Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn LIVE RESULTS: Huge main event on NOW – fight start time, stream for blockbuster bout

Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn - R1

Eubank Jr straight into the centre of the ring and it's a ferocious start to the contest from Benn.

He unloads two or three wild shots with everything he has but catches nothing but air.

Eubank Jr is just sitting in the centre and certainly looks a little bit more composed in there.

Both fighters certainly a little bit crippled by some nervous energy.

Benn then lands a nice right hand but Eubank Jr doesn't flinch and continues to work off the jab.

Lots of movement from both but the pace slows as we reach the end of the round.

Benn then lands another right and continues to throw with full power.

Two decent left hooks from Eubank Jr but they don't really land clean.

Then at the end of the round they share some words before going back to their corners.

Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn - R1

Victor Loughlin has a quick word with the two fighters and there is a final INTENSE staredown between them.

The bell sounds and we are underway!

I can't wait for this one!

Boos for both

It's very rare to hear a boxing crowd boo BOTH fighters.

But that's exactly what is happening here tonight.

Usually you'd expect a 50/50 reaction or at least mixed, but it seems like some of these paying fight fans have spent their hard earned cash but don't want either fighter to win.

Those sacred words...

Michael Buffer: "Let's get ready to rumble!"

Let's go!

Buffer introduces the dads

Lovely moment as Michael Buffer gives a special introduction to both Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr.

There's a mixture of boos, cheers, applause but the noise was LOUD when that happened.

Michael Buffer announcements

Michael Buffer is running through all the names who made this fight happen.

A would say we're not far away but then he continues to read them off.

Embrace

Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn embrace in the ring as the two men - rivals for three decades - share a cuddle and a quick word.

Sr did also try to get at Conor but Nigel pulled him away.

The respect is definitely there, though.

Here comes Eubank Jr

Eubank Sr is the man putting on Jr's gown - which is a John Motson-inspired sheepskin number.

Jr then follows in HIS father's footsteps as yet another anthem rings around the Tottenham Hotspure Stadium.

Tina Turner's 'Simply The Best' is his song choice as he makes his way onto this stage.

A mix of boos and cheers echo around the stadium, it really does seem to be a bit split for who the fans want.

Sr remains on stage with Jr as he takes in the spectacle.

Jr takes his time getting to the ring as a symphony orchestra plays out Dr Dre's 'Still Dre'.

What a spectacle this is.

Boo boys

There are certainly boos when he gets into the ring wearing his dad's signature black shoes, black gown and black gloves.

They share a quick embrace before Eubank Jr's name is called out.

Conor Benn ring walk

Here comes Conor Benn as he walks out surrounded by dad Nigel, trainer Tony Sims and promoter Eddie Hearn - as well as security.

As he makes his way from the bowels of the stadium and into the open air, there's a gospel choir singing Fugees anthem 'Ready or Not'.

Boos greet him but then the 60,000 inside the stadium decide to sign along to such a banger.

The choir then belt out dad Nigel's theme song, the reggae banger 'Dangerous'.

Goosebumps.

National Anthem

God Save The King is now being played, the final preparations are taking place in the dressing room.

Benn takes a sip of water and Eubank Jr has his gloves checked and signed by the British Boxing Board of Control.

Michael Buffer cries out: "Let's get this party started!"

Eubank Jr getting ready

I reckon the ring walks are no more than a couple of minutes away.

Conor Benn was just spotted there putting his gown on and Eubank Jr is getting his groin protection and shorts on.

Michael Buffer is now in the ring...

Sweet Caroline...

Not very long to go now, the boxing anthem is belting out and 60,000 fans belt it back.

The noise inside the stadium is at absolute fever pitch!

Judges scorecards ncoming

We're just waiting for the judges to get their scores together...

Yarde vs Arthur – R12

Arthur's corner: "Why are you f***ing sitting there, we told you to get off the ropes!"

Final round and there is very little between these two, this round is going to be absolutely massive!

Better start from Arthur as he heeds his corners advice and starts working from the centre of the ring, landing a nice combo.

But Yarde is so physically strong that he just shoves him back onto the ropes and gets back to work.

Arthur can't get out of there and with 90 seconds to go Yarde is definitely on top.

You can hear the screams from both corners as the two fighters continue to engage in a gruelling physical battle.

Yarde impressing with more shots to the body but and much, much more activity, even if they aren't the cleanest shots around.

Arthur still continues to throw and lands a beautiful uppercut that just knocks Yarde's head back.

Into the final 20 seconds and both continue to throw.

The final bell goes! I have absolutely no idea what way that one is going to go.

Arthur had the first half of the fight and Yarde the second half, but it could go any way.

Yarde vs Arthur – R11

Penultimate round.

"Excellent, keep it up, this is your time now," are the words coming from Yarde's corner.

Yarde is right back into this now and is looking much bouncier and lively with two rounds to go.

The pair then get right back on top of each other and both continue to throw and have limited success.

Yarde lands a nice straight right on the nose but there's not much power in that one.

Arthur continues to be stuck on the ropes and throw and throw and throw.

More to the body from Yarde and at the end of that round he starts landing a lot of shots.

Arthur no longer moving out the way like he did!

One of those body shots absolutely crunched Arthur and he does not look happy going back to his corner!

Massive round incoming!

Yarde vs Arthur – R10

Three rounds left here, I have Arthur ahead but Yarde is still looking really dangerous and has clawed some rounds back in the last couple.

The fight falls back into the same pattern with Arthur backed up against the ropes and Yarde trying to find some shots.

Yarde is dictating the style but you couldn't say he's controlling the fight.

Arthur continues to not allow Yarde to land much clean and he is throwing decent shots back that will also have the judges impressed.

However, it's not clear how much of a physical toll this will be taking on the Mancunian, who is being bodied by the barrel-chested Londoner.

Case in point when Arthur has the chance to spin out of his position on the ropes but is too tired to get out of there.

Yarde continues to work the body as well as upstairs and Arthur's legs just start to look heavy as he trudges back to the corner.

He didn't like that at all.

Yarde vs Arthur – R9

Yarde is still piling forward but he's not causing much trouble at all.

He continues to put in more workrate but the shots aren't coming clean and Arthur is comfortable working defensively off the ropes and landing counters.

There are some good shots coming in by both men.

Arthur manages to get a bit of distance and lands a lovely left before Yarde comes right back onto his shoulder to try and work up close.

Both men are putting everything into this.

Sr speaks

A quick word from Chris Eubank Sr between rounds...

"I'm here, whether I'm in the corner or sat ringside, I'm here."

He then addresses Conor Benn directly to camera: "Conor, it's not fair to say I don't like my son, I love my son..

"I may not like some of his ways, but I love him."

Yarde vs Arthur - R8

Lovely start to the round from Arthur who puts together another good two-piece that Yarde has no answer to.

Yarde then snaps back with a strong left hand but he's struggling to land loads clean.

Arthur then offers another three-punch combo - two to the body and a short hook to the jaw - that scores well.

He again lands a good combo as Yarde really struggles to evade his punches.

Just as I type that, Yarde muscles his rival onto the ropes and lands two clean shots that would have hurt.

Arthur is comfortable on the ropes and the pair are starting to land on each other a bit more - Arthur lands a lovely left and then Yarde hits back with a right.

This is really warming up now.

Yarde vs Arthur - R7

Yarde again now abandoning that early plan to work at range and shuts the space with a high guard to get up close and personal.

The pair are shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the ring but there's very little clean work.

Referee Steve Gray then brings them in for a long word - he doesn't want them so close if they are not actually going to offer any work.

Yarde then lands a really nice shot but it's arguably his only scoring shot of the round.

Arthur again finishes strong and, for me, he's pulling ahead in this one.

Yarde vs Arthur - R6

Double jab from Arthur to start the round with both making their mark.

The ref then has a word with Arthur, but it's not that clear why.

Arthur will certainly be the happier of the two with the way this fight has gone so far.

Yarde might need to step up the pace or at least unload some combos, Arthur is reading everything he's throwing at the moment.

Yarde then manages to get on top of Arthur and has him in close and on the ropes - but he's not really getting in any clean work.

Definitely a change in tactics by Yarde but it hasn't brought any significant success in that round.

Arthur defending and evading brilliantly well.

Yarde vs Arthur - R5

It's still really cagey but you can't take your eyes off this one, especially knowing Yarde has that devastating power.

Arthur continues to use that jab well and just keeping Yarde well at bay.

Yarde hasn't really landed more than just one big shot despite all the work around the ring and with his body.

It's then Arthur who unleashes another lovely right, although it's just the single shot and he isn't able to really follow it with anything.

I'm not going to second guess the judges but I think Arthur is having the better of this.

Yarde vs Arthur - R4

Yarde starts working behind his own jab but Arthur just steps up his own pace and goes in with a three-piece.

Maybe a sign that he is settling into this fight and ready to start opening up a bit more?

Lyndon Arthur then has a little look at that giant logo on the canvas - perhaps a sign that the canvas is getting a bit slippery again.

Yarde continues to work behind twitchy feints and movements but he's not landing much clean so far.

Yarde then comes in but he leaves himself too far open and Arthur unleashes a perfect one-two counter hook just to end the round.

Lovely little combo that was.

It's tight but I'd say Arthur is edging this.
