Chris Eubank Jr has beaten Conor Benn amid a chorus of ringing boots at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
There was plenty of bad blood between the pair in the build-up to the bout, and it certainly lived up to the billing in north London.
Benn came out the quicker of the two men, with the 28-year-old landing a flurry of punches in the early rounds.
But it was Eubank Jr who ended up reigning supreme, with the 35-year-old summoning the magic of his father as he secured a big victory in north London.

Speaking after his win, Eubank Jr said: "First of all, I thank the one above.
"I knew I could do that, I just needed someone to bring that out of me and I didn't think that he would be the guy to do that.
"The fact our fathers did it years ago brings out a different spirit into you and that's what we showed here tonight.
"I'm happy to have this man [Eubank Sr] back with me. We upheld the family name - onwards and upwards."
The highly anticipated boxing match Eubank Jr and Benn finally took place after their previously scheduled 2022 bout was cancelled.
There had been concerns that the contest might not live up to the considerable hype surrounding it.
Much of the pre-fight narrative centred on family legacy, with both fighters attempting to follow in the footsteps of their legendary fathers.
Despite these worries, the match delivered spectacularly on its promises.

"He couldn't move around the ring, he had to stand toe-to-toe and that is legendary behaviour in the ring. I am so proud of him.

"Maybe 14 months out of the ring didn't help, so inactivity is the only thing. I'm not going to say I deserved to win it, I have to watch it back," he said.
"Maybe I stayed on the ropes a bit too long. Chris is a good fighter. All the fighting talk is fighting talk. I'd love the rematch."
