It was announced yesterday that Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith will not be rematching on July 1st, as their bout has been postponed.
Now we have a new piece to the ever-evolving chessboard that is the boxing puzzle, as Eddie Hearn, the CEO of Matchroom Boxing, put out a cryptic tweet on, Wednesday, May 24th. As the promoter simply posted an hourglass symbol showing a stock image of Chris Eubank Jr. facing off with Conor Benn.

Now the question begins where do we go from here as Eubank Jr., had to withdraw from the fight with nagging injuries? With Conor Benn's return shortly, could we be revisiting a potential clash between Chris Eubank Jr., and Conor Benn in the fourth quarter of 2023? Who knows? The only thing we do know is that the pieces to this ongoing puzzle continue to unfold.
