Chris Eubank Jr revealed that he had eye surgery following his intense points victory over Conor Benn, which included a headbutt that opened a cut above his eye. After spending two nights in the hospital for precautionary checks, Eubank Jr clarified that he did not suffer a broken jaw, countering statements from Benn and promoter Eddie Hearn. Eubank Jr expressed gratitude for the positive reception of the fight and indicated that he is considering a potential rematch with Benn or a fight against Saul Canelo Alvarez in the future, emphasizing the endless possibilities in boxing.
"When you get into a fight for 12 rounds, there are injuries that are sustained. I got headbutted above my eye around the middle of the fight. It opened up and I had to go and have surgery on that to sew it up."
"Boxing is a very beautiful industry where anything can happen. The possibilities are endless. If the rematch is meant to be it will be. If not, there's plenty of amazing fights to be had and great things for me to achieve in this sport."
"That is another stadium filler, absolutely. Wembley, Tottenham, any one of the large football stadiums in the UK will be filled for a fight like that. He is an opponent I've been looking at for many years now."
