Eubank will face his fellow Briton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in boxing's latest grudge match – two and a half years after their cancelled bout because of Benn's failed drugs tests.

"But I realised, the biggest power you can give someone over you is in how you react. So I decided, I'm going to get sober, I'm going to get fit, and I discovered boxing."

Eubank Jr took his seat 15 minutes after the scheduled start time, leaving Benn and a few hundred of the boxing media waiting in a conference room overlooking the pitch at the fight night venue.

These included a swimming programme delivered in partnership with leisure operator GLL, the council's community boxing initiative and its mental health support event, held as part of last year's World Suicide Prevention Day, he said.

Two decades later, their sons began their own boxing journeys.
