Chris Eubank Jr says he underwent eye surgery following his gruelling points victory over bitter rival Conor Benn after being “headbutted”.

Eubank spent two nights in hospital following his victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening, with his promoter Ben Shalom rejecting Benn’s claims the 35-year-old had suffered a broken jaw.
