As a result, it was Benn's turn to score a convincing win over his fierce rival, with the judges scoring the bout 119-107, 116-110, 118-108, in the Destroyer's favour.
During the fight, boxing commentator Dan Canobbio delivered a stat that completely summed up Eubank Jr's poor performance.
Taking to social media, he wrote: "Chris Eubank Jr through 6 rounds in first fight: 52 thrown per round. Tonight: 26 thrown per round."
Meanwhile, RIng Magazine wrote: "Conor Benn has a 35-21 edge in jabs landed at the halfway point, according to CompuBox."
After nine rounds, DAZN stated that Benn had landed 18 jabs to the body and 39 to the head.
In comparison, Eubank Jr had only managed six to Benn's body and 19 to his head.
Speaking after the fight, Benn ruled out a third fight.
He said: "It's been some journey and I feel like this is the end of the Benn-Eubank saga. It's done and finished. It's over. This ends here. Everyone was saying I can't box, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
"This wouldn't have been what it was without Chris and without our dads. This is generational. This is history. Credit to Chris. That's all I've got to say. Not bad for two silver spoon kids."
Meanwhile, Eubank Jr said: "I’ve been through hell and back to get to this night and it is what it is. I tried my best. The kid fought hard and tough. He hits hard. He was bigger than me on the scales. We put on a show and Conor Benn was the best man tonight.
"It’s 1-1. I’ve got to go away and deal with some of the things I’ve been dealing with in the last couple of months and who knows? Maybe we’ll see something new with me and him. Maybe we won’t."
