Summary
Chris Eubank Jr. recently settled a major chapter in his boxing career with an upset victory over Conor Benn, marking both him and his father Chris Sr. as family reunion winners after decades of conflict. The fight, which featured a controversial weight situation but ultimately went to decision for Eubank Jr., was part of the world's longest and most famous rivalries. Though it's not clear if this win will bring the same legacy as his dad's 1990 stoppage of Nigel Benn, Eubank Jr.'s victory keeps alive a cherished family tradition while also propelling him toward a potential fight against Canelo Alvarez later this year.
