Eubank Jr, with Sr in his corner in a late twist, won a scintillating duel with Benn – 30 years after their fathers settled their own bitter grudge

LONDON (Reuters) -Chris Eubank Jr was taken to hospital for precautionary checks after beating fellow Briton Conor Benn on a unanimous points decision in their thrilling middleweight grudge match on Saturday.

Despite the size difference, Benn came out fearlessly in the opening rounds, using angles and footwork to avoid Eubank's jab and unloading with winging power shots that connected behind a quick jab. In the third round, Benn landed a heavy left that left Eubank with no option but to clinch and recover.
