The fierce rivals go to the distance in medium weight combat while their famous parents look at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London.
Chris Eank JR treated his partner Briton Conor Benn a first defeat in his career after going to the distance to win his medium weight grudding match in a unanimous points decision.
The three judges scored the 116-112 fight after a 12-round slugfest pulsating, with both combatants who came out strongly from the beginning and go until until they were told to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in London.
The fight between the children of the former world champions and archirrival Chris Eank SR and Nigel Benn, who twice in the 1990s, was suspended in 2022 when Benn testified for traces of traces of fertility clomiphene drugs.
“I knew I was able to that, and I just needed something to get that out of me. I didn’t expect him to be the guy who did that,” Eank told Dazn.
“The fact that our parents did before they take out their soul in you.
“I didn’t know [Benn] He had what he had in him. I thought I would break it early. I didn’t train for such a fight. “
Both parents were present, 32 years after their last shock, and hugged in the ring before the opening bell.
The fight itself backed away the years of the remains that their parents produced with pure aggression and dominant energy.
“I was close,” after Benn Sid. “I need to see it. I thought I won. Maybe I stayed on the ropes for too much. I enjoyed it and it was a massive home.
“We always knew that Chris was a good fighter and has a good fighting talk.”
Benn had taken a step in weight to face some who had one leg a fierce rival outside the ring.
“I think I can go down again and win a title,” Benn said about reflection.
A rematch between the pair is in the contract, and the promoter Eddie Hearn was clear that it must happen, in his opinion.
“I couldn’t divide them. I thought Benn was winning the fight and then lost the last two rounds,” Hearn to Dazn told Dazn.
“It’s what it is, but I didn’t see Euank winning that for four rounds.
“Benn became the town champion. He got up to fight a medium weight, and touched the kitchen sink. He never stopped trying to win the fight.
“It was one of the most dramatic fights I’ve seen.
“Those two warriors must respect themselves after that.”
