Benn Treats Himself to £280K Rolls After Eubank Payday - "Fat Boy Money" Despite Loss

By Lewis Barnett 5 May, 2025 5 mins read 41 Views

God. Nothing says "I'm doing just fine after getting my arse handed to me" quite like dropping nearly 300 grand on a Rolls-Royce, does it?

CONOR BENN might've lost the actual fight against Chris Eubank Jr at Tottenham's stadium, but his bank account certainly came out swinging. The 28-year-old boxer just treated himself to a shiny new Rolls-Royce Cullinan after pocketing a cool £8 million from that grudge match. Not too shabby for a night's work that ended with someone else's hand raised.

Hear the Summary

When Losing Feels Like Winning (To Your Wallet)

I spotted the pics on Benn's Instagram yesterday - proper flashy affair at the Mayfair showroom with his wife Victoria by his side. The pair looked like they'd won teh lottery, all smiles and kisses while collecting keys to a pristine white Cullinan with custom orange interior. That's what £280K gets you these days.

Let's be honest. Most of us would happily take a few punches to the face for that kind of payday.

What The Hell Does One Even DO With A Rolls Umbrella?

The showroom experience looked properly bougie - they even included one of those famous Rolls-Royce umbrellas. (I've always wondered if anyone actually uses those things or if they just sit in the car door forever as a flex.)

Nice touch with the welcome screen that read "THE DESTROYER" when he fired it up. Bit ironic considering he got destroyed on the scorecards - all three judges gave it to Eubank Jr 116-112. Ouch.

From Boxing Ring to Bling

Benn made sure to flash his infamous "Not Guilty" necklace during the handover - that £100K piece of jewelry he's been sporting since his boxing ban drama back in 2022. Subtle as a brick through a window, our Conor.

My mate who works at a luxury car dealership in London texted me this morning: "These boxers always come in right after a big fight. Win or lose, they're spending." Apparently it's like clockwork.

The whole thing reminds me of 2019 when I blew my first decent commission check on a watch I absolutely couldn't afford. Except my "splurge" was about £279,500 less than Benn's.

Miami, Martin Brundle, and Money Moves

Benn had barely unpacked from his Miami trip where he was spotted at the F1 race. Poor bloke got caught in one of those awkward Martin Brundle grid walks where Brundle actually congratulated him on losing to Eubank Jr. Talk about adding insult to injury!

But when you're cruising home in a Rolls with "Fat Boy Money" (his Instagram caption, not mine), I guess those little embarrassments just roll right off.

Victoria seemed properly chuffed with the new wheels. There's something weirdly romantic about watching your husband spend fight money on ridiculous luxury goods... I suppose?

Whatever helps him sleep at night after those scorecards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an age limit for boxing?

Professional boxing has age restrictions. Most boxing commissions require that boxers be 18 years or older to compete professionally. There is no upper limit to the age that a person can safely compete, but there are factors such as physical abilities and health. Before taking up a sport professionally, older athletes should be assessed thoroughly for their fitness and risks.

What should a potential boxing trainer or coach look like?

A boxing coach should have experience in the sport, be able to work with other boxers successfully, have a compatible coaching style, as well as a solid understanding of its technical and strategic components. A good boxing trainer will also focus on safety, personal growth, and conditioning. Additionally, it is essential to have a coach who communicates effectively and motivates you to reach your full potential in boxing.

How long usually does it take for a person to become professional boxer.

The time it takes to become a professional boxer can vary widely. It depends on a person's ability, adaptability, and quality of training. It may take several years for a dedicated amateur athlete to reach the level of a professional. Some talents will develop faster than others.

What is the minimum training required for professional Boxing?

For someone to train professionally in boxing, they need to be disciplined, physically fit and willing to learn. Initial training involves mastering the fundamentals, including stance, footwork, punches, and defensive techniques. It's imperative to join a reputable boxing gym with experienced trainers who understand the nuances of professional competition. Prior to competing, most novice boxers undergo a rigorous training regimen that includes technique drills, sparring, and conditioning.

Is it possible to learn boxing professionally for anyone?

Boxing is a sport that many people can enjoy, but not everyone has what it takes for them to compete on a professional stage. Professional boxing is an art that requires a combination of talent with physical ability and mental toughness. The sport has inherent risks that potential boxers will have to be willing and able to take. A thorough examination by a trainer is a good way to determine whether or not someone has potential for a boxing career.

What kind of diet would you recommend for a new boxer?

A beginner boxer should eat a nutritiously balanced diet to fuel intense workouts and encourage recovery. It is usually recommended to consume carbohydrates for energy as well as lean proteins that promote muscle growth and repair. Healthy fats should also be consumed for good health. It is also important to consume vitamins and minerals as well. Consulting a sports nutritionist to develop a diet plan that is tailored for the boxer's weight class and training schedule can be beneficial.

How important is physical training in professional boxing?

Professional boxing requires a high level of physical conditioning. The sport demands a high level of strength, speed and endurance.

A boxer's performance in the ring and ability to train is severely compromised without superior physical conditioning.
