The boxing world is still buzzing after Conor Benn’s masterclass demolition of Chris Eubank Jr last night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a unanimous decision shutout (119-107, 116-110, 118-108) that avenged his April loss and finally gave the Benn family a victory over the Eubanks after 35 years of rivalry. Pros are stunned: “Benn broke him – it’s over,” said trainer Ben Davison.
Benn, 28, entered the ring with fire in his eyes, channeling his father’s 1990s wars with Eubank Sr. From the bell, he pressed relentlessly, mixing jabs and body shots that drained the 36-year-old Eubank Jr, who looked shell-shocked and undersized after a brutal weight cut. “I felt him quit after round 3,” Benn said post-fight, hugging Nigel Benn in tears.
The turning point? Round 12’s double knockdown, where Benn’s right hand floored Eubank twice – the second nearly ending it before the bell. Ref Howard Foster waved off any stoppage, but judges had no doubt. “Dominant? Understatement – it was a clinic,” ESPN’s Teddy Atlas raved on air.
Eubank Jr, gracious in defeat, admitted: “He was levels above. Fair play, Conor.” But whispers of a trilogy faded fast; Eubank Sr called it “enough” ringside, while Nigel Benn sneered at Chris Sr: “Prat – we won the war.” The 60,000 crowd chanted “Benn! Benn!” as history flipped.
Pros flooded social media. Dillian Whyte: “Conor’s a destroyer now – AJ next?” Oleksandr Usyk: “Respect to the young lion.” Even Jake Paul tweeted: “Benn’s legit – my money’s on him over AJ.” The win vaults Benn to welterweight contention, eyeing Mario Barrios’ WBC belt.
Financially, the PPV shattered records at 1.2M buys ($80M gate), proving legacy fights sell. But for Eubank Jr (33-3 now), it’s a crossroads: Retirement talk swirls after his Dubois loss and this humbling.
Benn, cleared from 2022 drug woes, reflected: “Dad’s legacy weighed heavy – tonight, I carried it.” With Fury-Usyk III looming, British boxing eyes Benn as the new king.
This wasn’t revenge – it was resurrection. The Destroyer rises, and the Eubank era fades.
