The two families may finally meet again.

Kalle Sauerland thinks that we could see Eubank vs. Benn in 2024, but not as many expect

Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn have long been expected to meet in the ring to renew a familial rivalry, but a 2022 fight was scrapped and hopes for an early fight in 2024 appear to have been dashed.

However, Eubank’s cousin, Harlem, has been in good form of late and there are talks of teeing him up to meet Benn instead.

"Those domestic fights are interesting [for Harlem]," Sauerland said to Sky Sports.

"Obviously the name Conor Benn has also been thrown around. I know [Eubank] Senior is very much in favour of a fight like that. I also think Adam Azim, Dalton Smith, a couple of other names, I'd say with the greatest of respect to them, they're fantastic fighters but the name and the profile especially after his huge audiences on television would be with Eubank.

"So those are big fights that can be made, it's just the terms have got to be right.

"At the same time I think that a European challenge, even a potential world title elimination fight in 2024 is also a possibility."
