\u201cYou could definitely see that it was an injury [to Smith], that\u2019s all that was. One hundred per cent, you could tell Smith weren\u2019t himself. His shots weren\u2019t coming off, he weren\u2019t able to get out the way of the shots. And that\u2019s all that was.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t think it was an impressive performance [by Eubank Jr]. If you\u2019ve got a wounded man in there, take hold of them, get them out of there. If I\u2019ve got someone injured in front of me who can\u2019t throw back, they ain\u2019t seeing the end of the round. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Eubank Jr] looked better than he has done previously, but it weren\u2019t all that. Smith made him look good tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benn, who was referencing an apparent ankle injury suffered by Smith, also responded to a post-fight callout by Eubank Jr, saying: \u201cLet\u2019s get it on, there\u2019s unfinished business there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benn, who is currently ineligible to box in Britain, has also hinted that he could return to the ring in Florida on 23 September.<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr vs Benn, had it gone ahead in October 2022, would have taken place almost 29 years to the day after the pair\u2019s fathers fought each other for the second time. Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn fought to a draw in their 1993 rematch, after the former won their first clash in 1990.<\/p>\n
