Chris Eubank Jr., the IBO middleweight champion, is gearing up for his blockbuster showdown against Conor Benn. The former’s father had repeatedly pled to cancel the fight, considering the weight disparity and Benn moving up from 147 pounds to a 160-pound weight limit. So, the stakes are high, with potential injuries on the way. Yet, the family rivalry would continue. Just like their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, fought in 1990 and 1993. The non-title grudge match is all set for April 26th, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London.

And, events leading up to the showdown have done nothing but fuel up the audience for this highly-anticipated British fist-off. Like, when Eubank slapped an egg on Benn’s face during the launch press conference in February. He was referencing Benn’s adverse drug test findings, attributed to “elevated consumption of eggs” by the WBC in 2023. So, the 34-3 boxer prepares to face challenges in the ring, but what does life outside ring look like for the 35-year-old? While you get ready to witness Eubank Jr. in the upcoming bout, billed as Fatal Fury, here’s everything to know about his love life.

Chris Eubank Jr.’s dating rumors: Rita Ora, Megan Barton-Hanson & more

Over the years, Chris Eubank Jr. has tried to keep his personal life private, while focusing on his boxing career. Though, media linked him to many high-profile women over the years, including Rita Ora, the popular British singer. Now, whether these are just rumors or reality, only the boxer can reveal. But, here’s what surfaced on the internet.

It all dates back to December 2015, when Next Gen emerged victorious over Gary Spike O’Sullivan. Following the win, Eubank Jr. was photographed backstage with Geordie Shore star, Vicky Pattison. According to The Mirror, the reality TV star was reportedly getting cozy with the boxer after the match. “I had such a good time at Chris Eubank Jr’s fight. He’s my jungle pal Chris Eubank’s son and I’m in love with him. He’s gorgeous,” she’d said. However, she also mentioned that it would “terrify” Eubank Jr.’s father, if she ever tried to get with him. So, the relationship could have been more of a playful declaration, rather than a serious, materialized commitment. The rumors soon turned to dust.

Then again, three years later, in 2018, Eubank was spotted with Lucy Mecklenburgh, former The Only Way Is Essex star. Apparently, the duo appeared at a night club in Los Angeles together, according to The Sun. Sure, the brief appearance had sparked rumors, but there was no evidence that suggested a serious relationship.

The same year, rumors also claimed Eubank Jr. to be dating Katie Price. During an appearance on Loose Women, fans had accused Price of flirting with the then 29-year-old boxer, when she asked him about his relationship status. Eubank Jr. had responded with a, “Boxing is my girlfriend.” And obviously, that statement drew an applause.

Then again a year later, rumors said Eubank Jr. was dating reality TV star, Megan Barton-Hanson, well-known from the show Love Island. This was right after she split with Wes Nelson, who was also on the show at the time. Reports from Closer Online suggest that they’d met through Instagram, with the boxer sliding into her DMs. They had enjoyed flirty dates in London’s West End, and Eubank Jr. was “smitten” with her. However, soon the relationship had fizzled out. Why, you ask? Because Eubank Jr. spent time in Los Angeles, making it difficult for the pair to continue.

Lastly, the most speculative of all, the middleweight champion was rumored to be dating British musician and singer, Rita Ora too. But, with lack of any concrete details, that is just believed to be based off his public profile. Moving on, you’d like to know what his current relationship status is.

Is Chris Eubank dating in 2025? Relationship status

As of 2025, according to Who’s Dated Who, Eubank Jr.’s relationship status currently reads “single”. He doesn’t have a wife or a girlfriend. With that said, it seems like the boxer is completely focusing on his ring career. There are no social media posts or public interactions that suggest otherwise. And why would that not be?

Considering that Next Gen didn’t really get much time after his October 2024 win against Kamil Szeremeta. Ever since his upcoming main event against Conor Benn has been announced, the boxer has been hard at work. Not to mention that promotions started in February of this year. This left him just 4 months before being occupied with boxing again. That could be a strong reason why the British boxer hasn’t been able to lend time to dating. Once he clears one of the biggest British boxing events of 2025, he should get enough time off to change that. So we may hear something in the latter half of the year.

That said, who are you rooting for in the upcoming bout? Do you think Eubank Jr. would win?
