Eubank Jr said inside the ring: "I knew I was capable of that, I just needed someone to bring that out of me. I'm not going to lie, I didn't expect that he'd be the guy to do that.
"But the fact that our fathers did what they did all those years ago, it brings about a different soul and spirit into you, and that's what we showed tonight."
