LONDON, England — Chris Eubank Jr. admitted that from the very first round of his rematch with Conor Benn, he knew something was wrong and that victory was likely out of reach. Eubank (35-4, 25 KOs) looked a shadow of the man who edged Benn in a Fight of the Year contender back in April. This time, he dropped a wide unanimous decision in the return bout with Benn (24-1, 14 KOs). Dominating behind a sharp jab and fast one-twos before scoring two heavy knockdowns in the final round to seal the rivalry.
I did my best with what I had tonight, unfortunately it wasn’t enough.
