Benn gets revenge, dominates Eubank in rematch
Conor Benn delivered a brilliant performance in his highly anticipated rematch with Chris Eubank Jr., earning a unanimous decision win Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The judges scored the fight 119-107, 116-110, and 118-108 in Benn's favor.
With the victory, Benn avenged his unanimous decision loss to Eubank that occurred at the same stadium in April.
The rematch was completely different from their Fight of the Year candidate seven months ago, with Benn dominating the action from start to finish. He dropped Eubank twice in the 12th round and stayed much busier throughout the contest.
"This is the end of the Benn-Eubank saga," Benn said during his postfight interview. "This ends here."
Benn, a 29-year-old London native, lifted his professional record to 24-1.
Eubank suffered his first loss since January 2023, falling to 35-4 as a pro. The 36-year-old Englishman entered the bout riding a three-fight winning steak.
