Chris Eubank Jr. defeats Conor Benn at points in an stimulating fight
Published
1 year agoon
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.

Jake Paul’s claim that he found $200 million specifically for a potential fight with Canelo Alvarez sparked a direct response from the Mexican champion.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was scheduled to collide with Canelo in May 2025, but Turki Alalshikh stepped in and signed the then super middleweight king to a multi-fight contract.
It made Alvarez a two-time undisputed champion against William Scull before losing his four major titles in a unanimous decision loss to Terence Crawford last September.
However, since Crawford announced his retirement and vacated the belts, Canelo is scheduled to fight for the world title in September this year in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.
The most likely opponent seems to be WBC champion Christian Mbilli, who is coming off a fascinating draw with Lester Martinez on the Canelo-Crawford card.
However, despite this plan, Paul appears to be trying to get back into his game with the 35-year-old, insisting that a $200 million purse remains up for grabs.
The 29-year-old revealed the news on a live broadcast earlier this week, suggesting it is the “biggest fight” in boxing.
“Canelo, I have $200 million for you. Uncomplicated money. Jake Paul vs. Canelo – let’s finish it. This is what the fans have been waiting for; this is the biggest fight you can have in boxing. I think this will be the next fight.
Jake Paul just said Canelo Alvarez will be his next fight and he will pay him $200 million 🤯
“This is the biggest fight you can have in boxing. Jake Paul vs. Canelo. Official.” pic.twitter.com/QJRLuPjO9r

In response, Canelo simply posted three laughing emojis on his Instagram story, signaling that Paul’s offer was not to be taken seriously.
After all, there is A a chance the American may never box again, given the injuries he sustained to his jaw after being knocked out by Anthony Joshua in December.

Jake Paul responded to Canelo Alvarez after the undisputed super middleweight champion previously reacted to talk of a potential fight between the two with laughing emojis on social media.
While greeting fans and media during a public appearance this week, Jake was asked what financial terms he believed would be needed to make the fight happen.
“Yes, 200 [million] for him 300[millionformeWe’llfinalizethedealEasywork”-PaulsaidintheinterviewwithFightHubTVwhenaskedaboutapossibledealCanelo[millionformeWe’llgetthedealdoneEasywork”saidPaultoFightHubTVwhenaskedaboutapossibledealwithCanelo[milionówdlamnieSfinalizujemytransakcjęŁatwapraca”–powiedziałPaulwrozmowiezFightHubTVzapytanyomożliwąumowęzCanelo[millionformeWe’llgetthedealdoneEasywork”saidPaultoFightHubTVwhenaskedaboutapossibledealwithCanelo
The comment immediately drew attention due to the huge figure associated with the fight. Jake has continued to call for a fight with Canelo over the past year, despite criticism from many boxing fans and fighters who viewed the fight as unrealistic.
Jake was then asked about Canelo and responded with laughing emojis when the topic of a fight between the two came up online.
“I don’t know what that means, but he won’t laugh when I kick his ass,” Paul said.
The rivalry between the two continues to escalate publicly through interviews and exchanges on social media, even though no official negotiations have been announced.
Jake has mentioned Canelo multiple times in interviews over the past year, keeping the possibility of a future fight circulating despite widespread skepticism in boxing circles.
Canelo is currently scheduled to face Christian Mbilli later this year in Riyad, Saudi Arabia, while Jake continues to rehabilitate from injuries suffered in his December 2025 fight against Anthony Joshua.

Audley Harrison candid verdict on Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua: ‘He only has one way to win’
Published

May 16, 2026
Audley Harrison wondered how fellow Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua would fare against Tyson Fury later this year.
Both agreed to clash in the long-awaited heavyweight showdown, but only if “AJ” successfully completes his next fight against Kristian Prenga.
He hasn’t fought since knocking out Jake Paul in the sixth round in DecemberJoshua is now preparing for his clash with Prenga on July 25 in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.
This is his first assignment since he lost two of his closest friends in a car accident in Nigeria, where he was also involved in the tragic incident.
Naturally, he spent the next few months recovering from his injuries, although Joshua now appears to be getting closer to a showdown with Fury.
Meanwhile, “The Gypsy King” has already finished his pre-fight, ending a 16-month break with Arslanbek Makhmudov, whom he outpointed by unanimous decision last month.
Shortly after the triumphant victory, Fury called out Joshua, who was sitting at ringside, refusing to take part in the fight.
But at the same time, Harrison did he told Sky Sports that he saw a fire in the 36-year-old’s eyes, dazzling enough to suggest he was ready for the task ahead.
“From a boxing point of view, it’s a sexy fight because style makes fight.
“[Joshua] he can’t win the fight by trying to box Fury – he has to go in there, break him down and try to eliminate him. This is the only way he can win this fight.
“You’re fighting a champion boxer who knows how to slip [and] slide. after [Makhmudov] fight…he [Joshua] he looked at Fury [with intent].
“When they get into that fight, he’s going to take the fire – everything he went through after his friends died.”
Despite getting back into the win column after back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, Fury clearly wants to enter his second warm-up fight.
Whether that happens remains to be seen, but he certainly wouldn’t be willing to risk a potential clash with Joshua.
