Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn PPV Numbers Revealed Amidst Eddie Hearn’s ‘Over a Million’ Claim

There is no denying that the Chris Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KOs) vs. Conor Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London brought in the views, not only from British boxing fans but from aficionados from across the globe. The fight saw the duo put generational rivalry to the test in a sensational battle that saw Eubank Jr win via decision.

“His Head Looks Like A Blown-Up Football”

The fight also saw Eubank Jr. take a few major hits, especially to his head. His father, former champion Chris Eubank, recently opened up about the seriousness and intensity of his son’s injuries.

“We were in the ambulance; the sirens, the horns are beeping; the chaos,” he said while talking on his YouTube channel, Call Chris Eubank. “My son Junior is very proud. His head looks like a blown-up football almost twice the size, and he’ll never let you see that because he’s proud.” Eubank highlighted that his son is touch and go and that they’re waiting for the CT scans to know the extent of his injuries.

“He suffered mostly in the hospital because of dehydration even though the beating was severe, and that’s why he was in such discomfort for 24, 30 hours,” he said, “I don’t want my son to have to go through that again. He doesn’t know that his life was in the balance neither does he care.”
