The aces collided in the ring after Eubank Jr’s win over Kamil Szeremeta in October, with footballer Neymar needing to pull them apart.
The result saw the Brit become the IBO middleweight champion.
And Benn made it clear he wanted a shot at the title, as well as Eubank Jr.
The two men went back and forth on social media this week as talks of a fight heated up.
But now, boxing guru Turki Alalshikh revealed details have been finalised for them to have an April fight in London.
Reports claim it could take place on the 26th at Tottenham’s £1billion stadium.
Alalshikh posed in a photo with Benn and promoter Eddie Hearn as the boxer signed his contract.
Benn first said: “Your fate has been sealed @chriseubankjr.”
Alalshkih added on X: “Eubank Jr vs Benn done in April, London, by the name of (Fatal Fury City of the Wolves).
“Soon I will announce the day and the location, it will be The Ring’s first card in collaboration with the video game and SNK< and I will push to make PPV price 19.99 GBP for the fans, with tough undercard.

“Let’s get boxing great again and wait for huge announcement soon.”
Hearn added: “Late night business. The biggest fight in British boxing has been made. Full news dropping soon.”
The agreement came a day after Eubank Jr claimed Benn and Hearn were trying to “enforce a rehydration restriction on me to make the fight.”
Calling them “two rats”, he added: “They talk a big game but when it actually comes down to it… just a pair of (cat emojis).”
This prompted Benn to respond: “You soft p***k I’m coming up two weights to fight you and I’m the (cat emoji)?
“10lbs rehydration because I’m already fighting a middleweight but you want to get in the ring as a light heavyweight?
“You are scared to death of Janibek and Sheeraz so I’m your only option satsuma head.”
