The “Unfinished Business” rematch between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn on Saturday, November 15, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just got a serious lift. A heavy British undercard has been confirmed, streaming live and exclusive worldwide on DAZN.
Promoters Riyadh Season, The Ring, SELA, Matchroom, and BOXXER have stacked this one, with Queensberry Promotions and Goldstar plugging fighters into the support slots. It’s the kind of line-up that sells a stadium.
Catterall vs Essuman: Welterweight Ranking Firefight
Jack “El Gato” Catterall is back after outpointing Harlem Eubank in July — a fight cut short by a clash of heads but ruled a unanimous technical decision. He now meets former British and Commonwealth champ Ekow “The Engine” Essuman.
Essuman’s stock jumped in May when he comfortably beat Josh Taylor, Catterall’s old rival, on points. Both men sit high with the WBO — Essuman at No. 3, Catterall at No. 8 — so this one could shove the winner straight into a world-title call.
Riakporhe Goes Heavy, Azim Takes a Risk
Richard “The Midnight Train” Riakporhe moves up to heavyweight for the first time on home soil, taking on unbeaten Tommy Welch — son of ex-world title challenger Scott Welch. Riakporhe lost his WBO cruiser bid to Chris Billam-Smith in 2024 but jumped to heavyweight last May with a win over Kevin Nicolas Espindola on the Canelo–Scull card in Riyadh.
Adam Azim returns after a layoff, this time stepping up to face seasoned Zaur Abdullaev. The Armenian-based contender has shared rings with Devin Haney, Jorge Linares and Raymond Muratalla, so this isn’t a soft touch for the flashy Brit.
Spurs Undercard Brings Young Blood and Title Stakes
Liverpool flyweight Mikie Tallon stays unbeaten if he can get past Fezan Shahid. Sam “Magic Man” Gilley also gets his shot at glory in the stadium he loves, fighting Ishmael “The Black Panther” Davis for the vacant British and Commonwealth super welter titles.
Davis is coming off three losses but many felt he was unlucky last time out against Caoimhin Agyarko in Belfast. He’s got something to prove, and the big stage at Spurs is a perfect place to do it.

‘Stacked card’ my foot! Most these fights don’t mean anything in real rankings and are more about keeping British fighters relevant than world level action 👎 I want real matchups, not filler fights!
‘Unfinished Business’ sounds like a soap opera title not a boxing match 😂 Eubank vs Benn was supposed to happen ages ago and now no one cares anymore except DAZN cause they need views bad.
Tallon is just being protected again if you ask me. Shahid ain’t proven nothing either so it’s like two nobodies fighting just to keep Tallon looking good on paper 📄 Not impressed at all.
Why are there so many promoters involved in one event? It just feels like too many cooks in the kitchen. Too much drama behind scenes ruins what should be a good boxing night 🍿
How can Davis fight for a title after three losses? That makes no sense at all. Titles should go to winners, not someone who keeps losing! This is why boxing looks rigged sometimes 🥴
People keep hyping Azim but I don’t see what’s special about him. He hasn’t fought anyone really hard yet and now they giving him some guy who already fought top names? He gonna get exposed.
I think it’s dumb putting Riakporhe at heavyweight now when he couldn’t even win at cruiserweight. Just cause he beat someone doesn’t mean he’s ready for big boys. They rushing him way too fast 😤
I don’t get why people think this fight is that big of a deal. Eubank Jr already lost before and Benn got caught with stuff in his system. How are we supposed to take it serious now? 🤨
Exactly! It’s like they just tryin’ to make money off drama and not real sport. If Benn messed up, he shouldn’t even be allowed back in the ring so soon if you ask me.
