Benn dominates Eubank Jr to level rivalry in decisive rematch

Conor Benn delivered a commanding performance to avenge his April loss, defeating Chris Eubank Jr by unanimous decision at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a rematch steeped in decades of family rivalry.

Benn outworked a hesitant Eubank throughout, scoring two knockdowns in the final round to seal scores of 119-107, 116-110 and 118-108, declaring the Benn-Eubank feud “over” as both fighters paid tribute to the generational significance of the bout.

The 29-year-old showcased composure and skill beyond his usual brawler reputation after moving up two weight divisions, while Eubank, 36, now faces questions about his future after a flat display.



The spectacle drew celebrity spectators and echoed the iconic clashes between their fathers, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr, though the rematch fell short of a sell-out.
