Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr have been suspended from boxing after their highly anticipated rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 15, 2025. Benn won the fight by unanimous decision, avenging his earlier loss to Eubank Jr in April.
Benn controlled the match with precise jabs and better movement, making it hard for Eubank Jr to find his rhythm. In the 12th round, Benn knocked Eubank Jr down twice but couldn’t finish the fight before the final bell.
The judges scored the fight 119-107, 118-108, and 116-110 for Benn, a result mostly accepted by fans, though some questioned the score margin.
Despite the intense rivalry, both fighters received temporary suspensions according to boxing medical rules. These suspensions protect the fighters’ health and give them time to recover. They usually last about seven days, but can be extended to 30 or 60 days depending on the fight’s nature.
Fighters who get knocked out or have technical knockouts often face longer suspensions. The British Boxing Board of Control states that any fight stopped by the referee, or if a boxer retires, leads to a license suspension of 28 to 45 days or more, based on the Senior Medical Officer’s decision.
Fans are eager for a trilogy fight since each fighter has one win against the other, but they must wait until the medical suspensions end and both fighters are cleared to compete. This suspension highlights the sport’s focus on safety, even amidst the drama shown by Benn and Eubank Jr in their ongoing boxing rivalry.
