Chris Eubank Jr update as boxer to remain in hospital but 'doing well'

Chris Eubank Jr remains in hospital but is "doing well" following his points victory over Conor Benn at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.

Eubank Jr missed the post-fight press conference as he was taken to The Royal London as a precautionary measure. He will likely remain in hospital until Monday, with his father, Chris Eubank Snr, at his bedside.

A statement by promoter Boxxer read: "Chris is doing well and currently resting. There is no truth to the rumours regarding a broken jaw.

"As part of his standard post-fight protocol, Chris went to hospital for precautionary checks to monitor his vitals and ensure everything is in order.

"They take these measures very seriously, given everything they have experienced in the past.

"This process is something they now prioritise after every fight.

"Chris and Conor gave absolutely everything in what was the biggest legacy fight of all time. With their fathers standing proudly behind them, it was a moment that will forever be stamped in sporting history."

There is a chance the pair may fight again, after the fighters agreed to an optional rematch clause before the bout.
