Conor Benn secured revenge in his huge rematch with Chris Eubank Jr on Saturday, after suffering an agonising defeat in their April showdown.
Seven months ago, Eubank Jr defeated Benn on points in an instant classic at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, handing the 29-year-old his first professional loss. And on Saturday, the British rivals returned to the scene of that bout for a seismic sequel.
While the rematch failed to deliver the consistent drama of the first fight, with Benn establishing and maintaining a clear lead, fans were brought out of their seats in the final minute as Benn dropped Eubank Jr twice. Eubank Jr, 36, did well to rise each time, but the moments were the exclamation marks on Benn’s redemption.
In winning on points, the 29-year-old also did what his father Nigel could not: score a victory over a Eubank. In the 1990s, Nigel Benn fought Eubank Sr twice, emerging from their own bitter rivalry with a defeat and a draw. But Conor can say he went one better, after finally earning a victory for his family in this generational feud.

Benn made Eubank Jr look like an old man and the next move should be clear
21:00 , Steve BunceThe last fight of boxing’s greatest family rivalry finished for good late on Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 35-year boxing war between the Eubank and Benn clans was completed against an odd backdrop of boos and vicious punching.
Chris Eubank Jr twice had to climb up from the blood-stained canvas in the twelfth and last round against Conor Benn to salvage pride for his family name, and hear the final bell. A round earlier, some in the crowd of 60,000 had booed the fight, unhappy at the level of skill and lack of slugging.

Conor Benn beats Chris Eubank Jr and crosses fine line between relief and revenge
19:01 , Alex PattleAfter 35 minutes of their much-hyped rematch, Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr finally delivered the drama that coloured all 36 minutes of their enthralling initial clash.
With barely 60 seconds to go on this cold November night in Tottenham, Benn put down Eubank Jr, who was driven to the canvas a second time before all was said and done. Still, in one of many examples of staggering heart in this unique duo of duels, Eubank Jr rose to his feet both times, making it to the final bell.
That metallic clang was only ever going to herald one result: a clear decision victory for Benn, and more importantly for the 29-year-old, revenge and redemption.

Nigel Benn reignites bitter family rivalry: 'I find him a right prat'
10:23 , Flo CliffordNigel Benn launched into an umprompted tirade against the Eubank family after son Conor was victorious over Chris Eubank Jr on Saturday night, calling Chris Eubank Sr a “prat”.
The fathers did not shake hands pre-match and Benn said later that they faced off at the press conference, inspiring his later rant.
“At the press conference...I'm a say it now, we had a face-off,” Benn said. “He is dancing because he loves the limelight. He doesn't care about his son, he just loves the limelight.
“And he is dancing, he came right next to me and I thought 'let me just shake your hand', so I pulled him in for a hug and he put his hand up to me.
“And I actually felt like I wanted to... so when he tried to shake my hand tonight, I thought 'I ain't playing your games, mate'. I don't think I'll even speak to him again, because I find him a right prat.
“He is an idiot. He tries to quote scripture and all that, he don't even know what he is talking about.
“I just can't get him. When you have them two around you, everything is just so negative.
“Back in the day, we never talked disrespectful about our promoters that are putting money in our banks and giving us a good life.
“We never did that with Frank Warren or Mickey Duff, we never slagged them off, but the way he (Eubank Jr) talks about Eddie Hearn, how disrespectful is he? Both of them.
“And then Eubank (Sr) is always talking about, 'we're struggling at the weight, they're going to kill my son', mate, he's been a middleweight for how many years?
“He has been IBO champion, but as soon as he fights a welterweight, oh we have problems. Always bloody moaning. Always.
“I tell you what, I'm sick to death of them to tell the truth and I am glad it's over now. I am glad it's over now and we won't have hear about them anymore.”
Frampton and Jones call on Eubank Jr to retire
09:00 , Flo CliffordAs the dust settles on Benn’s emphatic win over Eubank Jr, attention turns to their respective futures.
Former boxers Carl Frampton and Barry Jones said during the broadcast on DAZN that Eubank Jr should retire.
“It was a great performance from Conor, but this might be the time to call it a day for Chris,” Frampton said. “I'm not trying to be harsh, I'm just being honest.”
Former WBO super-featherweight champion Jones agreed: “I do think it should be the end for Chris.
“It was evident from round one that he was flat. It could be weight [Eubank Jr was restricted by a rehydration clause] or it could be wear and tear, I think it's the latter.
“We should give all the credit to Conor Benn, but there were opportunities for Chris to pull the trigger.
“He didn't throw his punches from round one. He was quite lethargic.”
How the night unfolded
07:16 , Lawrence OstlereFor his part, Eubank Jr was gracious in defeat, giving no excuses for his flat performance and hailing his opponent as the better man.
"I've been through hell and back to get to this night, and it is what it is. I tried my best, and listen, the kid fought hard. He fought tough. He's got power," he said.
"Who knows, maybe we will see something new between me and him and maybe we won't, but for right now, it's all about this man. It's his night."
How the night unfolded
06:33 , Lawrence OstlereWith the two boxers' fathers engaging in a heated rivalry in the 1990s that echoed in their sons' two 2025 clashes, Benn recorded his family's first victory over the Eubanks and quickly drew a line under it, saying there would be no re-match.
"I feel like this is the end of the Benn-Eubank saga. Done. Finished. It's over ... this ends here," he said, before taking a swipe at his detractors and praising Eubank Jr.
"Everyone's saying, I can't box? Put that in your pipe and smoke it ... credit to Chris man, that's all I say. Thank you for sharing the ring with me."
How the night unfolded
05:46 , Lawrence OstlereBoth boxers struggled to land in the penultimate round and although Eubank Jr briefly tangled with the ropes, he survived but a smattering of the crowd left before round 12.
Benn was clearly ahead and yet made sure his family claimed a first victory 35 years in the waiting with a destructive round, knocking down Eubank with another one-two combination and again during the final 60 seconds.
Held aloft by his dad straight after the bell, Benn celebrated as 'Dangerous' blared over the speakers. Not long later and Eubank Jr was gracious enough to embrace the 29-year-old from Ilford.
Victory was a formality at this point, but Benn's name was read out to give his family a much-craved win in a remarkable rivalry spread across four decades.
How the night unfolded
04:54 , Lawrence OstlereAn even seventh round followed until Benn unleashed a venomous combination and a huge right onto the head of Eubank Jr.
Benn smiled and goaded his rival as the bell sounded and even though Eubank Jr spat out his gumshield at the start of round eight, a thrilling trade-off concluded this three-minute section.
The rematch had not turned into a brawl like the first encounter, but threatened to explode at any moment and Eubank Sr had words of his advice for his son going into round nine.
Eubank Jr did catch Benn soon after but whistles followed from a subdued crowd during a flat round 10 as fatigue set in.
How the night unfolded
04:04 , Lawrence OstlereBenn, dubbed the 'People's Champion' by Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn after defeat seven months ago, had been booed ahead of the first fight, but had the initial support in his home city of London and started strongly.
After Benn immediately rushed to the centre of the ring, he enjoyed the opening exchanges with a succession of body shots.
Eubank Jr looked sluggish and bundled over his rival after being caught in the corner at the start of round two, which also went to the younger man.
The jab brought Eubank Jr some much-needed success but Benn continued to produce the cleaner work to hold the advantage at the midway point of the fourth instalment of the family rivalry.
How the night unfolded
02:36 , Lawrence OstlereA mutual respect was fostered during the first fight on April 26 and ensured a largely drama-free fight week - even though the presence of Eubank Sr at Thursday's press conference sparked a heated exchange with old adversary Benn.
With Eubank Sr always set to be in attendance, the rings walks were expected to lack wow factor and star quality until 50 Cent walked out to stun the jubilant crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The American rapper was one of many A-listers present with actors Jason Statham and Pierce Brosnan ringside along with Thierry Henry and pound-for-pound super-middleweight champion Terence Crawford.

Saturday 15 November 2025 21:29 , Alex PattleApplause now, as Essuman is finally standing again after receiving oxygen.
Upon seeing a replay, I don’t think that’s an especially controversial finish.
The referee ruled no knockdown when Essuman tripped, but he said so from behind the boxers; Catterall was focused on ensuring he followed up properly – and he did, dropping Essuman for real.
Essuman seemingly heard the referee, because he protested while on the canvas, but he should have prioritised defending himself in the time between the non-knockdown and actual one...
... if that makes sense!

Saturday 15 November 2025 21:09 , Alex PattleRound seven
You have to respect Essuman for his drive. They don’t call him the Engine for nothing.
He’s trying to stay on the front foot and box with volume, even with a damaged nose and the nuisance of Catterall’s counters in front of him.
Catterall has landed 50 power punches to Essuman’s 54, per DAZN.
Still, Catterall has to stay alert against the Nottingham fighter...
And indeed, Catterall now has blood on his cheek and shoulder, from a a cut!
A right uppercut seemed to do it! El Gato leaned right into it...

Clever uppercut by Catterall, then a left hook. He’s using that southpaw rear hand like a wand right now.

He ends the round well, too.
Good recovery by Essuman, but surely his nose will give him grief down the stretch?

Saturday 15 November 2025 20:18 , Alex PattleRound 12

Welch wings a big right hand that is miles away. Riakporhe comes at him with jabs and corners him.
And another knockdown!! Riakporhe drops Welch again with a right cross, and after Welch just about makes it back to his feet, he’s knocked down a third and final time – courtesy of a right hook – with the ref waving it off at once!
Welch is soon back on his feet, talking to Riakporhe, but that was the right call by the official.

Interview | Eubank Jr: 'People try to strip us of our health – we’re used, betrayed’
Saturday 15 November 2025 16:30 , Alex PattleEubank Jr drums his fingers against his plastic water bottle, staring past it and at the floor. After a long silence, filled with thought, he says: “I don’t think I’m gonna answer that one.”
Eubank Jr does not share his rival’s mistrust of the media, but on the cusp of his highly-anticipated rematch with Conor Benn, the 36-year-old is picking and choosing what to share when it comes to his stirring revelation this week: that he will be a father to twin boys. As Eubank Jr and Benn once again prepare to emulate their dads – Chris Sr and Nigel – with a rematch to mirror their fathers’ 30 years ago, it’s insisted there will be no third-generation showdown.
Sitting upstairs in Canary Wharf’s glassy Pelligon building, four days out from Saturday’s rematch, Eubank Jr looks almost unrecognisable from two versions of himself in April: the skeletal figure trying to make weight, and the swollen, hospitalised one after a blood-spattered thriller in Tottenham. Today, his eyes look only slightly sunken, the shape of his skull just subtly pronounced.

Chris Eubank Jr: ‘People try to strip us of our health – we get used and betrayed’
Interview | Benn: ‘If you win a boring fight, did you really even win?’
Saturday 15 November 2025 16:20 , Alex Pattle“It came so close, to where it was like: ‘I just need one more punch,’” Benn told The Independent in the Matchroom gym in Essex last month, reflecting on moments when Eubank Jr looked in serious danger of humiliation in April.
“He just used his experience well in there. I didn’t give him enough credit, but he deserves it for his chin, resilience, heart, engine. To deliver that sort of fight for the public, there’s only one man who could have brought that out of me: his name’s Chris.”

How the night unfolded
Saturday 15 November 2025 23:49 , Lawrence OstlereConor Benn claimed redemption against an out-of-sorts Chris Eubank Jr with a masterful display to end the long wait for his family to secure victory in this 35-year rivalry.
The sons of Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr had produced a classic encounter in April which went the way of the latter to ensure it was 2-0 after three historic bouts.
A fourth and final instalment failed to match the drama of previous contests, but Benn produced a composed showing for the best performance of his career to win by unanimous decision after the judges scored the one-sided fight 119-107, 116-110, 118-108.
How the night unfolded
Saturday 15 November 2025 23:52 , Lawrence OstlereA mutual respect was fostered during the first fight on April 26 and ensured a largely drama-free fight week - even though the presence of Eubank Sr at Thursday's press conference sparked a heated exchange with old adversary Benn.
With Eubank Sr always set to be in attendance, the rings walks were expected to lack wow factor and star quality until 50 Cent walked out to stun the jubilant crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The American rapper was one of many A-listers present with actors Jason Statham and Pierce Brosnan ringside along with Thierry Henry and pound-for-pound super-middleweight champion Terence Crawford.
