Eubank Jr's victory extended his professional record to 35 wins from 38 fights. Benn acknowledged the defeat on social media, stating: "Experience gained, lessons learned."
The April contest attracted enormous interest despite no championship being at stake, taking place 35 years after their fathers first met in the ring. The bout had been highly anticipated following years of controversy and delays.

The venue for the September rematch remains unconfirmed, though the original Tottenham Hotspur Stadium appears likely.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn told Ring magazine: "Spurs is contracted - it's a fantastic stadium and it worked extremely well the first time."
However, given the April bout sold out completely, Hearn suggested a larger venue might be considered.

GETTY"Obviously, it was sold out and this fight's even bigger, so you could possibly look at Wembley to increase the capacity," he added.
The first encounter drew massive crowds to the 62,850-capacity Tottenham stadium. A move to Wembley would potentially allow up to 90,000 spectators to witness the highly anticipated rematch between the British rivals.
The path to their first meeting was marked by significant controversy. The fighters were originally scheduled to meet in 2022, but the bout was cancelled after Benn failed a drugs test.

Benn denied intentional doping and received clearance from anti-doping authorities two years later. An independent report suggested the failed test could have resulted from a "highly elevated consumption" of eggs.
This led to an extraordinary incident at a February media conference when Eubank slapped Benn with an egg during their face-off.
The stunt resulted in a £100,000 fine for Eubank, whilst heated exchanges continued throughout the build-up.
