One Week On from "Fatal Fury"
It’s been seven days since Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn brought one of British boxing’s most explosive family feuds back under the lights. In front of a roaring crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the two sons of legends collided in a gripping 12-round battle that lived up to its decades of build-up.
Eubank Jr, calm under pressure and clinical in execution, walked away with a clear unanimous decision win, the judges all seeing it 116-112. For him, it was redemption. For Benn, a lesson—and a promise of vengeance.
Aftermath: Pain, Pride, and Post-Fight Surgery
In the immediate hours following the bout, rumours of a broken jaw surfaced, only to be shut down days later as Eubank Jr revealed he'd undergone surgery to repair a cut above his eye, a wound caused by a brutal head clash mid-fight. Though bruised, he was resolute—and smiling.
Benn, no less battered, showed no signs of retreat. Behind the scenes, he’s been vocal about wanting a second shot. In his own words: "This isn't over." The idea of a rematch isn’t just speculation—it’s fuelled by frustration, pride, and unfinished business.
Rematch in the Works?
A rematch clause was baked into the contract, and talks for a potential September showdown are already swirling. Whether it takes place at the same weight, in the same venue, or with even higher stakes remains to be seen. But one thing’s certain: both camps are watching each other closely.
Eubank Jr, though, might have other ideas. With confidence brimming and momentum on his side, he’s been eyeing elite opposition—possibly a mega-fight against a global star. His team believes his style and name are ready for the world stage.
As for Benn, there’s talk of a return to the welterweight division, with some whispers hinting at a run toward a world title. Whether he takes a detour or runs it back with Eubank, his fire hasn’t dimmed one bit.
A Legacy Reignited
What started as a modern-day echo of their fathers' rivalry has now become its own beast. Eubank vs Benn was never just a nostalgia trip—it was a statement from two fighters carving their own legacies from the shadows of giants.
This fight didn’t just deliver—it laid the foundation for a new chapter in British boxing history. And fans aren’t just hoping for a sequel—they're demanding it.
