🔍 The Tale of the Tape: Favoring Eubank Jr
Despite not being natural middleweights, both men had something to prove.
- Chris Eubank Jr (35-3-0-25 KOs) came in with a clear edge in size, experience, and high-level opponents
- Conor Benn (23-1-0-14 KOs), younger and inactive for 15 months, was seen as physically outmatched but emotionally fired up 💪⚡
While most experts picked Eubank Jr as the favorite, GG boldly backed Benn, citing his explosiveness and hunger. 🔥
🚨 Not Elite Fighters, But a Massive Stage
It’s fair to say—these fighters are not world-beaters. Eubank Jr has repeatedly missed chances at world title shots, and Benn is still untested at the elite level. Both men climbed this far more due to their fathers’ reputations than their own records. And yet, they headlined what felt like an Anthony Joshua-level main event. 💰👑
🧠 Strategic Shift: Eubank’s In-Fight Adaptation
The early rounds told a shocking story.
- Rounds 1-4: Benn looked sharp, aggressive, and in control.
- Round 3: He rocked Eubank Jr with a clean right hand that stunned the veteran.
- From Round 5 onward: Eubank Jr smartly shifted to a close-range style, initiating more clinches and inside fighting that disrupted Benn’s rhythm and strategy. 🎯
Fathers. Sons. Fighters.

🤯 Questionable Refereeing & Controversial Tactics
Eubank Jr’s dirty tactics cannot be ignored:
- Repeated rabbit punches (illegal blows to the back of the head) were delivered without any point deductions
- Constant trash-talking in the ring designed to provoke Benn, which the referee failed to control
Despite multiple warnings, no penalties were enforced, raising serious questions about officiating.
🧨 Benn’s Courage: Grit Over Size
Despite being smaller and less experienced, Benn held his own—and more.
- He had Eubank in trouble 2-3 times during the fight
- He absorbed clean, heavy punches from the bigger man without even losing balance (except for the final seconds of Round 12)
Ironically, Eubank Jr never truly hurt Benn until the closing seconds. And even then, Benn survived it standing! 💥🧷

🧾 The Official Scores & The Ring Magazine Belt Scandal
All three judges scored the fight 116-112 for Eubank Jr. With this result:
- The Eubank family took a 2-0 lead in the generational feud
- Chris Eubank Jr claimed the vacant Ring Magazine Middleweight Championship 🏆
But here’s the twist: this belt, traditionally reserved for the best vs the best, was never meant to be awarded in such a match. For hard-core boxing fans, it was a scandal. 😤📉
💰 The Money Behind the Mayhem
Reports suggest that the fighters received £18 million in total purses:
- Eubank Jr: £10 million
- Conor Benn: £8 million
These numbers eclipse what many world champions earn, proving just how powerful nostalgia and national pride are at the box office. 💸🎟️
🔁 Rematch Incoming: But I Won’t Watch It Live
There’s a rematch clause, and they’ll likely cash in again by year’s end.
But as someone who supports elite boxing, I won’t watch it live—just like this time, I’ll catch it later on YouTube. My support stays with the top-tier athletes who move the sport forward. 🧠🫡
👨👦 A Classy Touch: Eubank Sr, Nigel Benn & the Moment of Unity
Despite not being expected, Chris Eubank Sr showed up, sharing a surprisingly warm moment with his former foe Nigel Benn and Conor. It was one of the rare touches of class in an otherwise controversial night. 🤝❤️

🎙️ Post-Fight Excuses & My Final Verdict
After the fight, Eubank Jr claimed he “undertrained” because he underestimated Benn. Let’s be honest—that excuse is laughable. If anything, Conor Benn was the true winner in the eyes of many.
Look at their faces. Look at the fight. Conor Benn was robbed—plain and simple. And the fact that Eubank Jr was hospitalized after the bout tells you everything you need to know. 🏥🗯️
