BRITISH boxing fans might be able to go down "memory lane" with Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr fighting at the site of their fathers' famous rematch.
Three years after Eubank beat Benn, arch-nemesis of Eubank, there was a highly anticipated rematch.

The result was half a million viewers worldwide and 42,000 people packed Old Trafford to see the match to a draw.
Even though a trio bout did not materialize, the family rivalry could continue to a new generation, with their sons adding another chapter.
Benn, 25 has called out Eubank Jr., 32, leaving fans imagining a fight unlike any other in 30 years.
Kalle Sauerland (promoter), was the first to openly flot about the clash and would prefer to leave England's 90,000.-seater home in favor of a little bit of history.
SunSport spoke with Sauerland: "I wouldn’t do it in Wembley. I’d do it in Old Trafford because of memory lane reasons."
"Benn Vs Eubank" could fill any stadium and attract some people who haven't been to boxing in a long time.

The two-parter between Eubank and Benn remains one of the most cherished fights and rivalries of British boxing history.
It makes the follow-up between the sons even more important than any other product on the UK market, except for the big boys.
Sauerland stated that it was up there with heavyweight fights because of the names and the storyline.
"The fathers fought, now the sons fight. It's Hollywood stuff.
"It has all that, but you have to separate it from everything else, as I said."
Benn challenged Eubank Jr to a catchweight fight after he beat Welshman Liam Williams (29), this month.
Two potential grudge matches are also available for the middleweight contender against Kell Brook (35) or Billy Joe Saunders (32).
Sauerland, however, knows which fight brings in the most memories and money.
He stated: "Billy Joe, rematch? Fantastic. Kell Brook? It's fascinating to me. Conor Benn? This is a fight anyone would love to see.
It's top news! Because of its history, it is huge and the most spectacular.
"But, is this the right time? It would be from our side. But, it wouldn't be from their side.
