CONOR BENN Jr. and Chris Eubank Jr. will be subject to a $100,000 FINE each pound they eat above the 157lb limit.
They will be putting on a spectacular fight for the ages, almost 30 years after their fathers' famous rematch.
Conor Benn Jr and Chris Eubank Jr will be subject to a $100k penalty for each pound they tare if their 157 lb catchweight is exceeded
Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr on October 8, 2008
Benn will need to gain 10 lbs from his usual weight of 147lb to win the bout at 157lb.
Eubank Jr, on the other side, is a career middleweight at 160lb and has campaigned as high 168lb.
Due to their weight differences, the two will be able to meet at the 154lb middleweight or light-middleweight limit.
Eubank's size makes it possible for a rehydration clause to limit Eubank's weight the next day.
Dan Rafael claims that both boxers could lose $100,000 (PS81k), if they come even 1lb over the agreed limit.
A similar clause was included in the Kell Brook's contract prior to his win over Amir Khan at a 149lb catchweight on February 3.
Brook Jr., 31 years old, and Benn, 25 years old, both fought to fight Brook, but Brook retired after his victory over Khan.
Benn continues to climb the rankings at welterweight to improve on his first world title shot.
Eubank Jr became increasingly frustrated by his inability to win championships.
He turned his attention to Benn after their father's iconic fights of the 1990s.
Eubank defeated arch-nemesis Nigel in the first epic battle. They drew three more years later, in 1993.
Their prizefighter sons were left to continue the rivalry three decades later after the trilogy was not realized.
Eubank Jr. said that "it's a fight which's going to spark imagination of the British public. That's what's happy about."
It's my biggest fight in terms of hype, legacy and anticipation.
Benn said, "This fight was for the legacy and it was an opportunity that I could not pass up."
