Eubank Jr vs Benn LIVE: Fight updates and results after Eubank edges past bitter rival

Follow all the fallout after Chris Eubank Jr settled his bitter grudge with Conor Benn, over 30 years after their fathers rounded out their own rivalry

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn show contrasting emotions at weigh-ins

Chris Eubank Jr won a thrilling fight with Conor Benn on Saturday night, outpointing his bitter rival 116-112 on all three scorecards in London.

At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, two-and-a-half years after they were first due to fight, Eubank Jr finished a see-saw contest in fine form to seal victory over Benn, handing the younger boxer his first professional loss.

There had been drama at the start – with Benn’s two adverse drug-test results thwarting their planned clash in 2022 – and there was drama at the end, as Eubank Sr arrived at the venue with his son, despite criticising the match-up for years.

Thirty-two years after Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, Conor’s father, rounded out their own rivalry with a draw, Jr did what his dad did in 1990: beat a Benn.

Round 12

Sorry for the lack of updates in the last few rounds; the furore around Eubank Sr arriving was a distraction, as you can imagine!

In the first minute of the final frame, a left hook to the body drops Smith, who plants his gloves on the canvas while on both knees and takes a deep breath.

He’s back up and throwing shots, a sign of valiance that is appreciated by the crowd!
