Eubank Jr Faces Probe After Benn Fight Victory

Chris Eubank Jr has been discharged from hospital after precautionary checks for dehydration following his unanimous decision win over Conor Benn at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, attended by over 65,000 fans. His hospitalization was due to extreme weight-cutting rather than a rumored broken jaw, with medical staff closely monitoring his health. Eubank Jr faced criticism and a £375,000 fine for narrowly missing the official weigh-in, and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) is investigating his use of prohibited sauna suits to make weight. The bout had been delayed since 2022 due to Benn's failed drug tests and marked a highly anticipated event, intensified by the longstanding Eubank-Benn family rivalry. A public reconciliation between Eubank Jr and his father, Chris Eubank Sr, also took place after the fight. The BBBofC’s ongoing investigation may affect Eubank Jr’s future in British boxing.
