16 h. ago Benn battles demons and doubters to emerge triumphant against Eubank Jr

Victory against Chris Eubank Jr was driven by resentment towards his doubters after failed drug tests and defeat in their first bout“I feel like I’m going to go home and cry,” Conor Benn said quietly in the early hours of Sunday morning at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. “I think I’m going to cry here. Oh man, it’s been hard.”Despite the surprising ease with which he had beaten his nemesis Chris Eubank Jr over 12 one-sided rounds on Saturday night, Benn’s face was bruised.
