Chris Eubank Jr defeats Conor Benn in a closely contested boxing match, handing Benn his first professional loss. Get the highlights.

British boxer Chris Eubank Jr has been discharged from hospital after being admitted as a precautionary measure following his intense bout against Conor Benn. Eubank Jr secured a unanimous decision victory in the highly anticipated match, which took place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Eubank Jr's promoter, Ben Shalom, disputed claims that Eubank suffered a broken jaw, stating that his fighter was hospitalized for precautionary checks to ensure everything was in order.

The highly anticipated bout between Eubank Jr, 35, and Conor Benn, 28, marked a new chapter in the rivalry between their fathers. The fight was initially scheduled for 2022 but was canceled due to Benn's failed drug tests. Benn has consistently denied intentional doping and was later cleared to compete.

After securing the win, Eubank Jr took to social media to celebrate, saying: “Well it took nearly 3 years but we finally got the job done. Big shout out to everyone that supported the fight on Saturday & made it the once in a lifetime event that it was... without the fans none of this is possible, thank you.”

Chris Eubank Jr's ring walk was marked by a surprise appearance alongside his father, Chris Eubank Sr, adding intrigue to their reportedly strained relationship, which was a notable subplot in the bout. Eubank Sr had previously criticized their estrangement.

The judges' scorecards revealed a closely contested fight, with all three scoring 116-112 in favor of Eubank Jr. Despite a hard-fought battle, neither fighter managed to land a decisive blow. The victory marked Conor Benn's first professional defeat.

The bout was a modern-day clash of boxing legacies, with Eubank Jr following in the footsteps of his father, who defeated Nigel Benn, Conor's father, in a world middleweight title fight in 1990. The rivalry continued with a draw in their rematch three years later.
