London – three years after the cancellation of their fight in a miniature time and 32 years after the rematch of their fathers, Chris Eubank Jr. He won a unanimous decision over Conor Bennem on Saturday on Saturday in medium weight.
Eubank (35-3, 25 KO) won the results of 116-112 on all three pages of results to defeat Benna (23-1, 14 KO) and resolve the match between two English boxers, the largest boxing event in Great Britain since Carl Froch compared to George Groves.
Eubank was in trouble in the last round, but there were no knocks in the fight that met the expectations before 62,000 at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
Eubank did not seem to be affected by an attempt to obtain a weight limit weighing 160 pounds, which he did not do 0.05 pounds on Friday and caused a penalty of $ 500,000 (375,000 GBP). In fact, he did well in the last two rounds.
“I knew I was able to,” said Eubank, who was taken to the hospital after the fight as a precaution. “The fact that our fathers did what they did all these years ago brings out a ghost in you and we showed it tonight.
“I pushed. There are many things that took place in my life and I’m glad that I have this man [his dad] Return with me. We maintained the surname – support and top.
“I didn’t know that Conor had what he had in him.”
No critical title was on the line, but it was an extremely satisfying win for Eubank, whose father stopped Conor’s dad, Nigel, in 1990, before their points attracted in 1993, respectively for the global medium weight and super medium weight, respectively. Despite the fact that he was apparently appointed from Chris Jr., Chris Sr. He went his son to the ring and sat with Nigel.
“I wasn’t sure if it would be here. It gave me an elevator. It was unique. He had to be here, it was because what he did,” said Chris Jr.
The victory is kept in the competition for a shot at Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, WBC, WBA and WBO World Super Middle Wweight, in 2026.
Eubank did not have the full version of the four main world titles, but it was an impressive show in which he showed the character during hard rounds and triumphed. For Benn, a return to a welterweight or younger medium weight is probably after the first defeat of his professional career in his greatest fight.
Benn is teenage enough to revive his career, but this failure, after the cause of three years gathering, which included eubank’s breakdown of the egg at the face at a press conference. He later suggested that he could continue in medium weight.
“Maybe inactivity was a factor, I was 14 months after the ring. It was a close fight, I will have to watch it. I liked it,” said Benn. “Maybe I stayed on the ropes for too long. We knew that Chris is a good warrior, and the conversation fighting is a conversation. I believe that I could fight for 160”.
Since the fight is expected to return high salary revenues to the view of the Great Britain’s audience and reportedly divided a 18 million pounds bag, there is also a good chance that we will see the fourth episode of Eubank-Qualine’s family competition.
28 -year -old Benn did not fight in Great Britain for three years due to the ban on a positive drug test, which caused the cancellation of the planned fight compared to Eubank two days before the fight in October 2022.
But it was not a balmy welcome from fans who booed their entrance to the ring, while Eubank was cheered when he was flanked by his father. Benn, who grew up in Spain and Australia, before he moved to Essex in England to start his professional career at the age of 19, was wildly from some of his blows in the opening round, but probably joined with enough to win the 1st round.
Benn began more aggressively, and his speedy hands seemed to surprise Eubank. Benn landed the right hooks, and even a lead left hook in round 2. Benna’s movement was also a problem for Eubank early, but in round 4 he caught up Benna and landed with a combination, and then the brilliant upper right upper miner, who broke Benn’s head.
35 -year -old Eubank from Brighton began to find Benna regularly in round 5, doubled and whipping straightforward hooks. Both of them landed in the 6th round of the thrilling fight, but Jab Eubank was better. Benna’s right hooks had a lot of venom all night, but Eubank’s strikes flowed better, and the boxer from Brighton had a good round 7.
In the round 8 they both stood with their fingers and exchanged blows. It was hard to separate them because they both landed with crushing shots.
Benn was full of vigor at the beginning of the 9th round, but Eubank later answered in a round with powerful right hands. Eubank was chopped near the right eye in ninth place and looked tired when Benn him roiła. Benn briefly stuck Eubank with a miniature left in round 10 and later in the round, connected with his right hand.
Eubank recovered after the penniless round 10 to work out Benna on an exhaustive 11th place before a furious exchange in the final round. Eubank corrected in round 12 and almost knocked Benn with his left hook. Somehow Benn stayed on his feet after he was bombed with hooks in the last minute.
There was no knocking out, but it was great entertainment.
