Chris Eubank Jr. W12 Conor Benn... Chris Eubank Jr. triumphed over Conor Benn by unanimous decision after an exciting twelve-round battle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in England. Both men had their moments of success, but in the end it was Eubank who came out victorious by a trio of 116-12 scorecards. ​It was a worthy third chapter to the family feud that includes two bouts between the boxers' father, Chris Eubank, Sr. and Nigel Benn, both former champions. In those two fights, Eubank got a win and a draw. The sons could be headed for a rematch.
If Benn does get the chance to avenge the loss, he knows exactly what he will need to do to defeat Eubank. "[It was my] first fight at 160. I had Eubank hurt multiple times, three, four times in there," the former welterweight said. "I just couldn’t get a finish. I’ll make sure for next time that a finish is there."
There were moments that the smaller Benn hurt Eubank in a close fight that he believes could have went his way. "Obviously, I didn’t come into the fight thinking it would be that close, I didn’t come into the fight to lose, I didn’t come into the fight for anything apart from winning," Benn said. "And obviously it wasn’t good enough, so I need to do better."
He added: "I felt it could have been a draw, I felt like it could have gone my way, his way … I can’t really say. All I know is I gave everything I had in there tonight."
