In a highly intense and brutal boxing match on April 26, 2025, Chris Eubank Jr. defeated Conor Benn by unanimous decision at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The fight, which had been building in anticipation for months, was more than just a contest between two fighters—it was a continuation of the legendary rivalry between their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn.

The Brutal Fight and Injuries

The 12-round bout saw both fighters throwing almost 600 punches, with 407 landing cleanly according to CompuBox statistics. Despite their best efforts, both Eubank Jr. and Benn suffered significant damage during the fight. After the match, Eubank Jr. was taken to the hospital for a routine post-fight check-up. Initial reports suggesting a broken jaw were quickly debunked, and medical tests came back clear, with Eubank Jr. expected to be discharged by Monday.

Conor Benn was also hospitalized, though details of his condition remain scarce. The fact that both fighters were admitted to the hospital emphasizes just how fierce and grueling the fight had been.

Unexpected Meeting in the Hospital

After the fight, Eubank Jr. and Benn found themselves in nearby hospital beds, though there was no official word on whether they spoke to each other. What made this encounter even more intriguing was the presence of Chris Eubank Sr., who had previously distanced himself from his son’s fight and publicly criticized the event. Surprisingly, he joined his son in the hospital, showing his support for Eubank Jr. despite his earlier reservations about the match.

A Possible Rematch on the Horizon

Despite the intense rivalry, Benn expressed interest in facing Eubank Jr. again. He acknowledged that he needed to improve in certain areas before stepping into the ring for a rematch. Promoter Eddie Hearn suggested that Benn should consider returning to his natural welterweight division instead of rushing into another intense contest. However, with backing from influential figures like Turki al-Sheikh, a rematch could be arranged for September, particularly considering the public demand for another showdown.

A Historic Match

Eubank Jr. vs. Benn has now become a significant moment in British boxing history, known for its raw intensity and emotional stakes. Despite the injuries sustained by both fighters, they demonstrated unwavering dedication and sportsmanship, giving everything for the sport they love. The match left fans wondering what could be next for both athletes, with the possibility of a future rematch creating even more excitement for the future of the rivalry.
