Benn Dominates Eubank Jr In Rematch

LONDON — In a clash that bridged generations of boxing’s most storied rivalry, Conor Benn delivered a masterclass of destruction, overpowering Chris Eubank Jr. to secure a unanimous decision victory in their middleweight rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night. The 29-year-old Benn, fighting two weight classes above his natural limit, dropped his bitter rival twice in the final round and cruised to scores of 119-107, 116-110, and 118-108 from the judges, etching the Benn family’s first win over the Eubanks into the annals of British boxing history.

For Benn, the win was more than personal redemption—it was a seismic shift in a feud that began 35 years ago when his father, Nigel Benn, fell to Chris Eubank Sr. in a brutal 1990 stoppage before battling to a controversial draw in their 1993 rematch. “This is on par with winning a world title,” Benn declared post-fight, his voice thick with emotion as Nigel stood ringside, beaming. “I’ve been through hell and back. Everyone said I couldn’t box? Put that in your pipe and smoke it.”  

The bout, billed as “Unfinished Business,” drew a raucous sellout crowd of over 60,000 to the north London fortress, many waving flags split between the Union Jack and the colors of the two protagonists. DAZN broadcast the spectacle globally, with promoter Eddie Hearn hailing Benn as “the new star of British boxing” in the aftermath. Yet beneath the fireworks, this rematch exposed stark contrasts: Benn’s calculated aggression versus Eubank Jr.’s labored survival, a tale of youth, preparation, and the unforgiving toll of the scales.
