Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn have shared the ring twice now, but their rivalry has been equally defined by the bitter fallout outside of it. The score is 1-1 as far as fights go, with Eubank winning the first…
Chris Eubank Jr has issued a full retraction and apology regarding defamatory statements made against Robert Smith and the British Boxing Board of Control during a September 2025 press conference. Eubank Jr previously alleged that the Board and Smith were corrupt, in the pocket of Eddie Hearn's Matchroom, and used disciplinary fines for personal gain.
Eubank confirmed the statements were completely untrue and revealed that a confidential legal settlement has formally resolved the matter. The controversy originally stemmed from over £600,000 in fines and weight forfeit penalties handed to Eubank ahead of his bouts against Conor Benn, with the fighters currently tied 1-1 in their series.
