Conor Benn Wipes Through Chris Eubank Jr by Unanimous Decision in Drama-Filled Rematch
Conor Benn produced a commanding performance to defeat Chris Eubank Jr in their long-awaited rematch, winning by unanimous decision with scores of 119-107, 118-108 and 116-110. From the opening bell, Benn looked sharper, stronger and far more settled, while Eubank appeared unwell and drained, showing signs of a difficult weight cut from the very first round.
The rivalry between the pair has been years in the making. Their fathers, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr, were involved in one of British boxing’s most iconic feuds in the 1990s, fighting twice in brutal battles that helped define an era. The sons inherited that rivalry, and after their original 2022 bout collapsed due to controversy surrounding Benn, the tension intensified and the rematch became one of the most anticipated fights in British boxing.
Benn Takes Control Before Scoring Two Knockdowns Late
As the rounds progressed, Benn’s rhythm and accuracy kept Eubank from ever finding his usual timing. Eubank’s legs looked unsteady early on, and his jab lacked its typical snap, further suggesting the effects of a harsh cut to make weight. Benn stayed composed, kept the pressure steady and consistently chose the cleaner, more telling punches.

The final round sealed the story of the fight. Benn, sensing Eubank fading, closed the show in explosive fashion by scoring two knockdowns. Eubank showed grit in getting back to his feet each time, but the damage on the scorecards was already clear.
After the fight, Eubank reflected on the struggle he endured leading into the bout, saying, “I’ve been through hell and back to get to tonight.” It was one of his most honest admissions, highlighting the difficulty he faced both physically and mentally.
Benn, meanwhile, walked away with the most significant win of his career. The unanimous decision didn’t just settle the rivalry in the ring — it marked a new chapter for him, one that moves beyond the shadow of previous controversy. For Eubank, the night raised serious questions about how much the weight cut and the emotional load of the feud took out of him, and where he goes from here.
