Eubank ‘doing well’ in hospital after beating Benn

Chris Eubank Jr., who defeated Connor Benn, is still in the hospital, but his promoter, Ben Shalom, claims he is doing well.

In a thrilling 12-round middleweight fight at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, Eubank, 35, defeated Benn by unanimous decision.

Following a gruesome fight, he was taken to the hospital as part of the routine for boxers.

Shalom from Boxxer, “There is no truth to the rumors about a broken jaw.”

Following a bout of wild aggression from both fighters, but neither fighter delivered the decisive blow, all three judges placed the match at 116-112.

Shalom added that Eubank was conducting “precautionary checks to ensure everything is in order” and kept his vitals in check.

Given everything they have gone through in the past, he said, “They take these measures very seriously.”

After losing to Eubank Jr. in 2016, Nick Blackwell bleeds on his skull and was placed in an induced coma.

After being injured during a sparring session later that year, he retired but underwent surgery to reduce the swelling on his brain before falling back into a second coma.

In a fight with Chris Eubank Sr. in 1991, Michael Watson suffered brain damage.

On Saturday, Eubank Sr. and his son unapologetically showed up at the venue. According to reports, Eubank Sr had allegedly been separated for years and had criticized the match-up.

Although Eubank weighed in 0.05 lbs over that weight on Friday, the middleweight limit for Saturday’s fight was set at 11st 6 lbs (160 lbs).

In 1990, Eubank Sr defeated Conor Benn’s father, Nigel Benn, in a contentious draw three years later.

In what was the biggest legacy fight ever, Shalom continued, “Chris and Conor gave absolutely everything.”
