The rivalry between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn is a modern chapter in a saga that began with their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, two of the most iconic British boxers of the 1990s. Their legendary bouts—Eubank Sr. defeating Benn in 1990 and their 1993 rematch ending in a draw—captured the nation’s imagination and set the stage for the next generation.
🥊 The 2025 Showdown: Eubank Jr. vs. Benn
After years of speculation, the sons faced off on April 26, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The event, dubbed “Fatal Fury”, was a 12-round middleweight bout that drew a crowd of 67,484 spectators. Eubank Jr. secured a unanimous decision victory, with all three judges scoring the fight 116–112 in his favour.
The fight was a brutal and dramatic affair. Benn started aggressively, landing significant punches, including a powerful eighth round where he hurt Eubank Jr. However, Eubank Jr. showcased superior stamina and tactical skill, gradually regaining control and outlanding Benn in every round.
Both fighters were hospitalized post-fight for precautionary reasons. Eubank Jr. spent two nights in the hospital but was discharged on April 28. Benn, despite the loss, expressed a desire for a rematch and has already resumed training.
