- Boxer spent two nights in hospital after points victory
- Potential fight with Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez mentioned
Chris Eubank Jr says he underwent surgery after his gruelling points victory over bitter rival Conor Benn after being “headbutted”.
Eubank Jr spent two nights in hospital after his victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening, with his promoter Ben Shalom rejecting Benn’s claims the 35-year-old had suffered a broken jaw. Shalom said Eubank Jr had gone to hospital for “precautionary checks”, but the fighter has now revealed he had surgery on a damaged eye.
