Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn LIVE: All the reaction as The Destroyer WINS by unanimous decision after battering his bitter rival to claim family’s first win of 35-year feud

Conor Benn, speaking to DAN:

I want to thank everyone that has come out tonight, it’s been some journey. This is the end of the Benn Eubank saga, over. Chris has twins coming and I have my boy, but this ends here.

Everyone says I can’t box, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

It was spot the celebrity tonight. From Rod Stewart to Pierce Brosnan. From Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Curtis Jones.

They must have been impressed!

As well as revealing he’ll be celebrating with a Five Guys, Conor Benn has called out Mario Barrios for his next bout back down at 147.

Barrios is currently the WBC world champion at welterweight – the belt that Nigel Benn once held. Conor now wants that one.

He did make a point of calling out anyone in America too, though. Ryan Garcia, maybe?

Riath’s take from the stadium is in, and it’s well worth the read.

Anything this man doesn’t know about boxing isn’t worth knowing, trust me. He has covered Conor Benn at his lowest low and, now, his highest high.

Click here or below to read his take!

• No1 carpenter, Sheffield: Pathetic mismatch, Eubank had no strength, weight cut was ridiculous.
• Anonymous, Eastbourne: Eubank too old, age waits for no man! Benn done a good job young man’s game.
• The one who lived, York: Setting up the trilogy as we speak.
• Carlosjb, Ipswich: Benn really isnt that good. Eubank jr just allowed him to let his shots off. Very odd indeed. If eubank had used his jab even just a bit it would have been a different story.

Tony Bellew, former cruiserweight world champion, speaking on DAZN:

I don’t think he’s done. He has come up against a boy who waned a boxing match.

My point from day one was Eubank is a better fighter than he is a boxer. Benn showed he can keep his temperament in place. He used speed, size, all the attributes to his advantage.

I haven’t seen Eubank out-boxed that much since BJ and Groves. That isn’t to do with getting old.

Carl Frampton, speaking to DAZN:

I don’t want to take anything away from Benn. I struggled to give Eubank a round. I felt sorry for him at times – he was being bullied by the younger, fresher, stronger man.

I don’t think anyone expected that to be that one-sided. It was a punch-perfect performance from Conor Benn.

There was a lot of talk before the fight that this could have been the end for Eubank Jr. He certainly fought like it was.

But, his words post-fight seem to suggest it isn’t. I’m not 100 per cent sure what he was talking about when he said he has to deal with some stuff, but we won’t be seeing him any time soon.

Still, no retirement. It’s been some career for the 36-year-old, but I’m not sure what’s next.

Eddie Hearn, Conor Benn’s promoter, speaking to DAZN:

I’m not crying. This is what it’s all about. People don’t understand. Benn gave up everything back home to live the dream. He is a great example of people who can’t see a way back. Last year, there was no way back. He was down and out and people need to realise he is an inspiration.

He was done, he had no money, he was fighting cases and selling everything. He won by a landslide. Now we do what his dad did – drop down to 147 and try and win a world title. I believe he will do it.

Nigel Benn, speaking to DAZN:

He has got one up on me, I am going to get it. But I am so proud of what he did. He stuck to his game plan, worked the body, and did what he had to do.

He can drop back down, grab the real belt. I’m proud of you, son.

Him being proud is all that matters. There was a lot of pressure on me to settle it tonight. I felt it. I wanted to do the family name proud.

Chris Eubank Jr, speaking to DAZN:

I have been through hell and back to get to this night and it is what it is. I tried my best, the kid fought hard and tough, he has got power. He was bigger than me on the scales, I don’t know how you did it.

We put on a show. Conor Benn was the best man tonight. Congratulations to him.

It’s 1-1, I have to go away and deal with some things. Maybe we will see more with me and him, maybe we won’t.

Conor Benn, speaking to DAZN:

I got one on you Nige! Hold that! Do you know what? It has been some journey and I feel like this is the end of the Benn-Eubank saga. It is done, finished, over.

This ends here. Everyone said I can’t box. How about that?

It has gone quiet real quick. This wouldn’t have been what it was without Chris and our dads. Credit to Chris.

Conor Benn beats Chris Eubank via unanimous decision!

The Benns have claimed a victory after 35 years of rivalry. Nigel is in there, Conor is on his shoulders.

Eubank stood staring at his opponent as he celebrated on the turnbuckle.

A moment of respect is shared after the fight. I can’t hear what they are saying, but they exchange words and a hug.

A roar from the previous booers in north London as the final round gets underway.

Eubank is trying to find the right hand. No luck yet. Benn dodges, his footwork as good as it has been all night.

EUBANK IS DROPPED! RIGHT AT THE END!

Can Benn stop him? He’s on the ropes. Benn going for blood.

Eubank is down for the second time in the round!

He is saved by the bell. But this is a dominant victory as you can get.

According to CompuBox, Eubank Jr is landing just six punches per round. Six!

Sims has told Benn that Eubank Jr is trying to win the final few seconds to impress the judges, but I’m not sure it will work. He needs a stoppage.

Eubank is just grabbing and going for body shots. But he is miles off it.

One more to go for Benn to see out. Eubank needs a miracle…

Benn is told to let his hands go in his corner by Tony Sims. All he needs to do is be disciplined.

The Destroyer is essentially chasing his opponent around the ring now. There are a few boos in the crowd.

Eubank attempts to go on the front foot, but he is struggling big time here. More body shots from Benn.

Right hand from Benn is eaten by Eubank. He has his man in the corner. A good left is blocked.

Some really good shots from Benn early and I thought he was in there.

The crowd are coming alive at every interaction, because we are getting to crunch time.

Eubank is almost on the ropes now. To be fair to him, he is still throwing back a bit, but nothing is causing any sort of damage at all.

Eubank does land at the end of the round as Benn gets greedy, but meh.

Carl Frampton, speaking to DAZN:

I have given Conor everything. I thought about giving Eubank a pity round, but I don’t think it was enough.

Conor looks the stronger man and is really in control. It is hard to see it happening for Eubank. Who thought anyone would say it would be an easy fight for Conor Benn?

Eubank is having a go, but not much is going for him right now. Benn is landing properly.

It’s very curious this, from the fight one winner. Benn says he will have a go, but Eubank grabs before having his mouth guard reset.

He is just boxing on the back foot, not throwing any shots with real conviction, and letting this pass him by.

EUBANK WITH TWO RIGHT HANDS! ANOTHER!

Benn smells blood here. Eubank Jr looks really weak, and he may already need a knockout.

Benn going hard early and Eubank has to grab.

According to CompuBox, it’s 35-21 to Benn in terms of jabs landed so far.

He’s defending really well, too.

A BIG RIGHT HANDS FROM BENN! Eubanks says fine. Words exchanged at the bell!

Barry Jones, former featherweight world champion, speaking on DAZN:

He looks lethargic and it’s usually due to weight issues. Everyone struggles to make weight, he overadvertised it, but it might be an issue.

Benn is taking advantage of every frailty, boxing under instruction.

Eubank’s corner are calling for more jabs and we are seeing that early doors here.

Benn, though, isn’t worried, but does eat a right hand to the chin.

A big right from Benn, but Eubank hits back instantly. He’s more in this round.

Potentially the closest round we have had – it ends with Eubank falling to the floor again. I think Benn pushed him.

Come on, Eubank. Not that I’m necessarily cheering him on, but just show us something.

Barry Jones on commentary for DAZN is questioning whether this is one fight too many for Eubank. Maybe too early to say that, but he is being schooled.

He is throwing but missing. A jab and an uppercut.

A good left jab from Benn as the crowd urge him on.

A bit better with a low jab, but he is feeling for it.

Benn then fires in two strong shots – Eubank laughs. The first signs of a real attack that we have seen.

They are starting to slog it out a bit more now. We are in a fight. It was a weird start from Eubank.

Good left jab from Benn. Then they exchange good lefts. Looks like the right eye of Eubank could be swelling…

He tried for a right hook but misses. Another body shot from Benn.

Benn lands another jab early. He’s throwing that shot a lot more than he did in the first fight.

Eubank is now trying to come forward a little bit more. He narrowly misses a big uppercut but then lands a left on the back foot.

Eubank hits the deck, but he’s pushed over. Much closer, now, with Eubank now getting his hands going.

Bo Mac is telling Eubank to relax in his corner. Benn’s round first up, for sure.

Benn hits the deck but it’s no knockdown. Benn bundled over, really. Kevin Parker wants a word with both men. It’s quite a long one.

Benn is throwing a lot here and hits another good body shot.

The Destroyer is looking very quick here. Eubank is silent, not really moving much, and on the back foot. Is it deliberate?

Either way, I think it may be two rounds to Benn.

It’s Benn on the front foot early, with the loser of the last fight taking the centre.

A good body shot from Benn as we pass the minute mark. Eubank being very selective with his shots.

Really good from Benn. Quick shots but then he eats one from Eubank.

Benn goes for a big shot and it gets a bit scrappy as referee Kevin Parker calls for them to separate.

A decent first round. Both men looking comfortable.

There’s a pause for a round of applause for Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, and we are just about ready to get underway here.

Cheers for Benn. Boos for Eubank. That has changed a little since last time.

One final pep talk from both fathers. Chris nods his head. Conor confident.

And the first bell rings. A roar from the crowd.

Good evening, gentlemen…

Just James Bond and Rod Stewart. No worries.

Rod didn’t seem too impressed with 50 Cent, though!

We are hearing there has been a delay backstage. Games until the very end!

LOUD boos for Eubank Jr. Here he comes!

It’s the usual Still D.R.E. for him, until 50 Cent comes out! Riath said he was there!

The Eubanks walk with pure swagger. What a dynasty. We spoke about proud fathers…

A warning that there is strong language in the below video.

I’m a pretty cynical soul on a variety of boxing topics, but any ring walk that involves a marching band of drummers is a fun touch in my book. Hat tip to Benn.

It’s a nice moment seeing Conor and Nigel together. That is one proud father.

Benn finishes his walk on by being drummed to the ring, and the crowd is on his side here. So keen to see if he can get revenge here.

It’s going on a long time, I can’t lie.

After Sweet Caroline plays, Adam Smith takes control on DAZN as the crowd lets out a huge cheer.

It’s then over to Michael Buffer. You know the voice.

Benn is out first. A mixture of cheers and boos.

He takes his time. Ready or Not by The Delfonics is his choice of music to start with.

Then, after the Big Ben chimes, In the Air Tonight breaks out. Bop, to be fair.

Tony Bellew, former cruiserweight world champion, speaking on DAZN:

They are going straight back it and I think that favours Benn. He will have healed quicker and he will want to go into the fire quicker.

Technique and game plan will go out in the window again. Benn has to go there, he is the shorter guy. I can’t see this being anything but another classic.

Our sources tell us 50 Cent is in Eubank’s dressing room.

Meanwhile, a variety of staff are mopping down the ring after that Catterall-Essuman bloodbath. Fair play to Catterall – excellent performance.

You may remember that Eubank Jr was fined £375,000 for missing weight last fight – if not only because I mentioned it earlier.

Well, Benn has revealed how he spent that money: on a Rolls Royce.

He loves it, too. Fair enough.

The pictures are still filtering through, but we have some famous faces in the house tonight.

How’s Jason Statham for you? How about Rosie Huntingdon Whitley? Thierry Henry?

PIERCE BROSNAN is here too! Mega.

The undercard has just finished up here in north London, with Jack Catterall claiming a dominant win over Eko Essuman.

Here are the full results from the other fights:

• Adam Azim def. Kurt Scoby by 12th round TKO
• Richard Riakporhe def. Tommy Welch by second-round knockout
• Ishmael Davis def. Sam Gilley by unanimous decision
• Mikie Tallon def. Fezan Shahid by fifth round knockout

I’ll be honest, I’m not cool enough to know what song this is. Not even close.

But that is besides the point – the Destroyer is chilled, confident, and, seemingly, read.

A good sign for his fans.

That, and I now have a song stuck in my head that I do not know the name of.

We’re getting closer and closer to go time here – and the two fighters for the main event have been getting their hands wrapped ahead of the ring walks.

Both look very calm. No time to stress now – no going back!

Turki Al-Sheikh has told DAZN that Anthony Joshua is set to fight in Riyadh in February and then have a big London fight in London.

Not named were mentioned, but Hearn, AJ’s promoter, said recently: ‘Our plan is really cemented with Turki Al-Sheikh for 2026. And that’s a big fight in February, and then Tyson Fury.’

Jake Paul first though of course, pal.

Johnny Nelson, former cruiserweight world champion, speaking to WhichBookie:

My prediction is that Conor Benn will beat Chris Eubank Jr. by way of a tight points decision.

Conor’s main threats, which he must use to good effect in this fight, are pace and pressure. With pace and pressure, he can snatch Eubank Jr’s heart.

He can snatch his lungs, drain his energy and put him under immense pressure. I’m not sure Benn can stop him; I don’t see a one-punch knockout happening there. That said, I could see a situation where the onslaught is so constant that the referee has to step in.

Here’s a look inside the dressing room of the Benn camp. Sort of, anyway.

You may recognise this – especially if you’re a Tottenham fan. But no football teams in here today – just Benn and his boxing team.

Plenty of room. Very nice.

Nigel Benn, Conor Benn’s father and former boxer:

Conor’s fitness is another level. It was about his mindset. His team behind him is relaxed. No stress.

I know we’re going to get a victory, I’m 100 per cent sure of that. Conor had him more in trouble than he had Conor (last time).

Eddie Hearn, Conor Benn’s promoter, speaking to The Sun:

I just know that a lot of people around him didn’t want him to carry on fighting after the last fight. And I think this fight will be the same kind of fight in terms of how taxing it’ll be, how tough it’ll be.

I just think he’s coming to the end of his career. What is he, 36? You can’t have too many fights like that, so let’s see how he performs on Saturday, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his last fight.

As of last night, there were still a few tickets on sale ahead of tonight, with the anticipation admittedly not as high as the first fight between these two.

What’s the reason for this fight? Family pride? Boxing success? Money?

Well worth reading the below from the legendary Jeff Powell, who has tried to break down tonight and what’s on the line. Spoiler: He’s not too impressed. But still well worth it.

You can read by clicking here or below.

The Eubank camp have been stuck in a lift inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium… and Eubank Jr is convinced Hearn has set it up!

‘The sabotage begins,’ he said, laughing at his dad – who, interestingly, was shaking his head.

He continued: ‘Now the lift doesn’t work. It’s OK. It’s OK, Conor. You can stop the lift, you can stop the cars from coming in. It won’t change your fate, my friend.’

I must warn you about the below clip – there is strong language!

A pretty sedate atmosphere here through the undercard so far. There’s a significant number of empty seats in the stadium despite the best efforts of those selling the show – 2,000 tickets given away to local cab drivers and massively reduced prices on the secondary markets. Indifference or a fading novelty?

Either way, it will be a large crowd in excess of 55,000 for an outdoor fight on a drizzly night in November. For those interested, Benn drew the louder cheer upon his arrival and hour or so ago.

The issue around the state Eubank Jr was in after his last fight rang true. He was interviewed after the ring despite being seriously dehydrated, and put in an ambulance. He has since claimed that Eddie Hearn was responsible for the delay in the ambulance getting to hospital. We don’t know what will happen this time.

This time, Daily Mail Sport was granted exclusive access to Eubank Jr’s training camp in Dubai. We watched him power through a brutal conditioning session, trade blows with sparring partners and unveil a cutting-edge recovery routine designed to extend his career.

There is so much to his recovery now. deep massages, but not getting involved with the cold – no chance.

Click here or below to ready more from Charlotte Daly. Again, well worth it, I feel.

Eubank was dehydrated after the last fight. He cut down to 160.05lbs last time, still missing weight by half an ounce, resulting in a £375,000 fine. Ouch.

This time, though, he weight in LESS than Benn, coming in at 159.1lbs yesterday, with his rival at 159.3lbs.

The second generation star shared a clip of his brutal preparations for this fight, wearing a full sweat suit, roasting himself as he set to work on the exercise bike while draped in a towel and wearing a plastic hat.

Not far behind him… Conor Benn is here too! Not quite flanked by his father Nigel, but the former boxer isn’t too far behind.

It’s white and blue for him tonight. A lot more level-headed this time around, apparently. We will see.

We have our first arrivals of the night, with both Chris Eubanks making their ways into the arena to a lot of flashes and a lot of cameras.

Not as much of a shock this time as the last when there were audible gasps around Britain as Eubank Sr got out the car on the back of months of a feud between him and his son.

Things aren’t perfect now, but they are here and together – ready for war.

It was 202 days ago, on Saturday April 26, that 67,000 fans made their ways into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to witness what would ultimately be one of the best fights in quite a long time, to be fair.

Two fighters who hated each other – perhaps still do – going head to head in an absolute slog fest. Capturing the nation, the Eubank name would rise, with the Benns falling courtesy of Conor.

It was a bout a long time in the making. Years, in fact. They had been due to do battle back in 2022, before Benn tested positive for banned substance clomifene.

That would be the main ammo for Eubank’s jibes his rivals’ way in the build-up to the April bout. So much so that he at one point slapped an egg across the then-28-year-old’s face. Eggs were blamed for the positive test.

Nonetheless, Eubank dropped a ton of weight, dominated the fight, and was then rushed to hospital with dehydration. Talk about drama.

And that leads us to tonight.
