Eubank sustained a nasty-looking cut above his eye in the final few rounds but battled on for a famous victory.
After the fight, his doctor ordered him to hospital and Jr could not attend his post-fight press conference.
A rumour began to spread of a serious jaw injury, with Benn even saying: “I wish him well. I know he’s gone to the hospital, I have heard he’s got a broken jaw do I wish him a speedy recovery.”
But Eubank’s promoter Ben Shalom has provided fans with an update on his health and ended concerns about his jaw.
He said in a statement: “I’m pleased to confirm that Chris is doing well and currently resting.
“There is no truth to the rumours regarding a broken jaw.
“As part of his standard post-fight protocol, Chris went to hospital for precautionary checks to monitor his vitals and ensure everything is in order.
“They take these measures very seriously, given everything they have experienced in the past.
“This process is something they now prioritise after every fight.
“Chris and Conor gave absolutely everything in what was the biggest legacy fight of all-time.
“With their fathers standing proudly behind them, it was a moment that will forever be stamped in sporting history.”
