Benn comfortably wins on points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Chris Eubank Jr v Conor Benn 2 RECAP - Benn comfortably wins on points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

TNT Sports

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will fight for the second time as their feud continues at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London on Saturday evening. The two fighters first clashed in April 2025, and it was Eubank who carried the night. Both fighters have been talking up the clash with the bitter rivalry set to be renewed to headline a massive card.

Benn dominates Eubank to end second-generation rivalry

Conor Benn dominated Chris Eubank Jr in the ring, knocking him down twice in the final round en route to winning a wide points decision.

Benn was awarded the fight clearly on all three scorecards: 119-107, 116-110 and 118-108.

From the first round Benn took control of the centre of the ring with his jab far more potent than it was in the first round.

Eubank, who came to the ring in a mink coat accompanied by 50 Cent, looked a lackadaisical figure throughout the contest.

Other than the third, seventh and eighth, he did not just lose the rounds, he was dominated in them.

As the fight went on, Benn continually landed body shots which slowed his rival further.

The fight was petering out, with Eubank clearly not having enough energy to force a knockout, until the dramatic final round.

Benn landed a one-two with the right hand landing on Eubank's temple and saw him crash back onto the canvas. Eubank managed to tie Benn up afterwards but was punched in the side of the head and sent face first into the mat. Once more Eubank got up and the bell rang to at least spare him the humiliation of being stopped.

Afterwards Benn said he will move down two divisions to welterweight.

"Any of those yanks can get, any day of the week and twice on Sundays," Benn said referring to WBC champion Mario Barrios and Devin Haney.

Eubank hints at trouble in preparations for fight

Chris Eubank Jr paid tribute to his rival's performance but hinted his preparation for the fight contributed to a lacklustre performance.

"I have been through hell and back to get to this night and it is what it is," Eubank said.

"I tried my best, the kid fought hard and tough, he has got power.

"Conor Benn was the best man tonight. Congratulations to him."

'This is the end' - Benn

Conor Benn insists there will be no trilogy with Chris Eubank Jr.

"It has been some journey and I feel like this is the end of the Benn-Eubank saga," Benn said in the ring after the fight.

"It is done, finished, over. This ends here. Everyone said I can't box. How about that?

"It has gone quiet real quick. This wouldn't have been what it was without Chris and our dads. Credit to Chris."

Benn wins on points!

A wide points victory for Conor Benn. He wins on the scorecards 119-107, 116-110 and 118-108.

Eubank-Benn: Round 12

Benn lands a huge right hand which sees Eubank go down to the canvas and then though Eubank gets up he is set upon by Benn who lands a number of blows. Eubank holds on for dear life before Benn gets loose and with a blow to the side or back of the head sends Eubank face first into the canvas. He gets up again and the bell rings to save him.

Eubank-Benn: Round 11

Eubank lands a few good body shots but again Benn is in control for the vast majority of the round. Again Eubank is pushed to the canvas.

Eubank-Benn: Round 10

Benn keeps dominating the fight with his jab and he is driving in the punch now and following up with short rights. Blood is now coming from the nose of Eubank, who lands with a couple of good shots in the closing stages of the round but it is too litte, too late.

Eubank-Benn: Round 9

Eubank is trying to control the centre of the ring but he does not look to have the tank to fight for two, let alone three minutes of the round. The fight is fairly easy for Benn, with Eubank's shots predictable and the smaller fighter effortlessly getting in and out of range, landing plenty of straight shots to the body.

Eubank-Benn: Round 8

Benn dominates again, landing body shots early in the round and then Eubank spits out his gumshield when trapped in his corner for a few seconds break.The referee takes a shot from Eubank as they both refused to stop hitting and holding - earning a warning from the official. Eubank then bursts out with a couple of shots. Again it is Benn's round though.

Eubank-Benn: Round 7

A big punch from Benn with Eubank on the ropes earns a huge roar from the crowd. Eubank fired back with a couple of shots but there was no doubt that shot had an effect.

Eubank-Benn: Round 6

Even when Eubank lands there does not seem to be a great deal of sting in the punches. Eubank was pushed to the canvas which will feel a good moment for the smaller man. Eubank's feet look like they are in quicksand.

Eubank-Benn: Round 5

A left to the body from Benn seems to make Eubank quiver a little. This is far from the classic of the first fight and it is due to the lackadaisical nature of Eubanks's performance. He landed one right hand when Benn got in too close but other than that it was Benn's round again.

Eubank-Benn: Round 4

Benn was back in control of the fight. Landing his jab with regularity again and backing it up with right hands either to the body or upstairs. Eubank looks in a daze.

Eubank-Benn: Round 3

Eubank defending a bit better in this round. He takes a right uppercut after the referee called break which seemed to spur him into more attacking action. Eubank lands a three punch counter flurry and a strong left hook. Benn is pushed to the canvas once more. I think Eubank won that one.

Eubank-Benn: Round 2

Eubank takes a strong one-two in his own corner and then pushes Benn to the canvas. He also lands a good left upstairs then follows up with one to the body. Eubank is hardly landing a jab, while Benn is fairly comfortably. The round ends with Eubank taking another right hand in his corner.

Eubank-Benn: Round 1

Benn takes the centre of the ring and he lands the first good shot of the round a right to the body and then a short right hand. Eubank is more tentative but lands a good right hand himself. Benn is landing his jab better than he did in the first fight. He takes the round though Eubank was better as it went on.

Let's get ready to rumble

The words set off a roar around the arena. Benn is definitely the more popular fighter this time around.

His father has to take a back seat as the rapper sings Many Men (Death Wish).

He leaves the dressing room to Still Dre.

Benn comes out to Ready or Not

It morphs into In The Air tonight. He and his father dance to it by the band and then they walk to the ring accompanied by the drummers.

The big fight is next...

Here's my call. I think Eubank is near the end. He willed himself to keep going in the last fight and used his experience to get through and even win the last round. However, he was the fighter most hurt in that round. I don't think BoMac will make that much difference to a fighter at his stage of his career. Benn has the more upside from the last fight. He hurt Eubank last time, I think he stops him this time around.

Essuman up on his feet

After taking oxygen he is able to walk out of the ring under his own steam.

Catterall stops Essuman in Round 11

A controversial end. Essuman went to the canvas, seemingly with a slip, and then the referee called break. Catterall put him down with an uppercut and the referee waved that the knockdown did not count. The fight resumed and Catterall put down Essuman who rolled under the bottom ring rope and is currently being treated.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 10

Catterall controlling the fight with his jab more impressively than he has for a few rounds. Catterall goes out of the ring when Essuman pushes him against the ropes but he gets back in easily enough. It feels Catterall maybe took that round.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 9

Catterall lands a left hand that puts Essuman off balance. It may have been a slip or maybe a shot he didn't see with his closing eye. Essuman remains the busier fighter. He is not called the engine for nothing.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 8

Catterall throws Essuman to the floor as if to show he remains the dominant fighter but it is Essuman who is the busier. Essuman's right eye is almost closed so should be an easy target for a left hand around the guard. A close round but it feels Essuman deserves the benefit of the doubt due to his determination.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 7

Essuman is encouraged after opening up a cut on the edge of Catterall's right eye. Catterall responds with big right body shots but the Chorley fighter is perturbed by the cut and it only leads to Essuman going forward more and being more successful.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 6

Credit to Essuman who came out and maybe took the round with his busy work crowding Catterall. Catterall still landed the punch of the fight, a bruising left hook as Essuman came forward.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 5

This looks like a different Catterall. He comes out looking to finish the job. He is throwing a lot more leather and with dangerous intentions too. This is the best he has looked since that first fight against Jack Taylor. Credit to Essuman he shows ambition throwing a lot of shots as the round comes to an end.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 4

Wow! That was unexpected. A big left hand from Catterall sees Essuman crash to the canvas. A perfect combination of a long right hook, straight left sends Essuman down to the canvas. Catterall follows up with big shots which might have led to a stoppage had the round gone on longer.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 4

Catterall is walking Essuman onto shots and has been opened a cut on the bridge of his opponent's nose.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 3

Essuman really is struggling to get any shots off at all at present, with Caterall having his way with his southpaw jab while his movement gives his opponent nothing to throw at.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 2

Catterall edging the second with his jab, but there is not a great deal in the fight so far with little landing flush.

Catterall-Essuman: Round 1

A bit of a feeling out round, as is so often the case when a southpaw meets an orthodox fighter. No clear winner of it.

Chief Support Next...

Jack Catterall (31-2, 13 KOs) takes on Ekow Essuman (22-1, 8 KOs) in a welterweight contest, where the winner will eye a world title fight in 2026.

Azim stops Scoby in Round 12

Azim keeps the pace up and right hands again wilt Scoby, who on a couple of occasions, holds for a long time. A combination finishing with a left hook sees Scoby take a knee and though he gets up, a little unenthusiastically, the referee waves off the fight.

With the possible exception of Moses Itauma, there is no bigger talent in British boxing.

Azim-Scoby: Round 11

With a minute left in the round, a huge right hand from Azim sees Scoby twist beyond 90 degrees and wobble all over the place. He then uses his upper body strength to hold Azim for almost 20 seconds. Azim lands a few more big right hands before the bell saves him.

Azim-Scoby: Round 10

Rinse and repeat. Azim wins the round in the same manner as he has the last nine. He is six minutes from a shut-out win.

Azim-Scoby: Round 9

Azim still landing numerous shots. Scoby followed up a number of body shots with one which Azim felt was below the border. Scoby indicates the shots are not hurting him but 9-0 up it won't bother Azim.

Azim-Scoby: Round 8

The body shots are now taking their effect on Scoby as he takes gulps of air after them, allowing Azim to follow up with uppercuts in close. He mixes them up going with the right hand to the body and following with hooks upstairs with the same hand.

Azim-Scoby: Round 7

Scoby has a good start landing a good shot to the body but he is then deducted a joint for using his head. It only consolidates Scoby's desire to swing for home run shots. Azim ups his pace and continues to land huge left hooks to the shots while also catching him with right-hand counters upstairs.

Azim-Scoby: Round 6

Scoby gets another warning for using his head. He will soon get a point deducted, though it won't matter too much as he is not going to win this fight on points. Azim still dominates with the jab. Scoby misses wildly with hooks, while Azim's land flush, especially to the body.

Azim-Scoby: Round 5

It has been a very impressive showcase from the Berkshire fighter so far. He makes it look effortless. Scoby has one moment at the end of the round where he uses his strength to push Azim in the corner and land a right hand, but the home fighter looks unfazed.

The Big Man Is Back In Town

Azim-Scoby: Round 4

Azim is keeping the American at range controlling the fight with his jab and feinting to set up hooks and body shots. Scoby is warned twice for using his head. Azim ends the round landing repeated right crosses.

Azim-Scoby: Round 3

A right hand from Scoby grazes Azim's chin and the Brit will have to be careful with his opponent's power. He has been a lot more ambitious in the round. The second half of the round sees Azim land a lot more shots especially to the body.

Azim-Scoby: Round 2

Scoby is mostly content to hold his gloves close to his head to block Azim's jabs. A right hand from Azim got around the guard and Scoby certainly felt that. When Scoby throws anything Azim sees it very clearly and easily weaves out the way of it.

Azim-Scoby: Round 1

The American looks physically imposing but the first round was all Azim with Scoby not having an answer to Azim's blistering handspeed.

Azim-Scoby up next...

Highly-rated super-lightweight Adam Azim (13-0, 10 KOS) takes on trash-talking American Kurt Scoby (18-1, 16 KOs). There was a lot of tension between the pair in the build up.

Okolie next for Riakporhe?

After this contest, a match-up against another Lawrence Okolie, who he had a scuffle with at a film premiere a few years back and were scheduled to meet in April of this year, seems a natural next contest.

"I think it's a fantastic fight at heavyweight," Carl Frampton said. "I think both of them are suited to heavyweight."

Riakporhe stops Welch in Round 2

Riakporhe lands a brutal right hand which sends Welch slamming to the canvas. Welch fights on but his legs were still wobbly. Another right hand saw Welch try to grab the rope as he went down to the canvas. The referee allowed it to go on but another right hand sees Welch go back down to the canvas. The referee waves the fight off.

With his speed and power, he feels suited to this division.

Riakporhe-Welch: Round 1

Not much in the round, Welch ducking low and jabbing up to make life difficult for Riakporhe who at the end of the round seemed to be finding his range. Probably an even round.

Big boys up next!

Unbeaten second generation heavyweight Tommy Welch (16-0, 9 KOs), with former British champion dad Scott in his corner. He takes on former cruiserweight star Richard Riakporhe (18-1, 14 KOs).

Davis wins British title!

He takes the fight on an unanimous decision: 115-114 and 115-113 (twice), to take the Lonsdale belt and Commonwealth title.

Emotional scenes as he is crying, as are his children at ringside.

Gilley-Davis: Round 12

A last round which saw Gilley maybe edging it. Controversy at the end of the fight though as Gilley went down as a shot from Davis landed. The referee waved it off saying it was a slip. It looked like a knockdown to me. It was a flush uppercut. It was by the ringpost in Gilley's corner.

Gilley-Davis: Round 11

A great turnaround from Gilley. He landed aa right uppercut which switched momentum back in his favour. Davis had his head rocked back from a number of shots and though Davis ended the round better it is Gilley's out which will leave the fight close going into the last round. Gilley landed another one low and if Davis loses a close one there will be huge complaints about that.

Gilley-Davis: Round 10

Gilley is still moving a lot in an attempt to keep Davis at bay but crucially his left hand remains low leaving him a sitting duck to Davis' right hands. You can't fault his effort but it is having no effect at present with Davis landing two or three times to one coming back and a particularly brutal one-two which rocked Gilley.

Gilley-Davis: Round 9

Gilley starts quite well but a body shot from Davis saw him physically wilt and he took a combination of hooks upstairs following up. He bravely fires back but his shots are having no effect on Davis now. It looks a matter of if, not when, Davis has his hand raised.

Gilley-Davis: Round 8

Davis is dominating most of the fight now with Gilley unable to or unwilling to use his jab from range. Gilley still has moments like with a right uppercut, right to the body downstairs but he is losing the fight now.

Gilley-Davis: Round 7

Gilley has blood streaming from his nose now as Davis is now continually coming forward. Gilley is still landing a bit but the cleaner and more powerful shots are coming from the challenger. Gilley reacts to Hearn saying 'wooah' at a shot from Davis which missed and repeats the shout to the promoter when he lands shortly afterwards.

Gilley-Davis: Round 6

Davis turns aggressor in this round, with uppercut and hooks in close but Gilley takes a step back and lands with his own straight right hands and hook to the body. He is warned twice for low blows - next time a point will be deducted. Gilley's right eye is closing and Davis is looking to take advantage with left uppercuts and hooks. A fantastic end to the round sees both launching shots. Gilley is still in there but it feels the fight is turning Davis' way.

Gilley-Davis: Round 5

Gilley started the better landing with shots in the first half of the round while Davis was more passive. Davis came back into the contest in the midways point though was stopped by a body shot which was just about on the border. They each have moments in the closing moments, Gilley to the body and Davis countering with a left hook upstairs.

Gilley-Davis: Round 4

A better round for Davis. Gilley being a little too impetuous getting in close where Davis, with his shorter reach, is more suited and can land combinations. His work is far more clean which may help him when it comes to close rounds.

Gilley-Davis: Round 3

Gilley with good work crowding Davis and landing shots trapping his opponent against the ropes. He throws one south of the border which Davis takes just a few seconds to get over. Gilley with another good right to the body, but Davis comes back with a straight right and uppercut near the end of the round.

Gilley-Davis: Round 2

Davis looks sharper in this round, landing flush on Gilley with counters, especially from the southpaw stance, moving in and out of range.

Gilley-Davis: Round 1

Gilley probably takes the fight by virtue of being more aggressive but not much from either fighter really. Davis keeps shifting from orthodox to southpaw to stop his opponent getting rhythm and entice errors.

Not many in attendance yet

But a moment for the Spurs fan Gilley walking in nonetheless, with a cockerel on his coat and Olly Murs carrying his belts.

Gilley is a 3/1 underdog in this contest. It is a testament to how well Davis has fought as the away fighter on recent bills.

Light-middles up next...

Sam Gilley (18-1-1, 9 KOs) takes on Ishmael Davis (14-3, 6 KOs) defending his British and Commonwealth titles.

Tallon stops Shahid in Round 5!

Shahid is being forced to go backwards throughout the round as Tallon lifts the tempo and lands good left hooks upstairs which rocked the outsider. With the end of the round in sight an uppercut Shahid doesn't see sends the fighter to the canvas. Though he gets up and the bell rings, Shahid is wobbling and the referee waves the fight off.

Tallon-Shahid: Round 4

Shahid has some success early with body shots which force Tallon on the back foot, but he soon establishes control again mixing jabs to the body and head.

Tallon-Shahid: Round 3

Tallon landing the right hand more upstairs with some nice looking uppercuts. The round ends with both with bloody noses.

Tallon-Shahid: Round 2

Shahid was hurt again by a body shot, this time a right hand downstairs. He has not lost ambition though and is still matching Tallon for leather thrown, if not landing.

Tallon-Shahid: Round 1

Tallon showing his range of punches with an accurate jab and a nasty left hook to the body. One of which saw Shahid wince. Shahid's best hope is landing a right counter off the jab.

Thinking about the big fight...

The first fight was a slugfest but both will likely look to be more savvy tonight.

Eubank was not accurate enough with the jab to keep Benn at bay, while the Dark Destroyer's son allowed his opponent to crowd him, bully him on the inside and blanket his work.

The little guys will get us underway

A flyweight contest between Mikie Tallon (10-0, 1 KO) and Fezan Shahid 4-2-2. Not a fight you'd expect fireworks in but 1/25 shot Tallon would hope to get a second stoppage win.

Hello and welcome...
