Conor Benn takes down Chris Eubank Jr. twice and gets revenge in rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium | Boxing News

Conor Benn dominated Chris Eubank Jr. to win their rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Benn added one final spark to a controlled performance, sending Eubank to the canvas twice in the 12th and final rounds.

They ended their rivalry with a unanimous decision victory, winning 119-107, 118-108, and 116-110.

Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn have developed a unique rivalry, following in the footsteps of their famous fathers, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr., who ignited British boxing in the 1990s.

Animosity worsened between Connor Benn and Eubank Jr. The first fight, originally scheduled for 2022, was canceled after Ben counterattacked with an anti-doping violation.

When Benn’s suspension in England was lifted and the match was set for April this year, Eubank slapped Ben with an egg to push him further.

Eubank’s relationship with his father had publicly broken down, but after reconciling in private, the senior made a surprise appearance at the first fight, joining his son in the iconic ring walk.

Eubank won on points in the first round, Benn was looking for revenge, and Eubank was hoping for an even more convincing victory in the second round.

Eubank, who had struggled with weight and hydration for his previous fight, appeared to be in good shape for this rematch, but his boxing became increasingly flat and fatigued as the rounds progressed.

He didn’t panic in the first round, experimenting with jabs, hitting right crosses, moving from side to side.

However, in the second round, Benn unnerved him with left-right combinations, and Eubank pushed Benn down to fight him off.

Benn sliced ​​through Eubank with a hook and then landed a sharp left that caught Eubank in the jaw.

The little man succeeded and went upstairs, and a one-two flew into his head. Ben felt relaxed and attacked from the center of the ring.

Benn’s work became more and more secure as he began to land with regularity, which must have alarmed Eubank.

But Eubank Jr. couldn’t find the intensity he had in his first match. Ben loaded up with bullets and withstood a ton of hits.

In the seventh round, he landed a huge one-two on Eubank’s jaw, causing him to turn away. Eubank fought back, but Benn finished the round smiling and taunting his opponent.

Eubank needed more urgency in the eighth round as Benn threw vicious punches, Cross’s arrow stuck in Eubank’s stomach, and his jab scored high.

Once again Benn was rocking him with a one-two and Eubank had to hold Benn down in the clinch to stop the attack.

In the final 30 seconds, Eubank managed to get on his front foot. He put himself in the line of fire and hit a right cross to Ben.

Even in the final stages of the match, Ben remained in shape and continued boxing dynamically. Eubank matched him with long shots and wing punches.

Benn hits a one-two and Eubank hits an over right to keep Benn away.

In the final round, Eubank, who appeared to be far behind on the card, forced himself to get on his front foot and swing. He needed to come up with an incredible punch from somewhere. But it was Ben who found it.

A hard right from Benn catches him and Eubank chops a backhand of his own. The pace slackened again until Benn suddenly caught Eubank.

That ignited the fight. A hard blow shook Eubank, causing him to stumble and fall. Then Ben goes after him with a wild hook as the stadium explodes around them as they finally get the moment they’ve been waiting for.

Benn’s right straight hit hard and he hacked a backhand, causing Eubank to fall for the second time.

Eubank survived the fight, but Benn secured a clear decision.

“This is it.”

Their rivalry should be over now. “It’s been a long journey, but I feel like this is the end of Ben and Eubank’s story. It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over,” Ben said afterward.

“If it wasn’t for Chris and our fathers, none of this would have happened. This is a generational issue. This is history. It’s a credit to Chris. That’s all I have to say.”

“Not bad for two silver spoon kids.”

An introspective Eubank Jr. said: “We’ve been through hell a lot to get to this night and this is what it is.”

“I listened as best I could, the kid fought hard. He fought tough. He’s got power. This kid was bigger than me on the scale. I don’t know how he did it.”

“We put on a show and Conor Benn was best man tonight.”

Undercard action

Chorley’s Jack Catterall won an all-action showdown with Echo Essman. The onslaught of Nottingham’s welterweights forced the languid southpaw to pick up the pace. But Catterall found his punching mark early, and the southpaw’s left with a lead hook in the fourth round knocked Esman onto his back.

But Essman, with his great heart and incredible conditioning, fought back fiercely. He managed to evade Catterall and opened up a bad cut next to the southpaw’s eye with a right hand. Essman was also able to tie Catterall to the ropes.

But in the 11th round, Catelar knocked Esman down when the referee called for a break, sending his opponent flying into the ropes in the first 50 seconds for a brutal knockout finish.

Adam Azim added another stoppage victory to his undefeated professional career. He dominated substitute Kurt Scobee in the first half of the fight, jabbing eagerly and sinking strangely powerful hooks to the body.

He put in more work in the second half, stepping up to the point of taking home uppercuts and more hooks. After repeated warnings, referee Howard Foster took the point away from Scobee.

In the final round, Azim went through his repertoire, landing head shots and rocking Scobie with a left hook. Under pressure, the American fell to his knees and was slow to react to another left hook.

The referee decided there was no need to prolong the suffering and stopped the match at 2 minutes and 1 second into the final round.

Richard Liakpore, a London resident, was a cruiserweight slugger. He took his power to heavyweight. His right hand was too much for Tommy Welch to handle.

The Brighton man charged at Welch at the opening bell, but Liakpohe slammed Welch to the canvas three times in the second round, handing Welch his first loss as a professional.

Ishmael Davies defeated Sam Gilley with a unanimous decision victory after 12 rounds, earning Davies the British and Commonwealth Super Welterweight Championship.

Joe Gallagher’s protégé, Mikie Tallon, started the fight, defeating Fezzan Shahid with an incredible uppercut in the sixth round.
