The former middleweight world title challenger sported a huge cut above his right eye with his face looking completely swollen after the epic bout.

As a result, his doctor ordered him to hospital, meaning he was unable to do the the post-fight press conference.

Spurs’ £1billion stadium erupted when Eubank’s legendary dad returned to his side for the historic grudge bout.

And Sr watched in awe as his eldest edged out a gruelling unanimous verdict.

Eubank Jr said: “I knew I was capable of that. I just needed someone to bring that out of me. I’m not going to lie, I did not expect that he’d be the guy to do that. 

“But the fact that our fathers did what they did all those years ago, it brings out a different soul, a different spirit. That’s what we both showed here tonight.

“I pushed through. There’s a lot of things that have been going on in my life that I’m not going to get into right now, but I’m happy to have (my father) back with me.

“We upheld the family name like we said we were going to do. Onwards and upwards from here.”

Meanwhile, Conor Benn suggested Eubank Jr had suffered a broken jaw in the fight.

He told the post-fight press conference, which his rival was unable to attend: “I wish him well.

“I know he’s gone to the hospital, I have heard he’s got a broken jaw do I wish him a speedy recovery.”

A rematch clause was already agreed before the pair’s individual £8million paydays.

But Benn, who left behind a welterweight title charge, said: “I believe I can fight at 160.

“But if we don’t do the rematch, which I’d love to avenge that loss, go back down to welterweight and win the WBC world title. 

“Mario Barrios or the rematch with Eubank, whichever happens next I’ll be content with.”
