Chris Eubank Jr. has broken his silence following his victory over Conor Benn after being transported to hospital.

Eubank Jr. beat Benn by unanimous decision in a thrilling showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

He edged out his rival as the judges' scorecards baffled fight fans.

After the bout, Eubank Jr. was taken to hospital for a suspected broken jaw after absorbing a serious amount of damage in their contest.

But, on Sunday, BOXXER promoter Ben Shalom denied claims the 35-year-old suffered a broken jaw as he released a statement.

"I'm pleased to confirm that Chris is doing well and currently resting. There is no truth to the rumours regarding a broken jaw," he said.

"As part of his standard post-fight protocol, Chris is at the hospital for precautionary checks to monitor his vitals and ensure everything is in order. They take these measures very seriously, given everything they have experienced in the past. This process is something they now prioritise after every fight."

Shalom added: "Chris and Conor gave absolutely everything in what was the biggest legacy fight of all time. With their fathers standing proudly behind them, it was a moment that will forever be stamped in sporting history."

Eubank Jr. has since taken to social media following his hospital visit, having not participated in the post-fight press conference.

He uploaded an image of himself being announced as the winner, with his father, Chris Eubank Sr., in the background, accompanied with the caption: "HISTORY."

Benn, who suffered the first defeat of his professional career, wished his opponent well and thanked Eubank Sr. for being a part of the event.

"I wish him well. I know he's gone to the hospital. I've heard he's got a broken jaw, so I wish him a speedy recovery," he said during the post-fight presser.

"I also want to thank (Chris Eubank) Sr for turning up because this really is a family affair and it wouldn't have been what it was without Sr there."
