Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn-Wyniki and report after the fight
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn finally went to the ring, and Eubank was a unanimous winner of the decision within twelve rounds in an average weight in battle, which was closer than the results suggested at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
Eubank vs Benn was to take place two and a half years ago, but notoriously Benn (23-1, 14 KO) was caught in a failed drug scandal, which took a legal choice to tidy Benna’s name. The last one was in February last year, exceeding Peter Dobson.
Eubank Jr (35-3, 25 KO) was recently released in October 2024, taking the title Ibo Middle Wweight with the dominant detention of Kamil Szeremeta in the seventh round.
In the first round a lot was thrown, but did not land much when they both tried to impose, and after another competitive frame in the second, Benn made a breakthrough in the third round, a shaky Eubank on his left hand, which Eubank shook himself well.
Eubank put his fourth place well and gained confidence in landing in fifth place, and both of them started to shots.
Benn looked as if he saw more of them because he was marked more often, but he began the eighth round on the front foot and restless eubank with a string of power shots, and the fight turned his head again.
Now Eubank looked at one disappearing, and two unloaded again in the tenth, entering the trenches before Eubank had a forceful last session, leaving each last drop, trying to sway on the road.
The competition went to the results cards where Eubank won Three results 116-112.

Yarde Piszcze next to Artur
Anthony Yarde (27-3, 24 KO) and Lyndon Arthur (24-3, 16 KO) met for the third time, and Yarde took the title of WBA Intercontinental Airy Heavyweight with winning points over his senior rival.
Arthur stunned the yard in December 2020, gaining a divided decision, but their rematch a year after Yarde eliminated Arthur in the fourth cage.
This time Yarde lacked the winner by two results 116-112 and a third in 115-113.
Billam-Smith is reflected
Chris Billam-Smith (21-2, 13 KO) returned to the victories after losing the title of WBO Cruiser Wweight, but he had to work demanding to see Brandon Grenton (20-3, 17 KO) at points in twelve rounds.
Billam-Smith was cut off during the competition, but he won two results 116-112 and a third in 116-113.

Cheavon Clarke (10-2, 7 KO) made the first defense of his British cruiser’s weight title, but abandoned his decision against Viddal Riley (13-0, 7 KO).
The results 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113 ensured that Riley became a fresh champion.
Jarred Anderson’s return to the ring against Solomon Dacres was canceled just days later.
Dacres and Anderson were scheduled to face on May 9 in Fabio Wardley’s first world title defense against Daniel Dubois.
It looks like “Massive Baby” will continue to gain momentum after suffering his first career loss in 2024.
After a great start to his professional career and 17 impressive victories, Anderson took a gigantic risk in his fight against Martin Bakole in Los Angeles.
This acceleration did not go as planned, as Bakole stopped the American in the fifth round.
The American was forced to withdraw from competition for several weeks after suffering an injury during camp.
Anderson reportedly suffered a torn biceps, and the news was first broken by reporter Chris Mannix during the broadcast of Jarrell Miller’s win over Lenier Pero in Las Vegas.
Anderson, 26, recently signed a promotional deal with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, strengthening his existing relationship with Top Rank that he has been pursuing since his professional debut in 2019.
He last fought in a 10-round victory over Marios Kollias in February 2025, more than 14 months ago.
For now, no further information has been provided regarding a possible postponement of the fight.
For Dacres, it would be his first fight since his impressive decision victory over Vladyslav Sirenko.
Both Dacres and Anderson have only one loss to their name, and the fight between them will prove to be a great indicator of where each is at in their careers.
Dacres’ only loss came in the first round to David Adeleye in 2024, and he has only had one fight since that defeat.
Although the Anderson-Dacres fight has been canceled, the Manchester event will still go ahead as planned, with Fabio Wardley defending his WBO heavyweight title for the first time after winning the title with a stoppage victory over Joseph Parker.
Wardley remains undefeated and his opponent is Daniel Dubois, who has a 95% knockout rate.
Dubois is heading straight for another shot at the world title after being stopped by Oleksandr Usyk last July.
Wardley vs. Dubois it should be an epic fight, and the pair showed off their incredible knockout ability throughout their careers. The Ipswich fighter has wins over Justis Huni, Frazer Clarke and Joseph Parker, while Daniel Dubois has stopped Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua, so a stoppage seems the most likely outcome for the main event.

Dillian Whyte is eager to fight Joseph Parker again.
In 2018, Whyte and Parker played 12 invigorating rounds, with both hitting the canvas.
Whyte won his dramatic heavyweight fight by unanimous decision at the O2 Arena.
‘The Body Snatcher’ is now planning a rematch with the Recent Zealander, who is looking to clear his name after testing positive for cocaine following his October defeat to Fabio Wardley.
“There are a lot of good fights and Joseph Parker is one of them,” the 38-year-old said Ring Magazine.
“I would love to fight Joseph Parker, I think it’s a really good fight.
“He has to come back, he has to be cleared or whatever. I don’t know the situation.
“So in the meantime I have to stay busy and fight my way back, so let’s see.
“I feel like I still have a little bit to give, so let’s see what we can do to finish the season on a high.
“I’m training now and I want to come back in May or June.
“Now it’s just a matter of training and seeing what comes out on this kind of date.”
The former world title challenger from Brixton has not fought since a crushing first-round knockout defeat to rising contender Moses Itauma last August in Riyad.
Former world champion Parker won six times on spin before being stopped in the 11th round against Wardley, losing the WBO interim title and a shot at unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.
The 34-year-old says he is going through this process after failing the test and hopes it will be resolved soon.
“Let’s hope so [I’m back] soon,” Parker said Professional boxing fans.
“I’m just going through the process and practicing patience.
“We just have to be patient and learn from what they say happened.
“I know what happened and I handed over everything, so let’s see.”

Tony Yoka has broken his silence on Lawrence Okolie’s failed test that canceled their scheduled heavyweight fight.
On Saturday in Paris, Yoka was scheduled to face Okolie in a fierce heavyweight fight.
But on Tuesday, the Briton failed a VADA test, reportedly for GHRP 2 and its metabolite M8, a synthetic substance that stimulates the body to release human growth hormone.
Promoter Frank Warren tried to find a slow replacement, but later canceled the entire show.
Yoka (33) admits that he was bitterly disappointed with the situation.
“I was disappointed because I wanted to fight,” said the 33-year-old talkSPORT.
“Of course I was ready.
“It’s not like it happened a few months before, it was three, four days before the fight.
“It was a great opportunity.
“It would have put me in a really good position, so it really worried me.
“What was more disappointing to me was that they just canceled the entire show, but I understand it’s a business.”
The Frenchman says he won’t wait too long and has been told he will either fight on the card Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois May 9 in Manchester or on the bill Dave Allen vs Filip Hrgovic on May 16 in Doncaster.

Okolie, the WBC’s number one contender for Oleksandr Usyk’s title, promised in a statement to clear his name.
“Before anyone starts imagining the worst, after last year’s bicep injury, I suffered an elbow injury on the same shoulder during this camp.
“I underwent treatment and now we are here.
“I hope common sense will prevail.

“I will of course cooperate fully with all relevant authorities and I am confident that any investigation will clear my name.
“I will not be making any further comments at this time.
“Thank you for all your support and see you soon.”
