Conor Benn Sees Eubank Trilogy as 'Just Another Fight', Not a Legacy Moment
Conor Benn has made it clear that he views a potential trilogy fight against Chris Eubank Jr as "just another fight", rather than an opportunity to cement his legacy in the sport. The 29-year-old British boxer secured a unanimous decision victory over Eubank in their rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, avenging his first defeat to the American.
In a post-fight interview, Benn was asked about the possibility of a trilogy fight and how he feels about it. Benn stated that he sees this as just another bout, not a defining moment for him or Eubank's careers.
"I think we'll just let it lie," said Benn when discussing the prospect of a third fight against Eubank Jr. "It's just another fight to me. We've had two fights, and one was a loss, so I'm in the same position as before."
Benn's casual attitude towards a potential trilogy has left some fans questioning whether he truly wants to face Eubank again. However, Benn remains optimistic about his chances against his opponent.
The rematch saw Benn dominate the early rounds, but Eubank found his footing and began to apply pressure in the latter stages of the fight. Despite this, Benn's conditioning and experience ultimately told in securing the unanimous decision victory.
Eubank himself expressed disappointment with the result, stating that he did not have enough time to prepare for the rematch due to a hand injury suffered during the first bout. He vowed to regroup and come back stronger in his next fight.
With both fighters eager to move on from the rematch, it remains to be seen whether Benn will actually face Eubank Jr again or if their rivalry will remain at an impasse.

i feel like conor benn is being kinda chill about facing chris eubank jr again, which is cool i guess? i mean ben thinks they'll just let it lie and move on with their lives, that's fair lol. but for the fans who love watching these fighters go head to head, it's gotta be a bit of a letdown 
. personally, i think ben's strategy makes sense though - why get all worked up about one more fight when you've already got a win under your belt? 
. I wish more athletes could understand that these moments are what make or break their legacies 
. Anyway, back to Conor Benn... I feel like he's being super chill about the trilogy fight, which is kinda admirable? I mean, can you blame him though? Boxing is an all-consuming beast, and I'm sure it's hard to keep that mindset going. But for me, the real question is: what's next for Eubank Jr.? 
. But for him, it's just another fight 
? That doesn't sit right with me, to be honest 
Anyway, I guess we'll just have to wait and see if this whole trilogy thing gets off the ground...
. But at the same time, Eubank Jr seems pretty disappointed with the result, so maybe this is actually an opportunity for him to come back stronger? 
. For some fans, it might seem like he's not interested in a trilogy, but maybe he just wants to enjoy the next fight without putting too much pressure on himself? 
. I'm not saying Benn's a bad fighter or anything, but you gotta wonder if he's truly ready for the big boys just yet 
. He just shrugs off the idea of a trilogy with Chris Eubank Jr like it's no big deal 
. Like, what's wrong with wanting to cement his legacy? It's not like he's being arrogant or anything 
. And now fans are wondering if he even wants to fight Eubank again 
... honestly, can we just have some excitement around this rivalry already? 
The rematch was close and intense, but this whole thing feels so underwhelming 
. Give me a good old-fashioned trash talk any day 
.
. I think he's trying to downplay the significance of it all, but at the same time, we're supposed to believe he's genuinely not invested in beating his rival? 
. And btw, did Eubank really only have a week to recover from an injury? That seems super sketchy
