Conor Benn Wins Rematch vs. Eubank Jr. by Unanimous Decision
Conor Benn claimed victory over Chris Eubank Jr. in their highly anticipated rematch on Saturday night, securing a unanimous decision after 12 rounds at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 29-year-old welterweight evened their personal series at one win each, dominating the bout with precise combinations and superior movement in front of a sellout crowd of 67,000. Judges scored the fight 119-107, 118-108, and 116-110 in Benn's favor, marking the first time a member of the Benn family has defeated an Eubank in professional boxing.
The rematch, held seven months after Eubank's narrow decision win in April, unfolded far differently from their initial clash. Benn, fighting at middleweight for the second time, controlled the action from the opening bell. His sharp jab and effective body shots kept Eubank on the defensive, while lateral footwork neutralized the older fighter's reach advantage. CompuBox statistics showed Benn landing more punches throughout, with his right hand proving particularly damaging. In rounds three and four, clean straight rights staggered Eubank, and by the middle rounds, Benn had pinned his opponent against the ropes multiple times.
