BOXING Conor Benn wants to emulate his father Nigel and win the WBC title after his convincing victory over Chris Eubank Jr.

A performance full of composure, skill and discipline helped the younger Benn triumph over Eubank Jr in a one-sided rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

It ended a long wait for a victory for the Benn family in a rivalry that began with Nigel's first fight against Chris Eubank Sr in 1990. But the 29-year-old has no immediate interest in a third bout.
