Milton Keynes’ newest entertainment venue, MERKUR Casino Milton Keynes at Xscape, is kicking off its sporting event calendar in style with its first major live event – an exclusive Eubank Jr vs Benn II Fight Night Experience this Saturday 15th November.
Just two weeks after opening its doors, the city’s new flagship casino will host an unforgettable evening of sport, entertainment and celebrity guests, marking the beginning of a programme of high-quality live events.
Guests will also enjoy exclusive insights from some of the most respected names in British boxing and broadcasting including: Carl Froch MBE, David Haye and Gary Newbon MBE.

David ‘The Hayemaker’ Haye is a former unified cruiserweight world champion and WBA heavyweight world champion, one of only a handful of British boxers in history to win world titles in two weight divisions.
Hosting the evening will be one of Britain’s most respected sports broadcasters, Gary Newbon. With a career spanning over five decades, Gary has fronted and produced coverage for ITV Sport and Sky Sports, presenting some of the biggest moments in football and boxing history. Having interviewed countless world champions and sports icons, his experience and insight have made him a household name and a trusted voice in British sports broadcasting.
The evening will begin with a live panel discussion hosted by Newbon, featuring expert insights, pre-fight predictions, and professional commentary from Froch and Haye as anticipation builds for the Eubank Jr vs Benn II showdown.
Following the bout, Froch and Haye will return for a post-fight analysis and interactive question and answer session, offering guests a ringside perspective from some of the sport’s most respected voices.
