Conor Benn has revealed the extravagant purchase Chris Eubank Jr. 'paid for' following his weigh-in error and it could make an appearance in their proposed rematch.
Eubank Jr. edged out Benn by unanimous decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month.
A rematch clause is in place following their thrilling showdown.

A second meeting between Eubank Jr. and Benn will see both fighters earn another massive pay-day.
But the 35-year-old was forced to forfeit a chunk of his purse after he failed to make the contracted weight of 160lbs during the official weigh-ins on the Friday before their bout.
Benn pocketed the fine and he has since spent the money on a spectacular purchase.
He revealed that he bought a Rolls-Royce car from the fine he pocketed following Eubank Jr.'s weigh-in mishap.

On the Ariel X Ade: The Boxing Show, Ariel Helwani asked the 28-year-old about a possible rematch as he referenced his Rolls-Royce, asking: "Will you roll up with that new Rolls?"
Benn replied: "Do you know what... so, aside from the fight, the night and the occasion, this was the second happiest moment of my year... was me buying this knowing that's just because he was 0.5lbs over.
"He paid for my private jet, and he also paid for my Rolls-Royce. So, cheers Chris. I appreciate you mate... you're a diamond. Miss weight again will you."

Benn, who returned to the ring for the first time since February 2024, is gunning for a rematch with Eubank Jr., targeting either the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or Wembley Stadium.
On a rematch against his domestic rival, he said: “As far as I’m aware, the contracts have already been signed. I’m hearing September [at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium], or Wembley [Stadium] maybe."
Benn also called out Devin Haney as he could return to welterweight if he passes up a second fight against Eubank Jr.

"If it's not Eubank then that chapter closed and I drop down to 147. I would prefer Haney out of the lot of them. But then again, I don't fancy catching a lawsuit, so I'll probably give that a swerve," he added.
The British boxing star was referencing the lawsuit that Haney brought against Ryan Garcia last year after he failed a drugs test following their Brooklyn clash in April 2024.
Haney was seeking damages for battery, fraud and breach of contract after losing to Garcia, with the result later ruled a no-contest following Garcia's positive test.
Haney and Garcia settled their lawsuit in January.
