Conor Benn is probably one of the few in the boxing field, and they haven't seen his incredible 12 rounds of battles with Chris Eubank Jr.

On April 26, clashes between the second-generation British boxers saw Eubank (35-3, 25 KOS) make an exciting decision in front of more than 60,000 spectators at Tottenham Stadium in north London. Benn (23-1, 14 Kos) suffered his first career failure, although his stock could not be higher today after the Instant Classic.

One day, he will lead himself to review the third chapter of the boxing family competition for 35 years.

"I haven't quite finished watching it yet," Benn admitted on Uncrowned and Dazn's "Ariel X Ade" show Tuesday. "I have to build up the courage to watch it.

“I made a lot of mistakes. I know a lot of things I should have done are not done.

Benn, 28, is undefeated and hopes to challenge the middleweight champion one day. Still, the chances of resenting Eubank's resentment game was enough to bring both departments to middleweight.

Suitable, the same weight department held the first meeting between their famous fathers. Nigel Benn's 1990 meeting in Birmingham, England, ended his WBO middleweight title reign.

The battle helped usher in a critical moment in British boxing history, enough to get the two to run it back after nearly three years. Both fighters advanced and won the championship at the Super Middleweight Division, but played in front of 47,000 fans at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England in the 1993 WBC/WBO unified match.

So the young Benn put his family on the scoreboard.

The hate match in April came 14 months after Benn's appearance, but two and a half years after the cancellation of the original Eubank vs Benn Date in October 2022. A drug test scandal finally shut down the incident, and Benn finally proved to the world that he was a clean fighter after Clomiphene's test positive.

This is a long road to respect. Benn and career sponsor Eddie Hearn (Matchroom Boxing Chairman) even after fighting in the United States in September 2023, they received little public sympathy.

At the end of the kickoff press conference, Ben literally wore the eggs to confirm their rescheduling. Eubank smashed the egg yolk and shell on the right side of Benn's face, his own visual effect on scientific gender antibodies, provided that positive drug tests are the result of egg contamination.

"Everyone knows what I've been through in the last two years," Benn noted. "I haven't had a fight in England for three years. For me to that moment, it was a moment of pride. You did, Connor. I've been through a lot. I've gone through hell and come back.

"When you go through something like this, you don't know that your life has been taken from you. It's behind your head, 'What did I leave in me?" I still have that fire.

Eubank further embraced the character of a warrior, with plenty of chips on his shoulders throughout the accumulation process. He only added it after he was late to weight, just to miss out on the 0.05 pound mark.

The battle took place after Eubank was fined $500,000 and was still under the contract for a 10-pound rehydration limit the next day.

The cuts in Benn's surprise gains have been fully utilized, including the purchase of the brand new Rolls Royce.

"Apart from fighting, evenings and occasions, it's my second happiest moment of the year," Bain joked. "It's my gift because he's 0.05 years old. He pays for my private jet and my Rolls-Royce.

"Full respect, dad. Cheers, Chris. You're Diamond. Another weight, will YA?"

That said, the Eubank's scale failure is another reminder that the Benn (weight 156.4 pounds) is naturally a smaller fighter.

Despite this, he didn't go that far.

Benn published his career performance; unfortunately, one night his opponent did not quit. The battle was made in 10 rounds of effort and squats, and then Eubank swept the 11th and 12th rounds.

For Benn, hearing the same scorecard from 116-112 was hard to read for 35-year-old Eubank, they thought he deserved nods. It was a difficult way to break his own perfect record, although he felt comforted with the right reasons to know that his name would remain etched throughout British boxing history.

"I'm happy that this will be a British classic," Benn said. "Your stock is going to be a fight like this, making people value their money. People don't want to watch those fighters that go in just to kick the fight, or just to win a round, just to work hard. There's a lot of stuff. We're fighting a lot there."

Both boxers have a lot of motivation. The bets in their company reminded them of the bets because they were accompanied by their father.

Father and son wandering to the ring is always in Baines' cards. Not a lot for Eubanks.

Eubank elders always oppose the idea of ​​a second-generation battle, dating back to the first plan in 2022. He talked to his son for many years until the eve of the night of the battle. His arrival at Tottenham, followed by their subsequent ring action, somehow surpassing the incredible 12-round action in the ring.

"See him there, I'm on the moon," Benn said of the moment. "It wouldn't be the same without seniors. I'm happy for Chris. My dad is always in my corner, and it goes without saying. My dad is my shadow.

“If the battle makes up for this relationship…the money won’t be bought.”

That is, young Benn and Eubank were well compensated for their resurrection of hatred matches respectively. A lot of hype revolves around the event, never believing that anything in the ring can match.

Somehow, they overdelivered. Beyond mastering his first loss, Benn can at least find comfort in the case of handling.

"Even if this level of entertainment is available to the public, it makes me proud." "There are so many fighters out there that don't entertain or don't want to entertain. At the end of the day, I'd rather lose the exciting battle than win a boring battle. Because then I was sitting there and leaving, 'Did you really win?'

"That's my mindset. Ultimately, it's the entertainment business. The weight of the jump and the challenge of Chris was a great experience. I thought I won the fight, I thought I had engraved the division, but it was my fault to get it back to that close."

For Benn, the good news is that he doesn't have to wait for another two and a half years to redeem it.

While there is some discussion about returning to the welterweight and hope for titles, nothing is better than a sequel with Eubank, and in England’s oldest boxing family competition, Part 4.

The potential of any other victory will not bring greater satisfaction.

"This is definitely Eubank (next)," Ben insisted. "If I don't do Eubank next, that ship has sailed. The next step must be Eubank. If I don't do that, that chapter closes.

"Fingers crossed, we're dating now. The topic about September returns. The reality is, I'm ready (in August). I live in the gym. When Eubank was the queen of drama in the hospital, I went back to treadmill training. So I think I already had the shooting flames."
