Chris Eubank Jr has been discharged from hospital after emerging victorious from his slugfest with fierce rival Conor Benn on Saturday night. Eubank Jr dealt Benn his first defeat of his professional career with a unanimous decision win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with all three judges scoring the contest 116-112 after a 12-round war.

The rivalry between Benn and Eubank dates back to a pair of fights between their fathers in the 1990s. Eubank Sr. knocked out Nigel Benn in the first meeting before the pair battled to a draw in the rematch in a rivalry that did big domestic business in the United Kingdom.

“He surprised me,” said Eubank Jnr after the fight. “I didn’t know he had what he had in him. I really didn’t. I thought I would break him early. I underestimated him. I didn’t train for a fight like that.”
