Conor Benn earns rematch revenge with dominant victory against Chris Eubank Jr.

Conor Benn delivered the last word on a three-decade-plus generational rivalry as he sealed revenge against Chris Eubank Jr. in their rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The star avenged a first career loss in April's original grudge match as he knocked down his rival in the final round en route to a 119-107, 118-108, 116-110 unanimous decision victory. 

It marks a first win for the Benn family in four attempts against their biggest foes, as 'The Destroyer' managed what father Nigel could not do against Eubank Jr.'s father Chris Sr.

More than six months after they first shared the ring in an enthralling encounter, there were plenty who wondered if the pair's second dance could match a modern British classic.

But if this follow-up did not live up to the livewire back-and-forth duel of the original, it nevertheless proved a worthy successor as it helped draw a definitive line under their story.

For Benn, who plans a return to his natural welterweight after vaulting two divisions for this challenge, it marks the sweetest triumph of his career as he goes in pursuit of titles.

Conversely, at thirty-six, it leaves Eubank Jr. with serious questions over his future, with the star visibly exhausted in the closing stages and surely to face questions on retirement.

After the operatic pre-bout spectacle served up by their ringwalks last time out, it was unlikely any effort could rival the emotive tenor of a now-famed Eubank family reconciliation.

Nevertheless, each fighter and their fathers arrived in fittingly adrenalized fashion, with Benn flanked by marching band drummers and Eubank Jr. accompanied by rapper 50 Cent.

Such energy further amped up a Greek chorus of a crowd that relished in giddy dissent upon Michael Buffer's announcements, their stars duly recast again as pantomime villains.

Having vowed to bring a more disciplined approach the second time around in search of vengeance, Benn - slightly heavier at Friday's weigh-in - sought to goad his foe early on.

Eubank Jr. responded after a taut first round with a clinched shove that sent the younger man for a tumble in the second, with stern words for both men from referee Kevin Parker.

That set the template for a scrappy third and fourth, where Benn sought to work the head and body diligently, but too often walked into the counter-traps laid in his path.

With the superior reach, Eubank Jr. sought to establish a more successful range in the fifth but took his own slip to the canvas in the sixth, ruled too as accidental inside the ring.

That seemed to further inflame Benn, who turned his fury into cold aggression with crunching jabs in the seventh round, before he dislodged his rival's mouthpiece in the eighth.

Perhaps aware of the bout slipping away from him, Eubank Jr. sought to up the work rate in the ninth, but seemed to struggle in a straightforward pursuit throughout the tenth.

Sensing victory was near, Benn upped the ante and finally secured his knockdown in the closing round, to the roars of the crowd, before the final bell confirmed a famous triumph.
