Round-by-Round: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn II | PPV - 15 November 2025

[Twinkle Toes]

Eubank shot to bits, this the Eubank they expected in the first fight.

And so the Benn roller coaster go's on.

[MasterG]

Sat in the office at work now, it's a cold dark Sunday morning and I've had about 5 and half hours sleep. Having a brew of green tea and just read through the replies from last night.

From the start it was clear Jr was weight drained. I think everyone knew that behind the scenes and Eubank was advised to go through the motions, knowing Benn can't punch his way through a cloud. Stay out of his way and move around for 12 rounds and keep safe. Get beaten on points and take that massive paycheck and stay humble at the end.

Now what I noticed is that Bellew knew shit, and the crowd turned tides last night and crowned a new king. The king is dead, long live the king!

Boxing is a funny old game and villains can be made a hero at the blink of an eye ball. Conor Benn is the golden goose. He is going to reshape boxing and has now become the new people's champion, and cast aside Frank Bruno's reign on that one.

What I also noticed is that Eubank Sr wasn't given mic time after the fight, strange that one? It was ok to bring in Daddy Benn along with his Mrs, well I guess Conor did climb a mountain last night and took on a world class athlete twice the size of him and slayed the giant.

Eubank Sr has always been vocal surrounding the rehydration clause, and rightly so, yes after last night I can understand his concerns, but we never heard him after the fight. During the fight he was seen at times around the apron, but unconcerned. Is that what a concerned father does when he's been very vocal about the dangers of the rehydration clause? Watch his son take shots, losing every round and possibly gas out very late on and take the canvas? I found that odd.

Anyway, apart from Jason Stathans pull, who was sat bored throughout and wished she was in Stringfellows, it actually wasn't a bad card over all. We certainly saw Welch limitations as a heavyweight.

Moving on? I think Eubank will fight on, at his natural size, but 2 times putting his body through madness, I think he's physically done now.

As for Benn, well, he's now the best thing since the wheel, and boy are we going to listen to that for a while.

I'm no body language expert, but if I were to guess which ringside celebrity would soon be an eligible bachelor, Statham would be my first pick

They've been together for 15 years with kids, he always takes her to fights. Think they'll survive this boring night out

[Bigdogsnose]

Feel bad for any silly fcukers who paid to watch that, either at the stadium or ppv. These two bell ends have conned ppl for what seems like about 5 years now.

Hopefully benn drops dowm to WW and gets his arse handed to him by a proper boxer.

Eubank is basically a whore now. Absolute cheap talk of pride, being a warrior and yet if MVP offered him the millions to take a jake paul beating he'd happily take it.

Boxing is mostly god awful now.

[rd350lc]

Not sure what you're getting at with the morality of it all. Boxing as a whole really isn't especially moral in a lot of ways at its core, but there was nothing inherently unfair about anything about Eubank vs Benn 2.

The weight might be an excuse, but I think the damage that Benn did to Eubank in that 1st bout had a lot to do with the performance we got from Eubank tonight as well.

I don't think Eubank took the kinda punishment anyone needs to be having any ethical dilemmas about. I'd imagine there are other people on the card that came out just as bad or worse.

Poor old Essuman for one, hope the fella is OK.

[garethhop]

MasterG's take is spot on sadly.

Donald Mcrae did a great piece in the Guardian yesterday.

Brilliant analysis

[smiling assassin]

I was shocked at just how weak Eubank was. He was getting thrown around on the inside and walked back in the clinch like man against boy, there was also nothing in his punches. At one point early on Benn threw him to the floor and he struggled to get to his feet, He looked completely drained.

Benn needs to go back to WW to keep the farce rolling because if he goes to 154 he gets mullered by anyone in the top 10.

I can’t give Benn credit for last night if anything I think it looks bad that he didn’t manage to get Eubank out of there by the halfway stage

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bloody celebs got more airtime that some fighters.

Comms kept getting boners over the same celebs they were showing after each fight/round.

[JC]

Didn’t buy this one so have only seen the highlights. Ironically, looked a bit like CEJ’s win vs DeGale.

[Glass Joe]

You could tell from the post fight presser and him telling Shalom to be quiet he shouldnt have been in the ring. Hearn would probably want a 3rd and he knows Benn will probably lose to anyone good.

[Ruthless-RKO]

He kept saying personal issues he’s been dealing with.

Is that him just saying this?

Did he mention these in the pressers before the fight?

Wonder what it could be.

CHRIS EUBANK JR. ADMITS HE KNEW IN FIRST ROUND HE WOULDN'T BEAT CONOR BENN

Chris Eubank Jr. admitted that as soon as the first round of his rematch defeat to Conor Benn, he knew he wouldn't be able to win the fight.

Eubank (35-4, 25 KOs) looked like a shell of the fighter that beat Benn by unanimous decision in a Fight of the Year contender back in April, losing by the same result but wider on the cards this time around.

Benn (24-1, 14 KOs) utilised his jab and quick one-twos to keep Eubank on the back foot all night and in the final round he scored two hurtful knockdowns to rubber stamp his victory.

Eubank congratulated his generational rival in the aftermath but said even making it to the rematch was a journey in itself, and that after the first round, he felt like he couldn't win.

"I've been through hell and back to make it here today," he said at the post-fight press conference.

"I genuinely thought that regardless of the issues that I've been dealing with, I would be able to go in there and win, use my boxing skills, use what you guys saw in that first fight to beat Conor Benn. From that first round, I realised that I was mistaken, but it's okay, I'm a fighter, this is what I do.

"I tried my best. Conor Benn put on a hell of a fight. He had a great performance. He did everything that was asked of him, and I congratulate him for his performance."

Eubank was asked what he meant about going 'through hell and back', but he refused to be drawn on the questioning, electing to heap more praise on Benn, who will now look to move back down to welterweight.

"No, this is not about me," he added. "This is about, this night's about Conor. He did what he needed to do to win. He fought a great fight, and I'm not here to talk about me. He is a tough man. He's a great fighter, and I respect him."

Regarding his admission that in the first round he wasn't feeling himself, Eubank said it was obvious he wasn't the same fighter who won the first fight.

"You guys saw," the 36-year-old said. "You guys saw what I was in there tonight. Yeah, I thought that once those bright lights hit I'd find something, and I tried. I tried hard, but it wasn't there, and Conor was strong, and he was fast, and he was tough.

"You share a ring with a man for 24 rounds now, of course you have that respect for him."

It remains to be seen what Eubank does with his future, as potential fights with Canelo Alvarez and Hamzah Sheeraz look off the cards. He announced on Tuesday that he and his partner were expecting twin boys and there will be calls for him to retire from the sport.

"I'm not really in the state of mind to be thinking about next fights, I need to heal," he said.

"I need to deal with what I'm dealing with, and then after that I can start thinking about my path in the sport."

[big lennox]

A total farce. That's a hollow a victory as I can remember. The weight restriction clause was shameful and extremely dangerous, by the looks of it.

Benn looked much bigger than a welterweight last night. Very big back. Must have trained extremely hard for it.

It's difficult to know how good Benn is. Would like to see him in with someone that isn't hamstrung by a weight restriction clause.

[MasterG]

Just watched a bit of the post fight prezza. As soon as Benn began to talk I turned it off.

Strange that again Eubank is the only one with the mic, no daddy?

There is something a miss, definitely. There is something not right behind the scenes, why not allow daddy to accompany you to a prezza, after all this was a 'family pride' fight after all.

Nah, you can't kid a kidder. The build up for me was tainted, there would have been negative vibrations, but money talks. Eubank saying he knew he was shot after the first round told me all I need to know. If Benn had a punch, there would have not been a fight last night. Eubank took the pay and did all he could to stay out of trouble. He was lucky he got away with it, he could have been seriously hurt last night, but when there are big bucks on the table, and let's not forget, bills had to be paid, 50 Cent can't have been cheap to hire? I'm guessing Jr has a few law suits to deal with too, after all he's been spouting accusations about this that and the other.

One other thing got me last night too. This is all incidentally but Tyson Fury wasn't there, or at least not in the cameras eye for a change. What a missed opportunity for him to sit next to that old lass from Coronation Street (Rita Sullivan) who looked a lot like Rod Stuart.

Hahaha brilliant

[SeanBrennan]

Eubank looked so drained and was very humble in defeat. Very classy

Benn and his team must know Eubank wasn’t right in this fight. Benn looks in great shape and fought a good fight but in reality I think Eubank would’ve lost to any half decent opponent last night, he looked awful. Benn can claim the victory and say it’s because he hurt Eubank early and his gameplay was spot on but deep down he must be aware Eubank wasn’t 50% of the fighter he was in the first fight.

Of course they knew.. they would have know especially after a couple of rounds even. Eubank just wasn’t there. Bellew saying he’s a better fighter than a boxer is true, but even when he was fighting, he was pulling his punches. There was no power in any shots he threw.

Yeah I meant in terms of the credit he’s taking, I doubt they will publicly admit Eubank wasn’t at the races, Benn said he hurt Eubank early and he never recovered. Maybe he actually believes that.

They won’t acknowledge anything that will take away from their win.

For them, a wins a win. Thats what they’ll ride on now.

[keithmoonhangover]

From what Eubank said and didn't say in the post fight presser, he had issues in the build up to the fight. I think his mental health is on the floor and he's depressed off his arse. Physically he was ready, mentally he was not.

[handsofstone]

While I don't doubt Eubank's weight cut was a factor I'm sick of everyone banging on about it, he signed the contract, made far more cash than his talent or achievements deserved, he got this opportunity because of who his dad is, not because he's a former British champion or fought Groves for a world title, he got it because he's Chris Eubank's son so he made some concessions as did Benn, nobody made him sign the contract, we've seen Jr walk away from many a deal, it wasn't that when he was fighting the corpses of Abraham and DeGale, he loves to play the victim but he's fooling a lot of people, same with the Dad, another grade A bullshit artist
