Conor Benn Floors Chris Eubank Jr Twice, Cruises to Unanimous Decision to Even Rivalry

Under strict weight and rehydration terms, Benn’s composed display reset the rivalry, boosting his title prospects.

Overview

  • Judges scored it 119-107, 118-108 and 116-110 after Benn scored two knockdowns in the 12th round to cap a dominant performance.
  • The non-title middleweight rematch took place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London and was distributed on DAZN pay-per-view.
  • Both fighters made the middleweight limit and met the 170lb next-morning rehydration cap, a safeguard added after April’s controversies.
  • The result levels the series at 1–1 and leaves open the possibility of a deciding trilogy bout.
  • After the loss, Eubank said he had “been through hell and back” and would address personal issues, as undercard standouts Jack Catterall and Adam Azim scored stoppage wins.
