Chris Eubank Jr was quick to react to Conor Benn's loss to Ryan Garcia on Saturday, mocking his bitter rival after the emphatic defeat.
Benn was fighting for a world ***** le for the first time, challenging Garcia for the WBC welterweight belt, when he suffered a second-round loss in Las Vegas.
Benn, 29, started aggressively as expected, but he walked onto a huge right hook in the second frame, as Garcia, 28, dropped the Briton badly. Benn beat the referee's count but was quickly overwhelmed, leading the official to step in.

The result marked Benn's second-ever loss, and his first via stoppage; in April 2025, Eubank Jr outpointed Benn, who returned the favour in November.
