CONOR BENN is already back in the gym – just days after his agonising defeat to Chris Eubank Jr.
The welterweight contender put on a fight for the ages with his sworn enemy in front of a sold-out crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Saturday.
Eubank Jr ensured his family maintained bragging rights over the Benns with a unanimous decision victory in the closely contested 12-rounder.
Benn, 28, cut a crestfallen figure in the aftermath of the Spurs slugfest and was consoled by his dad Nigel.
But he’s seemingly already done licking his wounds and back plotting his ring return.
Benn shared a video of himself jogging on the treadmill on his Instagram and X pages on Monday morning, in which he reflected on his first professional loss.

“School’s never out. Working, learning and staying in shape. The same, really.
“I watched the fight back. I, personally, have me up [by] a point. I wouldn’t mind a, you know, one point either way.
“Four points is a bit wide, in my opinion. But you keep it moving.
