As thrilling as it is, Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn meet at a strange time in their respective careers. Here are their 10 best wins to date…
1 Eubank vs. James Degale
Though a shadow of his former self, Degale still represents the standout “name” on the Eubank record and, in beating him via decision in 2019, Eubank was arguably at his aggressive and all-action best.
2 Eubank vs. Liam Williams
Eubank’s most recent victory (back in February) looked to be the most explosive of his career when he dropped Williams twice early. Yet, for whatever reason, Eubank eased off and chose to settle for a wide points win instead.
3 Eubank vs. Arthur Abraham
Yet another fighter past his best by the time Eubank got hold of him, Abraham was a former middleweight and super-middleweight belt-holder who was all out of steam come 2017, the year he lost a decision to Eubank.
4 Benn vs. Chris Algieri
In what was his final fight as a pro, Algieri, who had clearly seen better days, was mauled by Benn for three rounds before being knocked out in the fourth.
5 Eubank vs. Dmitry Chudinov
This was an early breakthrough moment in the career of Eubank and saw him impressively grind down Chudinov, unbeaten at the time, before taking him out in the 12th round. It was for a time the best win of his career.
6 Eubank vs. Avni Yildirim
In terms of capturing Eubank at his most ruthless, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better example of this than a 2017 destruction of Yildirim. That night he was determined to make short work of his Turkish opponent and he did, stopping him in the third.
7 Benn vs. Samuel Vargas
Similar to Eubank against Yildirim, this was an example of Benn attempting to not only beat an also-ran but demolish him in style. He did just that, too, running through Vargas inside the first round of their 2021 fight.
8 Benn vs. Chris Van Heerden
Last time out in April Benn made quick work of Van Heerden, beating him up early and ending his night in the second round. Short of world-class even at his best, the South African was, at 35, no match for Benn.
9 Benn vs. Adrian Granados
While perhaps the most frustrated Benn has looked in recent times, his 2021 decision win over the negative Granados, someone who has challenged many top fighters, was a good learning experience all the same.
10 Eubank vs. Gary O’Sullivan
A spicy affair, which saw both engage in trash talk, Eubank was clearly full of spite when forcing O’Sullivan to retire after seven rounds of their 2015 fight.
