I’m happy to have this man [Eubank Sr] back with me. Neither was I [sure he’s be in the corner.] He needed to be here. It was special.”Benn put his defeat down to his 14-months of inactivity outside of the ring, before declaring he wants the rematch.He said: “14 months out of the ring. Inactivity must have been a factor. I felt it was a close fight. I’m not going to go ‘Yea, I think I won it and all that.’ It was close, I’ve got to watch it back.”I stayed on the ropes a bit too long, he worked harder towards the end.

I want the rematch, I’d love to avenge that loss. “But it’s either the rematch or go and face [WBC and WBA super-lightweight champion] Mario Barrios.”Both stars made the fighting legacy of their fathers – Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn – proud over the 12 rounds played out at the Tottenham Hostpur Stadium.By round 12 both looked leggy but neither backed down as they continued to swing punches at one another despite their legs failing to work.But pure grit and determination kept both “Next Gen” and “The Destroyer” on their feet before the final bell tolled.Eubank Jr, who showed off his battle scars with a large cut above his right eye, dropped to his knees in the ring and let out a primal roar of victory after being crowned.He was later taken to hospital as a precautionary measure after the savage bout.Pre-fight the contest was marred by controversy over a failed drugs test during their originally scheduled showdown three years ago and an egg being thrown during a press conference.Eubank Jr had also been granted an abrupt U-Turn of support from his father after the pair had seemingly gone their separate ways after six years of a public fallout in their relationship.Read More on The SunBut Eubank Sr delighted the Wembley crowd as he turned up in a car at the stadium before greeting his son and joining him for the ring walk.And the spectacle in the ring more than matched the build-up with neither boxer willing to give any quarter.Eubank sported a huge cut above his right eye after the fightCredit: ReutersCHRIS EUBANK JR VS CONOR BENN LIVE: ALL THE LATEST FROM HUGE GRUDGE MATCH More
