Conor Benn aims brutal dig at his own father after winning Chris Eubank Jr boxing rematch

It was a moment loaded with history: something his father Nigel never managed in two iconic clashes with Chris Eubank Sr during the early 1990s.

Eubank Sr won their first fight in 1990, while the 1993 rematch ended in a draw - leaving Nigel without the bragging rights he had always coveted.

Conor, however, wasted no time reminding his dad that he had succeeded where the legendary “Dark Destroyer” could not.

Asked in the ring what was running through his mind after the final bell, he grinned, looked toward Nigel and delivered a cheeky line designed to stir the pot: “I’ve got one on you, Nige.”

The elder Benn burst into laughter, delighted by the joke, and father and son shared an emotional high-ten in front of the roaring crowd.

Fans were equally amused, with social media lighting up in response.

“Looks like Dad’s got some catching up to do haha,” one wrote. “Historic for the Benn family,” added another.

A third described it as “one hell of a legacy moment, kid,” while others praised the pair’s bond, calling the exchange “brilliant” and “heart-warming.”

Despite the emotional significance of the victory, Benn insisted the rivalry between the two families is now officially over.

Speaking to DAZN, he said: “It’s been some journey and I feel like this is the end of the Benn-Eubank saga. It’s done and finished. It’s over. This ends here.”

Benn used the moment to silence critics who doubted his boxing ability, adding: “Everyone was saying I can’t box - put that in your pipe and smoke it. This wouldn’t have been what it was without Chris and without our dads. This is generational. This is history. Credit to Chris… Not bad for two silver spoon kids.”

Although talk of a trilogy fight was expected to surface immediately, Benn’s declaration appears to have put an end to any immediate hopes of a third instalment.

Eubank Jr, meanwhile, hinted he needs time to reset before thinking about what comes next.

The pair have since been handed automatic medical suspensions - a standard procedure in boxing that prevents fighters from returning too quickly after a demanding or damaging contest.

Both will require clearance from doctors before they can resume their careers.

In the fallout from the bout, former world champion Tony Bellew criticised Eubank Jr’s performance and questioned his failure to follow the guidance of trainer Brian “BoMac” McIntyre.

“He didn’t listen to his advice,” Bellew said. “He was telling him to put the jab on him — use the jab, create the distance. And he wasn’t listening. And he’s paid the price. I will give him credit, he’s a brave boy. The two of them are absolute warriors.”
