Eubank puts career on the line in blockbuster rematch with Benn
The London Standard
|November 13, 2025
He won a thriller in April, but lose this time and he may be staring retirement in the face.
After 12 brutal rounds shared in the ring, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn were back at close quarters at the Royal London Hospital later that night.
The pair were two beds down from each other, undergoing checks after a brutal fight over the distance in April. Eubank took victory but the fight had taken plenty out of both.
It was only as the medication kicked in that Benn could see father Nigel at the foot of his bed and that Chris Eubank Sr was holding his hand.
"Why do we do this?" asked Eubank Sr. His son was not discharged for two days and only recently did Eubank share a picture from that hospital room, still attached to a drip and with his face badly swollen.
Just as their fathers did, Eubank and Benn will step between the ropes for a second time on Saturday night, back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Labour plotters could 'try to oust Starmer after the Budget'
“Letting it be known that the Prime Minister would fight any challenge to his leadership rather than going quietly may well have been designed to shore up Sir Keir Starmer’s position, by reminding Labour MPs of the costs — political and economic — of opening up that can of worms,\" writes Henry Zeffman.
