The Road to Redemption
Following April's controversial unanimous decision victory for Eubank Jr (116-112 x3), promoters have confirmed the 15 November rematch after resolving contractual disputes. The bout nearly collapsed in September due to:

• Rehydration clause disagreements
• Training camp scheduling conflicts
• Venue availability issues

Tactical Adjustments Expected
