Chris Eubank Jr’s Best Victories as Conor Benn Rematch Looms Large

Come November 15th, the eyes of the sporting universe will lock back onto Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as British rivals Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn do battle once again. Their initial encounter back in April was more than a simple boxing match: It was the extension of one of the all-time great rivalries between messers Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, two heroes of British boxing who twice did battle themselves in the 1990s. 

In 2025, their two sons did battle, and they somehow lived up to the hype of the storied family rivalry. In a back-and-forth affair that swung one way then the next, Eubank Jr did what the greats do: finding solutions amid chaos, improvising when plans unraveled, standing firm as jaws broke and hearts nearly did too. With the fight finely poised at its midway point, Junior bit down on his gumshield, standing and banging, piling the pressure on the smaller Benn throughout the championship rounds to secure a narrow but deserved unanimous decision. 

But such was the thrilling nature and commercial success of the first fight that the two have penned a deal to clash in a rematch this November, and online boxing betting sites once again consider the fight too close to call. The latest boxing betting at Bovada odds currently list Eubank Jr as a narrow 1.57 favorite to secure another victory, with Benn a live 2.37 underdog to spring the shock. With the fight fast approaching, let’s take a look at Eubank Jr’s finest victories throughout his storied career thus far, and whether another could be on the cards in a few weeks. 

The Rivalry Renewed

Some rivalries exist as background noise, while others define eras. Eubank Jr vs. Benn—the sons, not just the sequels—belongs squarely in the latter. The magnitude was off the charts. Across media calls and weigh-ins, the tension was palpable. Eubank Jr.’s missing weight became front-page news, while his slapping his younger rival with an egg at a promotional press conference added a spark to a saga already soaked in fuel. All the talk had many of the sold-out crowd expecting a dud of a fight that couldn’t possibly live up to the billing, but they were about to be proven wrong.

For twelve rounds, the two rivals traded hell for leather in a bid to leave North London with the bragging rights. The punch stats told of a 50-50 shootout, but those numbers couldn’t quite convey the sense that Eubank Jr was operating with an extra ounce of tactical maturity. Switching rhythms, outmaneuvering Benn when it mattered most, and doubling down on bodywork as the minutes ran out—these were the trump cards. The championship rounds proved to be the difference makers, with the wily old veteran Eubank standing and trading in the pocket, delivering power shots that Benn simply could not reply to. 

The aftermath? A deserved unanimous decision for Eubank Jr in a clash that shattered PPV expectations. Now, the two will face off again, and a second victory would cement his legacy once and for all, as well as potentially set him on a collision course with the money-spinning Canelo Alvarez. For Benn, victory means redemption, and a third and final rubber match could loom large. 

Dismantling a Great 

Every resume needs a signature win for substance. For Eubank Jr, the July 2017 outclassing of Arthur Abraham was precisely that—a boxing clinic and an object lesson for skeptics. The Armenian-born German was one of the longest reigning super middleweight champions of all time, and a year on from dropping his WBO title to Gilberto Ramírez, he was aiming to catapult himself back into title contention. 

His British opponent, meanwhile, was still rising through the ranks, already a big name courtesy of his father but yet to truly notch a signature victory. On this night in London, however, that statement triumph would come, and it would do so in dominant fashion. 

What followed the opening bell was a tactical dismantling. From the very first round, Eubank Jr peppered away with his metronomic jab, orchestrating angles and gassing Abraham out. The former champion never looked like landing a decent shot, let alone winning the fight, with the stats leaping to Eubank Jr’s defense: 278 power shots to Abraham’s paltry 93. 

The scorecards were a formality, the margins (120-108, 118-110 twice) as wide as Wembley’s famous arch. The win earned Eubank Jr his entry into the World Boxing Super Series and the respect of the famously grizzled Roy Jones Jr, who’d join his camp to sharpen him further for global battle.

Welcome to Hell

Hostile territory begets spectacle. Facing Avni Yildirim in October 2017, Eubank found himself in Stuttgart, a modern gladiator amid banners declaring “Welcome to Hell” and a venomous home crowd howling their contempt. What followed was more than a survival tale; it was a lesson in silencing the critics when under siege.

The Turk was unbeaten at the time, but it was clear from the outset that Eubank would prove too hot to handle. He dictated exchanges from the very start, finding openings and neutralizing Yildirim’s power before detonating a breathtaking third-round knockout. The left hook—timed, savage, unanswerable—sucked the air from the arena and catapulted him deeper into the WBSS, evidence that the pressure pot brings out his best, not his worst.
