Benn, 28, was undone by Eubank Jr during the 12-round slugfest by the judges' scores.
All three gave the fight to his rival by the scores of 116-112.
He has now dipped into some of his cash from the mega payday.
Benn is believed to have forked out £280,000 on the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
He picked up the luxury vehicle from the manufacturer's Mayfair showroom with his wife Victoria.
The former two-division world champion picked out a car with a striking white paint job.
It also came with a customised interior with orange-coloured upholstery.
There was also a traditional manufacturer's umbrella included.
There was also a subtle nod to Benn as the car's new owner as the in-built screen read: "Welcome THE DESTROYER".
Benn celebrated the purchase with a kiss with Victoria in the showroom.

He shared the pictures on his Instagram account with the caption: "Fat Boy Money."
The full cost of the car is not known, but a second-hand Cullinan from 2023 retails at £284,950.
Benn also showed off his "Not Guilty" necklace as he picked up the car.
The £100,000 item of jewellery is a statement from Benn following his ban from boxing in 2022.
Meanwhile, Benn had only just got back from Miami, USA where he went to watch the F1.
He was spoken to by Sky Sports reporter Martin Brundle and strangely congratulated for his loss to Eubank Jr.

Romeo Beckham's ex Kim Turnbull breaks silence on Brooklyn feud and 'scapegoat lies'
Kim Turnbull has released a statement on social media after she was dragged into the ongoing Beckham family feud and she was said to have dated Brooklyn before he met Nicola Romeo Beckham's former flame Kim Turnbull has finally broken silence on her alleged romance with Brooklyn amid the ongoing family rift. Kim is reportedly at the centre of the feud that has seen Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz become distant from the rest of the clan. The 26-year-old model and DJ is rumoured to have been involved with Brooklyn prior to meeting billionaire heiress Nicola, 30, as they used to be pals. After enduring weeks of speculation concerning her past with Brooklyn, Kim declared she was "embarrassed by the lies" and felt compelled to break her silence. As Romeo's alleged partner, Kim was a fixture in the Beckham's close-knit circle, reports the Mirror, even attending David's 50th birthday bash which Brooklyn and Nicola notably skipped. This month however marked the end of Romeo and Kim's contentious relationship. In a bold move, Kim addressed the family turmoil that has overshadowed the news of David's knighthood this weekend, as his eldest son remains aloof from the celebration. Kim took to Instagram to voice her frustration: "I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on." She added firmly: "I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative." Addressing speculation about a romantic link with Brooklyn, Kim stated: "I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. "I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved." Kim was recently thrust into the limelight amid rumours surrounding the Beckham family, with rumours suggesting Brooklyn had swirling doubts over her intentions towards his brother Romeo. Rumours had circulated that Brooklyn and Kim shared a teenage romance, yet Cruz Beckham refuted these claims in a recently removed Instagram post, followed now by Kim's own denial. The gossip mill began after Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were notably absent from David's 50th birthday celebrations last month, leading to conversations that Brooklyn believed his parents favoured Romeo, drawing Kim into the controversy. Reportedly after seven months, Kim's liaison with Romeo waned three weeks subsequent to David reaching his milestone birthday. Kim's decisive words come following Brooklyn's pointed omission of his father on Father's Day. The newly knighted David honoured his offspring, Romeo, Cruz and Harper with an affectionate social media post, which seemed to allude to strained relations with Brooklyn. Captioning the photo, he remarked: "My most important and favourite job in life is being a dad... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what.. "Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad... Happy Father's Day... I love you kiddies more than you could imagine." He also posted a picture with Brooklyn, enjoying a glass of red wine, captioned: "I love you @brooklynpeltzbeckham." However, Brooklyn did not acknowledge his father on this special day, maintaining his silence. Nicola also omitted any mention of her father-in-law but did honour her own dad. On Instagram, alongside a photo with her father, she penned: "Happy Father's Day to the greatest dad in the world. I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support. I love you beyond words. Happy Father's Day dad."

Lily Allen seen snogging TV's James Norton during ‘first date' at festival leaving onlookers stunned
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CLEAN-living Lily Allen steers clear of drink and drugs these days — so she was on her best behaviour for Lido Festival at the weekend. But she still found her own kind of high once the event finished, by snogging actor James Norton backstage. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Lily Allen was seen snogging TV's James Norton during their 'first date' at a festival Credit: Eroteme 5 The singer had spent time with the Happy Valley star at the festival in East London's Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon Credit: Eroteme I told yesterday how the singer had spent time with the Happy Valley star at the festival in East London's Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon, where they watched Charli XCX's headline set together. Now I have learned that they were in the mood to celebrate and headed to a backstage compound after the show, where Charli and other pals let their hair down. It doesn't sound like they had eyes for anyone else, though. One onlooker told me: 'James and Lily looked very into each other and they were snogging backstage. 'We were all quite surprised to see them there together, let alone kissing. 'I don't think they've even known each other that long, but it was a fun hang-out backstage and they got taken away by the vibe.' Meanwhile, Paul Mescal and Harris Dickinson, who will play Paul McCartney and John Lennon in the upcoming Beatles biopics, were also at the post-show party. And while Lily — who is believed to have met James on celebrity dating app Raya — stuck to the zero per cent beers, not everyone did. One fellow partygoer told me that a famous face, whose blushes I will spare here, took things way too far and ended up vomiting in front of several guests. Later on, Lily headed home riding a Lime bike, with her journey captured on Instagram by Saltburn actor Archie Madekwe. Lily Allen reveals secret boob job after split with Stranger Things star David Harbour - and surgery she wants done next Lily being in good spirits again is nice to see, because she has not had an easy time of it. The actress and singer, who splits her time between the UK and New York, broke up with her husband, Stranger Things actor David Harbour, at the end of last year. But last week on her Miss Me podcast, she said: 'I think I'm sort of turning a corner. 'I'm being much more active. I'm out and about and doing stuff.' Good for her. 5 Lily and James pictured buying non-alcoholic beers at the bar Credit: Eroteme 5 They were spotted together at the Lido Festival in East London Credit: Eroteme

Joey Chestnut will make his grand return to Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest this summer after last year's ban
It's not summer in NYC without Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, which will return to Coney Island for another snappy session of competitive gorging on Friday, July 4 at Nathan's Flagship restaurant (1310 Surf Ave.) on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues. And it's simply not the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest without Joey Chestnut, the famed competitive eater who has taken the title at the annual culinary contest a whopping 16 times. And after a controversial year away from the contest, the frankfurter king will officially try to reclaim his throne this summer. Though the Kentucky native has been a faithful fixture of the Brooklyn-based eating competition for years — he won consecutively from 2007 to 2014 and again from 2016 to 2023 — Chestnut was barred from participating in the 2024 edition of the annual contest due to a competing sponsorship with plant-based food company Impossible Foods, a rival to Nathan's Famous. However, per the New York Post, negotiations have seemingly been in place these last few weeks to have Chestnut makes his grand return to the fan-favorite Nathan's event. And the champ himself revealed that those talks were successful: 'I'm thrilled to be returning to the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest. This event means the world to me. It's a cherished tradition, a celebration of American culture, and a huge part of my life,' Chestnut said in an official statement posted to his social media accounts on Monday, June 16. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joey Chestnut (@joeychestnut) 'While I have and continue to partner with a variety of companies, including some in the plant-based space, those relationships were never a conflict with my love for hot dogs. To be clear: Nathan's is the only hot dog company I've ever worked with,' the statement continued. 'I respect that there were differences in interpretation, but I'm grateful we've been able to find common ground. I'm excited to be back on the Coney Island stage, doing what I live to do, and celebrating the Fourth of July with hot dogs in my hands!' Outside of last year's victor Patrick Bertoletti — who beat 13 challengers by wolfing down 58 full hot dogs, buns and all, in only 10 minutes — the rest of Nathan's 2025 competitors haven't been announced just yet, but having Joey Chestnut back on the frank-scarfing lineup will surely bring extra attention to the summertime ceremonies. Chestnut holds the all-time men's record for eating the most hot dogs in a 10-minute timeframe: an insane 76 franks in 2021, one more than his 2020 record. Who knows how many tubers he'll clear this year!
