BBC boxing analyst Steve Bunce believes that Conor Benn will not face Chris Eubank Jr in a third fight. The outspoken commentator was speaking after Benn's victory in their rematch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he avenged his previous defeat to Eubank Jr.
Bunce thinks that Benn has sent a clear message with his win, indicating that there is no need for another bout between the two fighters. This sentiment is echoed by many in the boxing world, who feel that Benn's performance on Saturday was too convincing to warrant further action.
While some may argue that Eubank Jr still has a claim to being considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, Bunce thinks that his recent form and overall record are not sufficient enough to justify another fight with Benn. For now, it appears that the door is closed on any potential rematch between these two talented boxers.
In an era where boxing rivalries often extend far beyond a single bout, the reluctance to revisit the rivalry between Benn and Eubank Jr may be seen as disappointing for some fans. However, Bunce's opinion suggests that the time for another clash of titans has passed, at least in the immediate future.
