Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn produced one of the most beautiful stories in boxing history

Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn wasn't just a modern-day boxing classic. The event, which was billed "Born Rivals", was quite spectacular not just for what happened in the ring, but also for the story behind it.

The tale started all the way back in the 1990s, when their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, had perhaps the greatest rivalry in British boxing history. The two bona fide legends put together two separate iconic contests - one at middleweight and another at super-middleweight.

30 years later. Eubank Sr and Benn have since buried the hatchet but the bad blood was somewhat inherited by their sons, Chris Jr and Conor. Both boxers had quite a heated lead-up to their fight, generating much controversy and media coverage.

Chris Eubank Jr, who's had a rocky relationship with his father, walked with him to the ring for the first time in years. Benn also walked out with his father Nigel. Both boxers used their father's signature walkout songs.

Once the bell rang, Conor Benn took the fight to the bigger Eubank Jr, who missed weight by .05 pounds. 'The Destroyer' was intent on avenging his father, who was 0-1-1 against Eubank Sr.

Eubank Jr bravely met Benn in the middle, shot-for-shot, blow-for-blow. Both men got hurt, and came back firing like madmen.
