“The battle had to go out just like that”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Chris Yubenk Jr. met with Konor Benn. The battle, which has not developed since 2022, finally developed, completing the long history of confrontation that their parents began: Chris Yubenk Sr. and Nigel Benn.
Or not completed. How was it and what is waiting next?
Yubenk coped with the rival’s pressure. Although he was incredibly difficult Repeatedly before meeting, both boxers noted that this fight is the main one in their quarries. Too often Chris said. He is 35, most of his career is behind. There were good matches, there were good victories. There were bad duels and unambiguous defeat. There was a lot of haap. Too, when he started, and everything turned around the name of his father, and there was no defeat in his career.
The defeat and contradictory fighting decisions came. And a quarrel with the father, through which they have not communicated since 2022. Not even a quarrel, simply Yubenk Sr. did not support his son in the desire to fight against Konor Bann, and they stopped communicating.
It was different, but huge Aren Jubenk never collected. That’s way to fill the full arena for so many viewers – never.
In Benna, he is more: he is 28. However, this fight is a family business, he emphasized that. So, it was necessary to do everything to win. Press on the opponent for battle and prepare as the last duel.
In order to press, Chris was better coped. Yubenk and the egg on Benn’s head beat, and lifted various topics at all, to which Conor did not always understand how to react. He did this Yubenk Jr. skillfully.
Even the appearance of the father they did not communicate with was wonderful. Just before the battle, when Conor Benn was already in the locker room, the Yubenk Sr. came. The arena exploded with applause, and in Benn’s locker room everyone looked carefully at this arrival.
But Benn’s physical press was provided for one hundred and the first second. And it almost worked: Yubenko was clearly difficult to restrain the opponent. Although not long.

However, Conor did not give up and even returned to the duel. Closer to the championship rounds beat the opponent already Benn. He poured power, fought at the near distance. Even it turned out. And so much that it became scary for Yubenko. He could lose a victory that was almost in his pocket.
However, it did not last long. At the end of the meeting, Chris Jr. tasted, Benn continued his losing. Konor has sincerely tried, attacked and hit. However, he missed more, and to get the opponent when he clung to it.
The felling was not just a lot. It was so much that when it came to the finals of confrontation, everything they did – they chopped. They were exchanging near the ropes, trying to bring the brightest blows. However, Yubenk did better with this. He was more banal and beat more often – that’s all.
After the decision of the side, the discussion launched on the network. Why did 116-112 give all three judges? Nobody denies the victory of Yubenko – even Benn said in public that his level was not enough, and it is necessary to box better. However, it seems that a large break in the glasses.
However, this does not matter. Chris Yubenk Jr. really won in most rounds. In fact, the opponent waspass. How specific rounds, this is not so important.
What now? The first option is revenge. It seems that no contractually registered revenge has never been discussed and never. After the duel, no one mentioned it too, and therefore, he is not.
However, the question will be raised. Too a side that losted. Too, if it is Eddie Hirn, who generally does not like Yubenko.
However, there is not much relevance here, because it is unlikely that Benn wants to be in middleweight if he was about to lose weight again. On the other hand, if Conor decides what can, why not. Again fun and loud – super.
This is one option that is said to be Saul Alvarez. Even the head of the WBS even mentioned this. But this is all after protecting the titles by a Mexican. And for this, Yubenko will have to be recruited, because Saul will definitely not descend.
We will not forget that Yubenk can finish his career. The greatest victory was won, it was difficult. Recover well. You can also retire. However, this is unlikely, because they did not just make their father. There are a few more shows together.
And what about Benn? Everything will be fine. He is praised by dozens, hundreds and thousands of people. Defeat from the greater opponent in this style is a victory. Practically. Konor will go down the categories if he does not decide to stay. Therefore, there may be and should be titular confrontations ahead.
The most interesting thing is that Benn thinks of returning to the middle weight. To Hain, Ryan, Theophimo and others. Just imagine his fight against Theophimo Lopez. It will be difficult for the American. And not at all the fact that he will handle Koror.
