A FEW MINUTES AGO: The result of the 2025 Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn fight has been officially placed under investigation. The three ringside judges, the referee, and Conor Benn’s head trainer Tony Sims have all been called in for immediate questioning in what is now being labelled the most shocking scandal in British boxing history. Full details in the comments below

London, 00:17 GMT, 8 November 2025: Just 47 minutes after the final bell at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) issued an unprecedented statement: the entire judging panel, referee Marcus McDonnell, and Tony Sims are being detained at New Scotland Yard for “serious irregularities” in the scoring of the Eubank Jr vs Benn rematch.

The official scorecards, leaked moments ago, show two judges scoring 117-111 and 118-110 for Benn, while the third had it 115-113 — results that left 62,000 fans inside the stadium booing and Eubank Jr’s corner screaming “robbery.”

Eyewitnesses inside the arena claim that one judge was seen receiving a phone call during the 11th round, while another was allegedly filmed texting under the table. The BBBofC has seized all mobile devices and scoring tablets.

Eubank Jr, visibly furious in the ring, shouted: “Everyone saw it! This is a disgrace to British boxing!” His trainer Brian “BoMac” McIntyre stormed toward the officials’ table before security intervened.

Tony Sims, Benn’s long-time head coach, was escorted out by police minutes after the decision. Sources say investigators found multiple encrypted messages on his phone sent during the fight.

The BBBofC statement reads:

“Due to credible evidence of potential external influence on the official scorecards, the result is suspended pending full investigation. All parties involved have been detained for questioning.”

Social media has exploded with #EubankBennRobbery trending worldwide at number one, with over 4.1 million posts in under an hour.

Conor Benn posted a now-deleted Instagram story: “Clean fight, clean win. See you in court.” Chris Eubank Jr responded live on Sky Sports: “They stole my legacy tonight. This isn’t over.”

This is only the third time in British boxing history that a result has been officially suspended post-fight — the last being the 1996 “Battle of the Giants” controversy.

Police confirm the investigation is being treated as potential criminal corruption in sport, with possible charges ranging from bribery to match-fixing.

As of 00:17 GMT, no official result stands. The rematch that was meant to end a 30-year family feud has now become British boxing’s biggest crisis in decades.
