Conor Benn has revealed exactly what Chris Eubank Sr. said to him in the hospital after his fight against Eubank Jr. on Saturday night (April 26).

Benn, 28, and Eubank Jr., 35, went toe-to-toe for 12 rounds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in what was, no doubt, a fight of the year contender.

The elder of the pair reigned victorious with a 116-112 unanimous decision win.

Shortly after the fight, Eubank Jr. was taken to the hospital with his promoter Ben Shalom explaining that this was for precautionary checks.

The 35-year-old then left the hospital on Monday (April 28).

"Well it took nearly three years but we finally got the job done,” Eubank wrote on social media on Monday.

"Big shout out to everyone that supported the fight on Saturday and made it the once-in-a-lifetime event that it was. Without the fans none of this is possible, thank you."

Benn was also admitted to hospital and reportedly found himself just two beds down from his opponent as reported by the Mail.

However, despite their 12-round war, Benn is clearly not a fan of Eubank Jr. and explained he “still ain't my cup of tea”.

And if the fight itself wasn't entertaining enough, Eubank Sr., who had previously slammed the idea of the contest, made an iconic entrance before walking out beside his son to the tune of Tina Turner's 'The Best'.

The 58-year-old's appearance drew a huge ovation from those gathered inside the stadium and even his former foe Nigel Benn seemed pleased to see him.

While stood in the ring in the moments after his son's victory, Eubank Sr. claimed that Benn was the "superior fighter" despite him losing to Eubank Jr.

"The credit I am going to give to Conor [Benn]," the 58-year-old told talkSPORT.

"I told you he was a superior fighter, but he shouldn't be fighting at 160lbs.

"He is a 147lbs fighter. What couldn't he do around the world?

"He has been destroyed by the people who are handling him.

"They need to be held to account. Do your job, do your job, do your job!"

Benn himself has now revealed what Eubank Sr. said to him while he was in hospital.

"Senior come in and seen me, we were chatting," Benn told iFL TV on Tuesday (April 29).

"He kept telling me I was the superior fighter... we was just talking man - he's a vibe."

When asked what exactly was said, Benn replied: "Well, half of it, I don't know. Half of it I couldn't understand what he was trying to say... I can't remember much."
