They initially met on April 26 in a brutal clash that saw both men leave everything in the ring.
Ultimately, Eubank Jr got his hand raised with a unanimous decision win before being put in an ambulance to receive medical treatment for severe dehydration.
‘Next Gen’ has now uploaded an image to social media from that night that shows his swollen head and bloodied face.
He wrote: “I saw comments yesterday saying I’m playing the victim & looking for sympathy after showing what happened to my ambulance in April.
“If I cared about people’s sympathy, I would’ve posted this picture a long time ago.
“I’m shining a light on the situation to make sure that if I end up looking like this again on Nov 15, after another dog fight, that I’m simply taken to hospital as quickly as possible… that is all.”
What happened with Chris Eubank Jr’s ambulance?
Eubank Jr has accused organisers of the event and Benn’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, of delaying his ambulance from leaving the stadium post-fight.
He voiced his frustrations as he made the claims at the launch press conference for his rematch with Benn in September.
Eubank Jr stated: “After the fight, due to severe dehydration, I’m put in an ambulance and I have to go to hospital.
“I was so dehydrated, one of the toenails on my big toe fell off.

“I’m in the ambulance, and these scumbags blocked that ambulance from leaving the stadium for 20 mins.
“We were locked in for 20 minutes. I’m lying there in a gurney with an oxygen mask on, and the car cannot move because they won’t open the gates to let us leave.
“If this was a serious injury I’d sustained… that 20 minutes could have been the difference between life and death.
“While this was happening, Eddie Hearn and Conor Benn were talking to the media, lying about me having a broken jaw.”
His statement has since been met with threats of legal action from both Hearn and the British Boxing Board of Control chief Robert Smith.
Eubank Jr is, however, showing no signs of backing down, as he continues to fire shots on social media.
