BREAKING NEWS: Eddie Hearn EXPOSES Chris Eubank’s Controversial Win Over Conor Benn with SHOCKING EVIDENCE

In a stunning turn of events, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has unveiled what he claims to be explosive evidence that casts serious doubt on Chris Eubank Jr.’s recent victory over Conor Benn. The middleweight clash, which took place on April 26, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ended with Eubank Jr. winning by unanimous decision (116-112 on all scorecards), handing Benn his first professional loss. However, Hearn’s revelations have reignited controversy around the already contentious fight, raising questions about its integrity.

Hearn’s Bombshell Revelation

During a press conference this morning, Hearn, who represents Benn, presented what he described as “shocking evidence” of misconduct during the fight. According to Hearn, Eubank Jr.’s team engaged in improper communication with the judges, allegedly influencing the scorecards in Eubank Jr.’s favor. “We have proof that there were unauthorized interactions between Eubank Jr.’s camp and the officiating team,” Hearn stated, his voice brimming with indignation. “This wasn’t a fair fight—it was a disgrace to boxing.”

Hearn revealed a series of text messages and audio recordings purportedly involving a member of Eubank Jr.’s team and one of the judges. In one audio clip, a voice allegedly from Eubank Jr.’s camp can be heard saying, “We need those scorecards to lean our way—make it happen.” A text message, dated the morning of the fight, reportedly reads, “Ensure the right result, and you’ll be taken care of.” Hearn has submitted this evidence to the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) and the World Boxing Association (WBA), demanding an immediate investigation and the overturning of the fight result.

A Fight Already Steeped in Controversy

The Eubank Jr. vs. Benn bout was controversial from the start. Eubank Jr., 35, failed to make the 160-pound middleweight limit on his first attempt, coming in at 160.05 pounds and incurring a £375,000 fine, which was paid to Benn. A strict rehydration clause further complicated matters, requiring Eubank Jr. to weigh no more than 170 pounds on fight day, with a potential $1 million penalty for non-compliance. Despite these challenges, Eubank Jr. made the fight-day weight at 169.4 pounds and went on to dominate the later rounds, securing the win.

The fight also carried the weight of a storied family rivalry, pitting the sons of 1990s boxing icons Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn against each other. The buildup was marred by personal animosity, including Eubank Jr.’s persistent taunts about Benn’s past failed drug tests in 2022, which had delayed their first scheduled bout. Benn, 28, who was cleared to fight in the UK in November 2024, had moved up two weight classes to face Eubank Jr., adding to the drama of the matchup.

Eubank Jr.’s Camp Responds

Eubank Jr.’s team has categorically denied Hearn’s allegations, calling them “a desperate attempt to rewrite history.” In a statement released on X, Eubank Jr. said, “I won that fight fair and square. Eddie Hearn and Conor Benn can’t accept the loss, so they’re resorting to lies and fabricated evidence. I’m ready to defend my victory in any investigation.” Eubank Jr.’s promoter, Ben Shalom, added, “This is nothing but a publicity stunt. We welcome a full investigation because we know the truth will come out—Chris won because he was the better fighter.”

The Boxing World Reacts

The allegations have sent shockwaves through the boxing community, with opinions sharply divided. Some fans and analysts are skeptical of Hearn’s claims, pointing to his history of bold promotional tactics. A post on X captured this sentiment: “Eddie Hearn tried everything to help Benn win—rehydration clauses, weight drama—and now this? Sounds like sour grapes.” Others, however, believe the evidence warrants serious scrutiny. Former champion Johnny Nelson commented on Boxing Social, “If there’s any truth to this, it’s a massive blow to the sport’s credibility. We need transparency.”

The BBBofC has confirmed it will launch an investigation into the matter, with a hearing expected in early May 2025. If the allegations are proven, Eubank Jr. could face severe consequences, including the nullification of his win and a potential suspension. Conversely, if the evidence is deemed inconclusive or fabricated, Hearn and Benn could face backlash for making unfounded claims.

What’s Next?

This latest scandal adds another layer of tension to an already bitter rivalry. Benn, who has remained silent since Hearn’s press conference, is reportedly devastated by the loss but determined to clear his name and secure a rematch. Eubank Jr., meanwhile, is preparing to move forward with plans for a world title shot, though this controversy may delay those ambitions.

As the investigation unfolds, the boxing world waits with bated breath. The Eubank Jr. vs. Benn saga, already one of the most dramatic in recent British boxing history, has taken yet another shocking turn. Whether Hearn’s evidence will hold up—or whether it’s merely a promotional ploy—remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: this story is far from over.
