Nottingham Post
|May 02, 2025
CHRIS Eubank Jr says he underwent eye surgery following his gruelling points victory over bitter rival Conor Benn after being "headbutted".
Eubank spent two nights in hospital following his victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening, with his promoter Ben Shalom rejecting Benn's claims the 35-year-old had suffered a broken jaw.
Shalom said Eubank had gone to hospital for "precautionary checks", but the fighter has now revealed he had surgery on a damaged eye.
"When you get into a fight for 12 rounds, there are injuries that are sustained," Eubank told Sky Sports.
"I got headbutted above my eye around the middle of the fight. It opened up and I had to go and have surgery on that to sew it up.
"Conor Benn and (promoter) Eddie Hearn ran away with the story of a broken jaw.
"There's no broken jaw here. We are strong. Our bones are dense.
