Chris Eubank Jr. has certainly made waves in UK boxing, but calling him the “new king of British Boxing” might spark some debate among fans. The 35-year-old middleweight, son of boxing legend Chris Eubank Sr., has built a strong resume with a 35-3 record, including 25 knockouts. His recent unanimous decision victory over Conor Benn on April 26, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium—a thrilling grudge match that drew 67,484 fans—has solidified his status as a top contender. The fight, steeped in the legacy of their fathers’ 1990s rivalry, showcased Eubank’s resilience and skill, despite a tough weight cut and a $375,000 fine for missing the 160-pound limit by 0.05 pounds. All three judges scored it 116-112 in his favor, highlighting his dominance in the later rounds.
Eubank’s charisma, marketability, and ability to deliver high-profile fights make him a central figure, but the “king” label might depend on securing a defining world title or beating a pound-for-pound great. For now, he’s a major player with a bright spotlight, but the crown’s still up for grabs. What do you think—does his latest win make him the king, or is there more to prove?
