Conor Benn makes feelings clear on Chris Eubank Jr trilogy fight with next fight already planned

The victory marked sweet redemption for Benn, who had lost their first encounter in April.

Following his triumph, Benn immediately declared the family rivalry concluded. "It's been some journey and I feel like this is the end of the Benn-Eubank saga. Done. Finished. It's over," he told DAZN.

The victor acknowledged the personal stakes for both fighters, mentioning Eubank Jr's newborn twins and his own son. "This ends here," Benn stated firmly.

Addressing critics who questioned his boxing ability, Benn responded: "Everyone was saying I can't box. Put down your pipe and smoke it. How about that?"

Despite the bitter history between their families, Benn showed appreciation for his opponent.

"This wouldn't have been what it was without Chris and our dads, most of all. This is generational. This has never been done before in history. So credit to Chris," he said.

The fighters embraced after the final bell, with Benn adding: "Thank you for sharing the ring with me. It's not bad for two silver spoon kids, eh?"

When asked who he wants to face next, the 29-year-old said: "I fancy Mario Barrios for the WBC world title.

"Ryan Garcia, Rolly Romero, Devin Haney... all of them Yanks can get it any day of the week and twice on Sundays."

The victory carried profound historical weight, marking the first time a member of the Benn family had defeated a Eubank in 35 years of rivalry.

Nigel Benn had faced Chris Eubank Sr twice in the 1990s without success, losing their initial encounter in Birmingham in 1990 before fighting to a controversial draw three years later that left the elder Benn furious.

This fourth chapter across two generations saw Conor achieve what his father could not.

The younger Benn entered the ring accompanied by Nigel, who later lifted his son in celebration as "Dangerous" echoed through the stadium.

The bout attracted numerous celebrities including rapper 50 Cent, actors Jason Statham and Pierce Brosnan, plus football legend Thierry Henry and boxing champion Terence Crawford, all witnessing this historic moment in British boxing.

Benn established control from the opening bell, immediately pressing forward and targeting Eubank Jr's body with repeated shots. The Brighton fighter appeared lethargic and was bundled to the canvas early in the second round.

Throughout the middle rounds, Benn's jab proved effective whilst maintaining consistent pressure. A vicious combination followed by a thunderous right hand in round seven prompted Benn to taunt his opponent as the bell sounded.

Eubank Jr briefly rallied in round eight during an intense exchange, but fatigue became evident as the contest progressed. The crowd grew restless during a lacklustre tenth round, with some spectators departing before the final session.

Benn had adopted a more measured approach than their April encounter, blending calculated aggression with precise shot selection to systematically dismantle his rival.

Promoter Eddie Hearn praised Benn's remarkable journey, highlighting the fighter's sacrifices. "Benn left Australia to pursue his boxing career. He gave up everything to live the dream," Hearn told DAZN.

The Matchroom boss emphasised Benn's resilience after facing adversity. "He's an inspiration. He was done. He had no money. He won that appeal, came back boxed Chris Eubank Jr twice and won by a landslide tonight."

Looking ahead, Hearn revealed plans for Benn's future in the sport. "Now we drop down to 147 and try to win a world title there," he confirmed.

The victory represents a significant turnaround for Benn, who had served a ban following a failed voluntary doping test before returning to face Eubank Jr in their two-fight series.
