Chris Eubank Jr reuniting with father ‘worth its weight in gold'
CHRIS EUBANK JR reuniting with his father was 'worth its weight in gold', a sporting Conor Benn said following his painful defeat in their middleweight bout. Eubank Jr settled his public dispute with his father, who attended the 35-year-old's 12-round middleweight clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Despite branding his son a 'disgrace' for a February egg-slap on Benn and not speaking to him in 'years', the pair were together as Chris Jr upheld the Eubank family name over the Benns with victory by a unanimous decision. Conor Benn, whose father Nigel lost to and drew with Eubank Sr in the 1990s, showed grace in defeat at the post-fight press conference. 'I looked at Chris Sr, I grabbed him by the neck and I said, 'Mate, I'm so happy that you're here',' the 28-year-old said. 'Because aside from everything else, all the noise, the promotion and the fight, your relationship with your dad never goes, that's always there, it's long-standing. Advertisement 'If this has brought those two together, then it's worth its weight in gold.' The Eubanks arrive in style 🔥#EubankBenn | Tonight | Live on Sky Sports Box Office 📲 Watch here: — Sky Sports Boxing (@SkySportsBoxing) April 26, 2025 The rivalry between the sons spanned two and a half years after their first fight in 2022, which was cancelled following two failed drug tests by Benn, sparking a war of words. Nigel Benn, by Conor's side in the build-up to Saturday's bout and in his corner on fight night, hoped his son would avenge his own loss to Eubank Sr. The younger Benn admitted after the defeat: 'It's hurt me, no-one likes to lose, whether it was a close fight or not, it's not good enough for me. 'Winning the heart of the public is not enough, I want to win. I made sacrifices which were hard to make and I need to do better.' Victorious Eubank Jr said after the bout: 'The fact that our fathers did what they did all those years ago, it brings out another soul and spirit – and that's what we both showed tonight.' He did not attend the press conference after visiting hospital for checks, although a statement by promoter Boxxer released on Sunday allayed any fears about his health. It read: 'Chris is doing well and currently resting. There is no truth to the rumours regarding a broken jaw. 'As part of his standard post-fight protocol, Chris went to hospital for precautionary checks to monitor his vitals and ensure everything is in order. 'They take these measures very seriously, given everything they have experienced in the past. 'This process is something they now prioritise after every fight. 'Chris and Conor gave absolutely everything in what was the biggest legacy fight of all time. With their fathers standing proudly behind them, it was a moment that will forever be stamped in sporting history.' There is a chance the pair may fight again, after the fighters agreed to an optional rematch clause before the bout.

Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn: All you need to know ahead of the fight
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will finally meet in the ring tonight for one of the most vicious rivalries in boxing. 30 years on from their fathers sharing one of the most compelling chapters in British sport, the sons will follow in their footsteps and carry on the family war. Eubank Jr and Benn were originally set to meet in October 2022 until it emerged the latter had failed two drug tests just days out from the opening bell, forcing it to be scrapped. The bitter rivalry has grown since, with a chaotic press conference illustrating the genuine resentment that has consumed both camps. Security pulled the two men apart after Eubank Jr slapped his rival with an egg during their face-off with his father Nigel and promoter Eddie Hearn also in the thick of it. So, with plenty more fireworks to come, here is everything you need to know about the fight – including the start time, undercard and how to watch live in the UK. Eubank Jr vs Benn takes place tonight, Saturday 26 April at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Fans can expect the main event to get underway from 10pm onwards. Tottenham's home ground has previously hosted two huge nights of boxing – Tyson Fury's win over Derek Chisora in December 2022 and the first meeting between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk in 2021. On both occasions, ringwalks for the main event began at around 10pm. There's a stacked undercard with former world title challenger Anthony Yarde facing Lyndon Arthur for the third time while Liam Smith, who has a win and a defeat against Eubank on his record, returns to face Aaron McKenna. Former WBO cruiserweight champion Chris Billiam-Smith is in action against Brandon Glanton with Viddal Riley and Cheavon Clarke squaring off in a thrilling domestic clash at the same weight. Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn (middleweight) Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur (light-heavyweight) Liam Smith vs Aaron McKenna (middleweight) Chris Billiam-Smith vs Brandon Glanton (cruiserweight) Viddal Riley vs Cheavon Clarke (cruiserweight) Eubank Jr vs Benn is available to order on DAZN PPV and Sky Sports Box Office. The weight limit for the fight has been a contentious issue since it was first discussed nearly four years ago. Benn boxes at welterweight (147lbs) with Eubank Jr operating two divisions higher at middleweight (160lbs). More Trending In 2022, a catchweight of 157lbs was agreed – a decision that infuriated Chris Eubank Snr who called for the fight to be scrapped. This time, Eubank Jnr and his team have got their way with April's fight to be contested at 160lbs. Tickets went on sale in February but the bout is now a sell-out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
