Chris Eubank Jr sets sights on blockbuster fight he could take over Conor Benn rematch
Chris Eubank Jr is eyeing up a showdown with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez after getting the better of Conor Benn at the weekend. The 35-year-old left hospital on Monday after being admitted for “precautionary checks” following his bout with Benn.
Eubank and Benn went head-to-head at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night, 35 years after their fathers had first fought. Benn started strongly and appeared to be getting the upper hand in an uncompromising affair. But Eubank hit back and was eventually declared the winner following a unanimous decision by the judges.
