November Boxing Matchups
As November approaches, boxing enthusiasts are gearing up for a month full of exhilarating matchups, with several fights set to captivate audiences. Leading the charge is the highly anticipated rematch between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr., scheduled for November 15 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. This bout will see the fierce rivals rekindle their historic feud, which has seen its share of controversies, including failed drug tests and legal tensions.
Key Fights of November 15
Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KOs) will enter the ring with confidence after a 12-round battle with Benn earlier this year. Conversely, Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) is determined to reclaim respect and silence his critics in front of an expected crowd of over 60,000 fans.
November 22 Showdown in Riyadh
Boxing fans can also look forward to an action-packed evening on November 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which will feature several noteworthy fights. The first on our list is the matchup between Gary Antuanne Russell and Andy Hiraoka, who will clash for the WBA super lightweight title. Russell (18-1, 17 KOs) will be defending his crown against the undefeated Japanese boxer, Hiraoka (24-0, 19 KOs). Russell is a slight favorite, but Hiraoka’s height and experience make this a compelling contest that could shift the dynamics of the 140-pound division going forward.
High-Stakes Bouts
Another high-stakes bout on the same evening will see David Benavidez face Anthony Yarde. While Yarde (27-3, 24 KOs) might not have been the initial choice for Benavidez’s next opponent, his previous challenges against elite fighters in the light heavyweight division should not be underestimated. Benavidez (30-0, 24 KOs), still in pursuit of a defining victory, will be keen to solidify his status by taking down Yarde in style, potentially paving the way to a future title unification against Dmitry Bivol.
Co-Main Event Highlights
The co-main event of November 22 will showcase Sam Noakes from Britain against American Abdullah Mason for the vacant WBO lightweight title. With both fighters entering the ring with unblemished records—Noakes (17-0, 15 KOs) and Mason (19-0, 17 KOs)—this fight not only brings a sense of urgency but also promises excitement as two heavy hitters battle it out for global recognition.
Conclusion
Lastly, while Jake Paul’s and Gervonta “Tank” Davis’s affiliations are not highlighted in this month’s premium matchups, it’s clear that November is teeming with opportunities for fighters to prove themselves and make significant strides in their careers. With legends and rising stars clashing throughout the month, boxing fans have much to look forward to in the ring as they await these pivotal encounters.
