We need to make sure this rematch doesn’t happen. The rehydration clause is just too brutal. pic.twitter.com/fFvEXLH5ZS
Although he claimed the win via unanimous decision, what happened after the fight left his father shaken to the core 😔
🚨 “We were in the ambulance… sirens blaring, chaos everywhere,” Eubank Sr said on his YouTube channel. “Junior’s face looked like a swollen football. He was in real danger.”
🛌 Eubank Jr spent two nights in hospital, battling severe dehydration and swelling. His father, once critical of him, stayed by his side in silence—watching, praying, fearing.
😭 “When he laid on that hospital bed… he looked exactly like Sebastian,” Eubank Sr said, recalling his late son who passed in 2021. “That image will never leave me.”
⚠️ “Junior doesn’t even know his life was at risk. He wouldn’t care—he’s a warrior. But as a father… I was terrified.”
🏥 Eubank Jr was touch and go. “We didn’t know if he’d make it until the scans came back,” he added. “There are billionaires who would give it all for what he has—heart, pride, courage. But it comes at a cost.”
🙏 “The boxing world may celebrate victory—but behind the scenes, this was a fight for life.”
📹 “It’s real for us,” Eubank Sr said, tears in his eyes.

GG Counterpunch:‼️🥊
⚠️I told you all what might happen before the fight, didn’t I? I said Eubank Jr would likely get knocked out-cold due to rehydration issues.
🥵 He wasn’t knocked out—he was incredibly lucky. But now we understand the family went through serious drama after the fight.
🥊Eubank Jr and Benn were never true middleweights. Both entered the ring at a disadvantage. But the one truly in danger was Eubank Jr.
📵 One of the reasons I didn’t want to watch this fight live was exactly that. I want to see fair, balanced boxing matches. I don’t want to watch people put their lives at risk.
🗣 "I didn't know he had that in him"

🧱 I know some people are probably bothered by the things I write. That doesn’t matter to me. I’m not exactly the most loved person in my inner circle anyway. I’m used to that reaction. But I’ll never stop telling the truth.
🎭 Watching people risk their lives for entertainment? That’s not for me.
❌ And after all this drama… I don’t think a rematch is happening.
