At the conclusion of the 12 rounds, it was Eubank who was given a unanimous points decision to leave Benn devastated but humble in defeat. Both men were subsequently taken to the hospital as a precaution after what had been a brutal 36 minutes of non-stop action.

The rivalry between Benn and Eubank dates back to a pair of fights between their fathers in the 1990s. Eubank Sr. knocked out Nigel Benn in the first meeting before the pair battled to a draw in the rematch in a rivalry that did big domestic business in the United Kingdom.

Chris Eubank Jr has been discharged from hospital after emerging victorious from his slugfest with fierce rival Conor Benn on Saturday night. Eubank Jr dealt Benn his first defeat of his professional career with a unanimous decision win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with all three judges scoring the contest 116-112 after a 12-round war.
