Who’s Winning The Battle of The Cars?
On April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the legendary Eubank vs. Benn rivalry will be reignited – a much-anticipated grudge match between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr, the sons of the infamous 1990 Eubank vs Benn WBO middleweight championship rivals.
Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn fought in some of the decade’s most dramatic battles, with Eubank triumphing after nine rounds in the first bout back in 1990, and the second fight ending in a well-earned draw.
Their protégés and next in line to carry the family name to victory, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn, are no strangers to drama themselves. In February this year, Eubank smashed an egg across his rival's face during their first face-off before their fight on April 26.
The pair were last scheduled to bout back in October 2022 at London’s 02 arena, but the fight was called off 48 hours before the fighters touched gloves. Benn tested positive for doping, and the pair have been itching to get back in the ring since.
The two have an impressive boxing lineage, and as far as fighting goes, the pair can go blow for blow – but when it comes to cars, who holds the belts? Both fighters are known petrolheads, frequently showcasing their cars on social media. But who truly takes the top spot when it comes to motoring? One of the leading car financing lease companies, Anglo Scottish Asset Finance, have compared some of the finest cars in their collections to find out.
Chris Eubank Jr.
A renowned petrolhead, Eubank Jr. also boasts an extensive car collection. His car collection might just beat Benn’s, but it’s a tough call, especially since there are so many sought-after cars in both men’s garages.

Lamborghini Huracan
The avant-garde stylings of a Lamborghini are perfect for a man raised under the flamboyant wing of Chris Eubank Sr; with top speeds of over 200mph and reaching 0-60 in just 2.3 seconds, it’s the perfect car for a speed freak. Kitted out in a tasteful matte black, the Huracan Performante edition costs £215,000, and is reportedly one of Eubank’s favourites.
McLaren 720s
Back in July 2019, Eubank posted a video showing his new, one-of-a-kind McLaren 720s being delivered. Decked out in a cherry red colourway, Eubank’s new motor had been modified by German luxury brand, Mansory. The McLaren is worth a cool £227,000 from stock, with the luxury modification job sure to cost a good bit on top! Like Benn, he also has personalised plates, with the licence ‘EU13ANK.’
BMW i8
Bought as a 29th birthday present to himself, Eubank Jr.’s BMW i8 is the only hybrid in either of the pair’s garages. With a top speed of 155mph and 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds, the i8 is almost restrained compared to the Huracan, but it still comes in at a pricey £127,105. It’s also a beast under the bonnet, with 228bhp from the three-cylinder engine and an extra 141bhp coming from an electric motor.
Mercedes-Benz G63
When Eubank Jr. was interviewed by Top Gear back in 2019, he called the Mercedes G63 – a.k.a. the G Wagon – his dream car. Anglo Scottish can now reveal his dream has come true. The boxer is now the proud owner of a Mercedes-Benz G63, for which prices start at a touch above £130,000.
Range Rover Urban SVR
Eubank is also the owner of a Range Rover Urban SVR, which he has owned since 2017. Not one to blend into the crowd, Eubank’s Range Rover appears in a blacked-out paint job with an onyx bodykit, for that extra bit of prestige.
Conor Benn
Pictured below atop Benn’s pride and joy, a stunning black Rolls-Royce Wraith – with custom plates, of course – Benn has been known to flex his car collection on Instagram, a testament to his progress in the boxing game.
Benn’s 23 wins, 0 losses, and 14 knockouts record has netted him some healthy paydays, and his car collection reflects that. Which cars can be found in Conor Benn’s garage?

Rolls-Royce Wraith
The most powerful Rolls-Royce ever, the Wraith goes from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and boasts 624bhp. Despite this, however, the Wraith exudes a charm and class that differentiates it from other supercars.
With a wallet-busting RRP of £258,000 – plus the mod cons and blacked-out grill, which undoubtedly cost a pretty penny – Benn’s primary motor is not cheap.
Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG
Purchased as a reward after a landmark victory over former WBO world champion Chris Algieri, Benn’s Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG offers the boxer a rawer alternative to the classier Wraith. Retail prices average at around £188,000 in the UK, so it’s a good bit cheaper than the Wraith, but certainly an eye-watering amount for you or I…
Mercedes-Benz GLE
Benn is also the owner of a Mercedes-Benz GLE, which his wife, Victoria, drives day-to-day. Having previously owned a Range Rover, the Mercedes-Benz GLE – which has a RRP range of £75,455 to £90,700 – became the Benn family’s go-to 4x4.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
For most of us, owning a ‘weekend car’ is the dream. However, Benn not only has a weekend car – amongst his fleet of other motors – he has a Porsche 911 4S weekend car! His dad, Nigel, was famously the owner of a white Porsche back in the 1990s, and Conor is following in his footsteps, with the personalised plate ‘K0 13ENN’
So, as two of Britain’s leading fighters prepare to go head-to-head, we’ll let you be the judge when it comes to their garages. Is Eubank winning by a stoppage? Maybe it’s a knockout for Benn? What do you think? Whatever happens, April 26 is shaping up to be one for the history books.
