In a night of raw fury and family legacy, Conor Benn exacted sweet revenge on Chris Eubank Jr., claiming a dominant unanimous decision victory in their middleweight rematch at a sold-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 12-round war, echoing the iconic 1990s clashes of their fathers Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr., drew 62,000 roaring fans and a star-studded crowd including rapper 50 Cent.
Benn (24-1, 14 KOs), the 28-year-old “Destroyer,” controlled the ring from the outset, unleashing precise jabs and vicious body shots that sapped Eubank’s rhythm. Judges scored it 116-112, 117-111, and 115-113 for Benn, reversing his April defeat to Eubank (35-4, 25 KOs) in a grueling unanimous decision loss.
Eubank, 35, entered with nine wins in his last 10 but appeared sluggish, weighed down by a pre-fight lift mishap with his father. “This is for Dad – unfinished business,” Benn roared post-fight, bloodied but unbowed. Eubank, gracious in defeat, admitted: “He was sharper tonight; respect.”
The bout, promoted as “Unfinished Business,” headlined a card featuring Jack Catterall’s welterweight triumph. Benn eyes a world title shot next, cementing his ascent in British boxing’s fiercest rivalry.
