Despite the size difference, Benn came out fearlessly in the opening rounds, using angles and footwork to avoid Eubank's jab and unloading with winging power shots that connected behind a quick jab. In the third round, Benn landed a heavy left that left Eubank with no option but to clinch and recover.

After 12 exhaustive, thrilling, and brutal rounds, Chris Eubank Jnr won the grudge match of the year, defeating bitter rival Conor Benn on points.
