Chris Eubank has confirmed the rematch with Nigel Benn is on.

Previously it was revealed that

so it's only a matter of time (and money) before fans see them battle again.

The pair last fought in 1993, over 20 years ago, and despite both boxers being well into retirement a third fight now seems on the cards and almost certain to happen.

In Eubank's exit interview he was asked about Benn's taunting tweets.

Earlier in the week Been tweeted that he was "fitter than ever":

After hearing the tweet, Eubank seemed excited about stepping back in the ring.

"Well, as long as he accepts what we're going to offer him," Chris revealed about the proposed fight, adding: "Yes, we're possibly on... possibly."

This means Eubank and Benn are set to fight for a third time in a £10million bout - which could be dubbed the rumble in the jungle.

Eubank, 49, has taunted his rival in scenes in the jungle and responding on Twitter, Benn said: “Mate I'm also fitter than ever. Let's get this thing on Chris Eubank, but no more games.

"When you get out lets get it on with the fight.”

In camp at the weekend, Eubank claimed he would like a rematch and told his campmates Benn was someone who got under his skin in a way no other opponent did.

Eubank said: “I am not really competitive. I can easily always walk away and then I come to Nigel Benn, the bad blood between us is fierce. So I am not competitive, only with him.

“I got it the first time(he won), I drew with him the second time. He was born to activate me, he won't leave me alone.

“He keeps asking for this rematch. If I do fight him again, he is not beating me.

“Of course there is a part of Eubank that wants to get back in the ring with Nigel Benn.

“If you are listening, I am in the jungle and I am getting fit boy.”

Eubank went on to ask the other stars if he should fight and when they cheered he said he would give his camp mates ringside seats for the fight.

And despite their age, TV channels would queue up to screen the Eubank v Benn rematch.

Both their middleweight and super middleweight contests in 1990 and 1993 were huge box office events and a third fight would pull in millions of viewers. It’s thought ITV and Sky would both be in the bidding for the rematch.

Eubank retired in 1998 after 52 fights and 45 wins, whilst Benn retired from the ring in 1996 after 48 fights and 42 rings.

One of Benn’s big regrets is that he never beat Eubank in the ring.

Earlier this month he claimed they were close to having a rematch organised for March 2016 but insisted at the time it would not happen because Eubank had stalled.

In the interview earlier this month, he said: “We had backers from Dubai, Manchester, Ireland — we would make £5m to £10m each, everything split evenly. Not one word of a lie.

“We spent three bloody years talking. But Chris is impossible.”

Judging from both men’s comments this weekend the fight is now back on.
