5<\/p>\n Chris Eubank Jr beat Conor Benn by unanimous decision in front of his legendary dadCredit: Reuters 5<\/p>\n Eubank Jr and Benn went the full 12 rounds as pure grit and determination kept both on their feetCredit: PA 5<\/p>\n But Benn declared he was determined to avenge his defeat in a rematchCredit: Reuters<\/p>\n The fight – three decades in the making<\/a> after their legendary fathers duked it out twice in the 1990s – went down to the wire with both giving their all in the clash.<\/p>\n And just like the 90s, it was a Eubank – then Chris Eubank<\/a> Sr – who claimed triumph.<\/p>\n He and Nigel Benn<\/a> then played out a contentious draw three years later but never completed their trilogy.<\/p>\n However, tonight’s battle will not be the final chapter in the family feud<\/a> thanks to a rematch clause inserted in the fight<\/a>, which Benn declared he wants to trigger.<\/p>\n He said: “I want my revenge. I want revenge. <\/p>\n “I think inactivity played a big part it’s quite hard because obviously the past two-and-a-half years what had gone on.<\/p>\n “Not fighting back here and then coming home to this, it did take me back. <\/p>\n “In a good way and in a bad way when I’m sitting there going, ‘Oh my gosh, this is unbelievable.’<\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM \u00a310 DEPOSITS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n “And then in the same breathe it’s just a lot of new first times for me today. First stadium fight, first time fight back here in three years.<\/p>\n “First fight at 160, you know, I had Eubank hurt multiple times, three\/four times in there, noticeably just couldn’t get a finish.”<\/p>\n Chris Eubank Sr arrives wih Jr for Conor Benn in huge show of support despite publicly criticising son<\/p>\n Speaking after the heart-pumping win, Eubank hailed the “special” performance which this grudge-match had managed to extract from him.<\/p>\n He said: “I knew I was capable of that, I just needed someone to bring it out of me. I didn’t expect him to be the guy to do that. I guess the fact our fathers did it years ago.<\/p>\n “I pushed through. There’s a lot of things that have been going on. I’m happy to have this man [Eubank Sr] back with me. Neither was I [sure he’s be in the corner.] He needed to be here. It was special.”<\/p>\n Benn put his defeat down to his 14-months of inactivity outside of the ring, before declaring he wants the rematch.<\/p>\n He said: “14 months out of the ring. Inactivity must have been a factor. I felt it was a close fight. I’m not going to go ‘Yea, I think I won it and all that.’ It was close, I’ve got to watch it back.<\/p>\n “I stayed on the ropes a bit too long, he worked harder towards the end. I’m going to have to watch it back.”<\/p>\n “We knew he was a good fighter. All that talk is fighting talk. I feel like I can compete at 160lbs. I want the rematch, I’d love to avenge that loss. <\/p>\n “But it’s either the rematch or go and face [WBC and WBA super-lightweight champion] Mario Barrios.”<\/p>\n Both stars made the fighting legacy of their fathers – Chris Eubank Sr<\/a> and Nigel Benn – proud over the 12 rounds played out at the Tottenham Hostpur Stadium.<\/a><\/p>\n By round 12 both looked leggy but neither backed down as they continued to swing punches at one another despite their legs failing to work.<\/p>\n But pure grit and determination kept both “Next Gen” and “The Destroyer” on their feet before the final bell tolled.<\/p>\n Eubank Jr, who showed off his battle scars with a large cut above his right eye, dropped to his knees in the ring and let out a primal roar of victory after being crowned.<\/p>\n He was later taken to hospital as a precautionary measure after the savage bout.<\/p>\n Pre-fight the contest was marred by controversy over a failed drugs test during their originally scheduled showdown three years ago and an egg being thrown during a press conference.<\/p>\n Eubank Jr had also been granted an abrupt U-Turn of support from his father<\/a> after the pair had seemingly gone their separate ways after six years of a public fallout in their relationship.<\/p>\n But Eubank Sr delighted the Wembley crowd as he turned up in a car at the stadium before greeting his son and joining him for the ring walk.<\/p>\n And the spectacle in the ring more than matched the build-up with neither boxer willing to give any quarter.<\/p>\n 5<\/p>\n Eubank sported a huge cut above his right eye after the fightCredit: Reuters 5<\/p>\n![\"Chris](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2025-chris-eubank-jr-celebrates-990144887.jpg\")
