Benn and Eubank Jr. finally met in the ring after years of talk. The fight happened at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Eubank Jr. won by unanimous decision after 12 rounds.
Now, both fighters are thinking about what's next. Khan believes Benn should take the rematch with Eubank Jr. if it's in his contract. He talked to IFL TV about why:
"You don't know how much Conor has got left in him. Conor might feel like 'I might not get the opportunity to fight him again.' Chris might move up a weight or Conor might get beat again. It's a great opportunity for Conor to get another big payday."
Khan thinks it's smart for Benn to go for the rematch because of the money. He explained:
"If I was them, don't miss this opportunity. Go for it because it's a lot of money. For him to make that same kind of money elsewhere he would have to have three or four hard fights, but he can do that in one fight."
The former champ also pointed out that training is harder on a fighter than the actual fight:
"It's not the fighting that takes it out of you, it's the hard training that takes it out of you. I truly believe that as a businessman and as a smart fighter he should take that fight."
There's talk about a rematch happening in late September, but nothing's set in stone yet. If it doesn't work out, both Benn and Eubank Jr. have other options.
Many people in boxing think Benn should go back to fighting at his natural weight. But Khan is more focused on the money and the chance Benn has right now.
