And following his exit from the ITV show on Tuesday, Eubank added fuel to the speculation by confirming his willingness to fight his rival again. 

'Well, as long as he accepts what we're going to offer him,' Eubank said before he added 'yes, we're possibly on... possibly.'

The talk started after Eubank, who retired in 1998 after 52 fights and 45 wins, claimed on the show over the weekend he would like a rematch.

Benn hit back by taking to his Twitter account to post:  '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.'

The London-born boxer then took to his account on Monday to suggest that there have been opportunities in the past to fight for a third time.

He posted: 'Since Chris Eubank has been in the jungle talk has been about a fight but he chased me for ages for it. Then he started messing me about.'

Their middleweight and super middleweight bouts in 1990 and 1993 were huge box office events and it is believed a third, shout it happen, would pull in another huge television audience.
