- Judges scored the November 15 rematch 119-107, 118-108 and 116-110 for Benn, who dropped Eubank Jr twice in the final round.
- Despite planning a return to 147 pounds, Benn entered The Ring’s middleweight rankings at No. 4 following the win.
- Benn’s camp says he is ready to challenge WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios as early as March, with future stadium fights at 147 also under discussion.
- Eubank Jr acknowledged he was not himself, citing personal issues, as pundits pointed to weight cutting and dehydration as factors and calls for him to reassess or even retire grew.
- On the undercard, Adam Azim stopped Kurt Scoby and his trainer Shane McGuigan said many credible contenders are unwilling to face the rising 23-year-old.
