Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn have ‘Unfinished Business’ to attend to this Saturday night, November 15, at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, live on DAZN PPV.
The first fight was action-filled, fierce, frenzied and it far exceeded everyone’s expectations. The scores of 116-112 x3 to Eubank Jr. sounded a little wide at first, considering how the contest swung back and forth, but the result was completely fair.
In round three, Benn landed a fantastic one-two that was followed by a huge left hook, which staggered Eubank, even though he later watched it back and said that he was fine because he was talking in Benn’s ear, yet he had to hold on to stay safe and recover.
Eubank had taken the first round, lost the second and third, then took over for the rest of the contest, giving away just one or two more around nine and 10, before finishing the fight strongly.
It was an epic battle between the born rivals, who have each inherited their famous fathers’ feud. They did themselves and their families proud with their performances. It wasn’t world level skill on display, so it was far below what Golovkin and Canelo produced, for example, but it was exciting in its own right.
The scores of eights rounds to four were quite accurate, in my opinion. Benn believes he has made the necessary adjustments for the rematch, but Eubank Jr. predicts there will be ‘parliamentary procedure’ to his performance.
I’ve heard a few opinions that suggested Eubank Jr. was completely spent at the end of the first fight, but I’m not so convinced. It was him that set the fast, frenzied pace to finish on, even though he must have known he was well ahead on the scorecards. He could have just stayed safe and boxed sensibly, but instead he went hell for leather to entertain the sell-out crowd. I believe he hurt Benn a few times in that 12th round too.
I also believe Benn hurt Eubank with that big left hook in the third round, so each fighter knows they have the power to hurt the other.
It was Eubank’s greater experience, commanding jab, composure and intelligence that won the first fight for him. He was calmer, less emotionally invested than Benn was, who overreached, overloaded and missed wildly at times.
His smaller size meant that he wasn’t able to work his way inside easily, especially as Eubank used his jab to full effect. Conor’s counter right hands, with all his speed and reflexes, were very effective, so he needs to get his feet into position to unload more of those. He was bettered in a lot of the exchanges, so he also needs to improve on his inside work and to try and emerge cleanly, that means more punches from more angles finished with a smooth exit.
Benn is an improving fighter, still not the finished product and still just 29-years-old. Eubank Jr. was his biggest step-up in levels and he did really well to win at least one-third of the contest, especially after over a year out the ring.
Those 12 rounds will have boosted his progression and experience enormously, so he will undoubtedly come to the ring as a better, stronger fighter, especially if he is able to relax and channel his aggression better this time.
Despite all of this, I feel that it’s all down to Benn to display all of these improvements in order to stand a chance of winning the rematch, whereas Eubank Jr. just has to do the same again, albeit also better and stronger to match.
If Benn can produce a fight-changing moment, like Liam Smith did when he unleashed a barrage of head shots on Eubank Jr. in 2023, then there’s a chance he can win by stoppage, but he has to capitalise on the slightest sniff of blood.
To cover all possible outcomes, Chris Eubank Sr. won the 1990 fight against Nigel Benn via TKO 9, then their rematch almost three years later ended in a draw, so if Conor Benn is able to give an improved account of himself, evening things up, then history repeating itself would be amazing. A draw between these would not only repeat history, it would set up an even bigger trilogy decider.
However, in conclusion, I’m backing Eubank Jr. to box sensibly to win on points again, with perhaps a closer score at ringside this time.

If you’d like to back any of the selections, we recommend a bookmaker to do so with. These are usually the bookies offering the best odds on the selection at the time of posting the tip but it may be worth checking other bookies in case the odds have changed. There may also be betting offers associated with the tip that are only available with specific bookmakers that are worth taking into consideration.
We never recommend an actual stake to use for each bet as this will vary between people depending on the size of their betting bank. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always stick to your staking plan.
WhichBookie boxing analyst Tim Rickson will publish tips whenever he finds value in a bet. If there is a big fight coming up, it’s likely that he will cover it but generally, they’ll be posted whenever a good bet comes about.
Many of the big boxing matches are only available via Pay Per View. However, you may be able to find streams of some of the less-popular fights via the Bet365 Live Streaming service. Bet365 provides over 100,000 live streams of sporting events every year and is regarded as one of the best services for streaming sports online without charge.
There are several options when it comes to betting on boxing, and the more you know, the better your chances of success. We will now go into more detail about some of the different betting markets that you will find, and discuss a few potential strategies you could use.
As with most sports, the outright market is probably the simplest, because you’re just betting on who will win the fight. There are no other criteria to consider, other than the fact that with many of the best bookies for boxing, you can also bet on the draw. However, draws in boxing are very rare and not many people tend to back this outcome.
Bear in mind that in many fights, one boxer tends to be a heavy favourite and it’s usually quite easy to pick the winner. There don’t tend to be that many shock results. Therefore, the odds on the favourite are often very low, even if you use the bookie with the best odds as described earlier in the article.
If you’re happy betting at short odds, you can certainly get a good success rate simply by backing short price favourites in boxing. But many people prefer to look for bigger wins. So you may sometimes need to look at some of the other markets to get a better return on your bet.
This market lets you choose not only who will win the fight, but how they will win. Different methods of victory are usually grouped as follows:
So because there are more possible outcomes in this market, the odds are higher than just the outright win market.
The Round Betting market offers the opportunity to get the highest odds. Here you can bet on which fighter will win, and which round he/she will win in.
Options to bet on a fighter to win on points, or to bet on the draw, are both also included in this market. In a 12 round bout, that gives 27 different possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds on each one are naturally going to be much higher. Think of it as the equivalent of the correct score market in football betting.
So the round betting market offers the biggest potential wins when betting on boxing. But of course, it’s harder to predict the outcome. You do have the option to split your stake to cover more than one outcome though. So if you felt that a fighter would win within the first 3 rounds, you could split your stake to back him to win in round 1, round 2 and round 3. The odds would mean you’d get a good profit if any of those outcomes happened.
This is a simple market in which you decide whether the fight will last all 12 rounds or not. Therefore there are only two outcomes to bet on, Yes or No.
It’s possible to get a decent success rate when betting on this market. Check the stats and the history of each boxer and ask yourself the following:
The answers to these key questions should give you a good idea of whether the fight is likely to go the distance or not. There can still be surprises, but you’ll certainly win more bets than you lose.
This market allows you to bet on the total number of rounds the fight will last for. The advantage here is that you do not need to specify who will win, just how long it will last.
For example, let’s consider a market of Over/Under 3.5 Rounds. There are only two options to bet on, either Over 3.5 Rounds or Under 3.5 Rounds. Therefore, you would approach the market as follows:
You will find that similar markets are available for Over/under 4.5, Over/Under 5.5, Over/Under 6.5 etc.
As any professional punter will tell you, the key to making a profit is not knowing who will win every time. Because obviously, that is not possible. The real trick is making sure that when you do win, you get the best possible odds on your bet.
We studied the odds for outright bets on every professional boxing match over a period of three months. We wanted to find the best bookies for boxing odds over a prolonged period of time.
As you would expect, Betfair and Bet365 are better than most of the competition. But the results showed that Betfred have the highest odds overall and came out well in some of the other markets like round betting.
Betfred were consistently best or equal best odds on nearly every outright market we recorded. They blew some of the other online bookies away in terms of the value they offered on boxing, and their user ratings are good too. So if you don’t have an account with them yet, we would definitely recommend joining.
