Despite a feeling that their fathers are now friendly, their is certainly a real rivalry between the new generation.

The build-up to the fight has certainly had plenty of needle.

Most notably during a media conference – a cheeky nod to Benn's defence of his drugs ban being down to a “highly elevated consumption” of eggs.

Eubank – who had 16 eggs nestled in his pocket at the time – coughed up a hefty £100,000 fine for his antics.

Now fans are hoping the battle in the ring will be just as entertaining as the build-up as the pair spark their father's legacy back to life.

What were the weigh-in results?

Chris Eubank Jr is set to pay a massive fine directly to Conor Benn after missing weight by just 0.05lb ahead of their fight.

At his first attempt, he scaled 160.2lb before his second and final go saw him tip 160.05lb – missing the mark by an agonising 0.05lb.

For context, that is the same weight as an AA Battery.

It means Eubank will have £375,000 deducted from his purse per the rules in their contract – with the.

had earlier weighed in surprisingly light at 156.4lbs – nearly 4lb under the middleweight limit.

Here's what reckons will happen when a family legacy writes a new chapter…

There could be so many variables that decide this fight.

Can Eubank make the weight well? Is he past his best? Is Benn big enough for middleweight? Does he have enough experience?

But boxing history tells us – most of the time – that a good biggun' beats a good littlun'.

For that reason, I feel Eubank will have too much size and range for Benn added in with his experience over the 12 round.

I'd pick a Eubank points win but it's not a sure thing.
