MARCUS RASHFORD led the star names at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to finally watch Conor Benn take on Chris Eubank Jr.
Declan Rice, Idris Elba and Maya Jama were spotted settling in before the all-British main event in front of 65,000 fans.
Eubank delivered a grandstand finish to beat Benn by unanimous decision after 12 gutsy rounds.
And eagerly anticipated family grudge match proved to be a big draw for the showbiz world.
Celebrities from the world of acting, to Premier League footballers and boxing royalty all were in tow to cheer either side on.
Rashford looked more causal than usual, as he donned a black Louis Vuitton bomber jacket.

A video spread online of the Manchester United loanee walking to his seat wearing tinted sunglasses, while carrying a fizzy soft drink.
The England winger missed Aston Villa’s 3-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat by Crystal Palace across London earlier on Saturday.
Rashford – who could miss the reason of the season through injury – is reportedly set to be joined by team-mate Ollie Watkins, who hasn’t been spotted just yet.
Hollywood A-lister Elba looked stylish in a shirt and black sunglasses alongside wife Sabrina.

The British actor said: “My prediction is Benn. He’s the younger, fitter fighter. I think he’s got a lot more to fight for.
“I think Eubank is a class fighter. But he’s past it a little bit now. It’ll be Benn’s toughest fight, but he will win.”
While Arsenal midfielder Rice – who beat rivals Spurs on this turf earlier in the season before it was turned into a boxing arena – looked dapper in a smart jacket and white T-shirt.
Rice was sat close to Rashford, with the pair closely chatting during the undercard fights.
And Love Island presenter Maya – who is in a relationship with Manchester City star Ruben Dias – was also spotted ringside.
Elsewhere, Ben Whittaker travelled down from the West Midlands to watch his fellow British boxers fight on the biggest stage.
Whittaker is enjoying some down time after stopping Liam Cameron in the second round of their rematch in Birmingham last Sunday.
Meanwhile, Kieran Trippier, Harry Redknapp and Ben Chilwell are apparently in the building.
CHRIS EUBANK JR VS CONOR BENN LIVE: ALL THE LATEST FROM HUGE GRUDGE MATCH
Award-winning British chef Gordon Ramsay was spotted sitting on the opposite side, in front of the commentator booth.
But believe or not, the biggest shock appearance came when Chris Eubank Sr walked into with his eldest son.
Eubank Sr had vowed to miss the grudge match after falling out with his son last year.
Sr maintained he could never be in his Jr’s corner, after he smashed an egg around Benn’s face and refused to move up to super-middleweight.
Eubank had even told SunSport’s Behind The Gloves that his son had “never understood” boxing.
But he touchingly told Sky Sports cameras that he “loves his son” before Jr took to the ring on Saturday.
And it all threatened to kick off back stage before the main event.
Benn tried to throw one final mind game towards Eubank Jr.
Benn sent Billy Joe Saunders – who beat bitter enemy Eubank in 2014 – into his opponent’s dressing room to oversee the wrapping of his hands.
A member of both boxers’ teams are allowed one person into the opposing dressing room to watch over the process.

But footage shared by Matchroom Boxing revealed Saunders was DENIED access into the dressing room.
A furious bust up ensued outside with Eubank’s manager Napper – also known as Elliott Amoakoh – and Saunders – flanked by a right-hand man.
