Predicting Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn: Who has better stats and record?

Both fighters enter this fight with a dominant record, yet their size, styles, and experiences tell a completely different story. Conor Benn, the younger of the two, is a more precision-driven fighter. Meanwhile, Chris Eubank Jr. comes in as the larger, more seasoned pro with a deeper resume.

The 28-year-old holds an undefeated 23-0 record with 14 knockouts. A solid 60.87% KO ratio, suitable for his moniker, The Destroyer. Known for his aggressive and relentless combination, the Essex native thrives under pressure and close-combat. His defensive growth was evident in last year’s decision win over Peter Dobson. While there is no doubt about Conor Benn’s talent, a year-long inactivity raises questions regarding the ring rust.

On the other hand, Chris Eubank Jr. has been constantly fighting in the last two years and is naturally the bigger man. Despite not being undefeated, his record stands at 33-3 with 24 records, giving him a slightly higher KO ratio of 66.67%. At 35, he brings far more big-fight experience to the table. Furthermore, after facing an early setback in 2023 against Liam Smith, he has redeemed himself with two wins on the trot, under new trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ Mcntyre, the long-time trainer of Terence Crawford.

Eubank Jr. vs. Benn height, weight, reach comparison, and more

The 35-year-old enters this bout with a clear size advantage. Standing at 5’11”, with a 72.5-inch reach, he is the bigger man. He has transitioned between middleweight and super middleweight comfortably throughout his career, and currently holds the IBO middleweight championship.

On the other hand, Conor Benn stands at 5’8″ with a 68-inch reach and has never ventured past the welterweight division. Even though he will go up to 160 lbs for the fight night with a 10 lbs rehydration clause in place, Eubank Jr.’s familiarity in a higher weight class might give him the advantage. Stylistically, this is a classic case of youth vs. experience, pressure vs. poise. Benn will constantly try to close the distance, while the 33-year-old will use his size advantage to keep the distance and deliver that decisive knockout.

It is a truly 50-50 fight as Conor Benn can overwhelm anyone with his speed and aggression. However, Chris Eubank Jr.’s experience and physical advantage give him a slight edge. But in the end, this fight would go to the one who handles the pressure well.
