Benn Celebrates Eubank Revenge Win with Jamaican Singer Conroy Smith’s “Dangerous”

Conor Benn celebrated one of the biggest nights of his career by posting a celebratory photo on Instagram soundtracked by Jamaican artist Conroy Smith’s 1987 dance-hall classic Dangerous. In the post, Benn beams with adrenaline as he’s hoisted on shoulders inside the ring, gloves raised, sweat glistening under arena lights.  “Dangerous, I am dangerous…” — perfectly captured the mood of a fighter who had just exorcised a personal and historical ghost.

Released in 1988 on the progressive Redman label, Conroy Smith’s Dangerous stands as one of the defining digital-dancehall anthems of its era. Driven by a crisp, electronic riddim and Smith’s assertive delivery, the track became the singer’s biggest hit and an enduring staple of Jamaican dance-hall. Producer Hugh “Redman” James has said the song continues to earn money decades later — a testament to its longevity and cultural staying power.

The song is built on bravado and self-assertion, Smith performed it at Sting 1988, a stage show built around lyrical rivalry.

 The Fight: Benn vs. Eubank Jr 

The rematch between the British boxer Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr on November 15, 2025, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was drenched in history, rivalry and high emotion. Earlier in the year, Eubank had defeated Benn via unanimous decision — a painful setback given the decades-long family rivalry originating from Nigel Benn vs. Chris Eubank Sr in the 1990s. This second fight was marketed as redemption, legacy, closure — and Benn delivered on all fronts.

From the opening rounds, Benn fought like a man on a mission. He applied pressure, displayed sharper footwork, and out-hustled a subdued Eubank Jr who never matched the explosiveness of their first encounter. The judges’ scorecards reflected the one-sided nature of the bout:
119-107, 116-110, and 118-108, all for Benn.

But the dramatic pinnacle came in the final round. Benn dropped Eubank first with a straight left, then unleashed a furious combination that sent him down again — a definitive exclamation point on a performance that erased doubts and settled scores. Although Eubank beat the count, the fight was over in every meaningful sense.

For Benn, this victory may prove even sweeter than any future world title. The emotional stakes, the revenge narrative, the generational subtext — all made this win uniquely defining. As some observers noted afterward, even a championship might not deliver the same satisfaction as finally putting the Eubank rivalry to rest.
