The Fathers: Eubank vs. Benn – The Original War

To understand the hate between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn, you have to go back to the early 1990s — when their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, were the most violent, most talked-about, and most controversial rivals in British boxing history.

Their first fight in 1990 was an instant classic: Eubank won via TKO in Round 9.

Their rematch in 1993 was a brutal, bloody draw — one that left both men battered, but unsatisfied.

 

There was no third fight.
No closure.
Only animosity… and pride.

For over three decades, fans begged for a trilogy.
Now, they’re getting something better:
The sons.

But it’s not just about boxing style. It’s about family identity.
Eubank Jr. once said:

“Conor’s a boy pretending to be a man. I was born into greatness — he’s still chasing his father’s ghost.”

Benn fired back:

“You’re living off your dad’s name. I’m fighting for mine.”
