“I’m open for the trilogy,” Benn told SunSport.
When the possibility of fighting Eubank at super middleweight was put to him, Benn went further.
“I would do the trilogy at 168. Of course I would. I’d fight him at 168. No excuses, no rehydration clause, none of that. I’d fight him at 168.”
That would represent a 21-pound jump from the welterweight limit Benn is preparing to make against Garcia. He has not fought at 147 pounds since 2022 and admits getting back down there has been difficult.
“The weight cut’s brutal, man. It’s hard. It’s very hard. This will be my last fight at 147, for sure.”
A third Eubank fight would also offer Benn another major financial opportunity. Their two meetings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2025 generated huge business, with Benn reportedly earning around £8 million for each bout. Eubank won their first fight in April before Benn dominated the November rematch to level the series at one victory apiece.
Moving the third fight to 168 would eliminate one of the biggest issues surrounding the rivalry. Eubank struggled with the 160-pound limit, and the previous fights were surrounded by arguments over weight, rehydration restrictions and financial penalties.
Benn would be the smaller man at super middleweight, but the offer gives Eubank no weight-cut explanation if they meet again. It also keeps one of Benn’s most lucrative options available after his planned departure from the welterweight division.
There is still considerable hostility between them despite Benn’s willingness to fight Eubank again. Asked about eventually joining Eubank on speaking tours similar to their fathers, Benn rejected the idea.
“We’re not there. Don’t think we’ll ever get there. You couldn’t pay me enough. It’s just sore. But… I’m open for the trilogy though.”
