After looking every bit the fresher, stronger, and better fighter than Chris Eubank Jr. in his lopsided unanimous decision victory Saturday night, Conor Benn dismissed any notions of a trilogy fight.
"I feel like this is the end of the Eubank-Benn saga," Benn said live on DAZN inside the ring at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after producing a masterpiece win in their rematch. "It’s over. This ends here."
Benn, now 24-1 (14 KOs), quickly reached the verdict after exacting cold revenge on his nemesis, dominating every round, including making Eubank Jr. taste the canvas twice in the 12th and final round.
"Well, everyone’s saying I can't box," Benn said, "put that in your pipe and smoke it, how about that?"
Though Benn was thoroughly dominant in humbling Eubank Jr., the latter didn't shut the door on the possibility of a third fight between them.
"It’s 1-1, I’ve got to go away and deal with some of the things I’ve been dealing with over the past couple of months," Eubank Jr. said.
"Who knows?" Eubank Jr., he added. "Maybe we’ll see something new with me and him, maybe we won’t. But for right now, it’s all about this man. It’s his night."
Benn's revenge came after Eubank Jr. won a hard-fought, closely contested initial bout back in April at the same venue.
