The two fighters finally faced off in April 2023 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a long wait. Their original bout got called off when Benn tested positive for a banned substance. He later got cleared to fight on home soil late last year.
The match-up had its challenges. Benn moved up two weight classes, while Eubank had to deal with a 10lbs rehydration clause on the morning of the fight. Many people thought Benn would struggle with the bigger man's punching power.
The fight turned into a 12-round war with both men having their moments. In the later rounds, Eubank's size advantage showed as he took control.
Benn talked about feeling Eubank's power during the fight:
"He hit me maybe in, I think it was round nine or 10, he hit me with a shot, he caught me with a good shot, it was a good shot, one head shot."
But Benn claims he gave as good as he got:
"Three, four times I could see where he stumbled in and done what he had to do."
Benn admitted Eubank used his weight well but criticized himself too: "I made mistakes in there letting him push me back to the ropes."
Despite losing by unanimous decision, Benn wants another go at Eubank. If that doesn't happen, he'll look for a welterweight world title shot against someone like Mario's Barrios. Eubank has said he's up for a rematch too.
But not everyone agrees. Eubank's dad and others in boxing say there's no need for a second fight because of the weight difference between them.
