ahead of the eagerly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn.
The sworn enemies, the sons of British boxing greats Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn, will run back last April’s Tottenham Hotspur tussle a week on Saturday night.
Global streaming powerhouse DAZN aired the 12-round war and have maintained the broadcast rights for the rematch.
And they’ve made it easier for boxing fans to watch the fight by making subscriptions to the DAZN channel available on Prime Video in the United Kingdom and USA.
Eubank Jr vs Benn II will be the first of several DAZN pay-per-view fights to be available on Prime Video.
And just a week later, fight fans who have Prime Video will be able to purchase Anthony Yarde’s third crack at light-heavyweight gold against WBA title holder David Benavidez.

“It’s another step forward in bringing the best that sport has to offer to fans across the globe.”
The build-up to Eubank Jr vs Benn 2 has been dominated by the former’s claim that his hospital was prevented from leaving the stadium for 20 minutes before.

Eubank Jr doubled down on his allegation, which he suggested Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn had a role in, this week by releasing a video of the aftermath of the 12-round war.
And he followed that up with a photo of himself looking unrecognisable in the hospital, which he was admitted to with severe dehydration.
His accompanying caption read: “I saw comments yesterday saying I’m playing the victim & looking for sympathy after showing what happened to my ambulance in April.
“If I cared about people’s sympathy, I would’ve posted this picture a long time ago.
“I’m shining a light on the situation to make sure that if I end up looking like this again on Nov 15, after another dog fight, that I’m simply taken to hospital as quickly as possible… that is all.”
SunSport understands Matchroom’s lawyers are currently dealing with Eubank Jr’s explosive allegation, which Hearn has vehemently denied.
