The statistics heading into Saturday’s rematch between Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn might turn out to be revealing or, as is just as frequently the case, tell us nothing at all when all is said and done. But if you’re looking to back Eubank Jnr to win, as he did so on points over 12 rounds in April, the following will only strengthen that belief.

Though Benn can boast an advantage in age, in terms of having fewer miles on the clock, Eubank comes out on top in almost every other category when using CompuBox stats as a guide. The fights included are their three most recent outings: Prior to outpointing Benn, Eubank defeated Kamil Szeremeta in seven rounds and knocked out Liam Smith, in another sequel, inside 10; Leading into being humbled on the cards by Eubank, Benn outpointed Peter Dobson over 12 and went the full 10 while outscoring Rodolfo Orozco.
