CONOR BENN earned a big points victory against unknown Peter Dobson and then delivered an X-rated stunner against rival Chris Eubank Jr.

But things got even more nasty after the match, when Benn defeated his hated enemy Eubank Jr. called “ap***y”.

The Brit was unable to fight on home soil after being suspended for failing two drugs tests, which meant his fight with Eubank Jr.

Benn has consistently maintained his innocence.

However, he was allowed to continue his career in the United States, beating Rodolfo Orozco on points in September.

And tonight in Las Vegas he defeated the 33-year-old Dobson, who was 16-0 before this match.

The judges scored the fight 119-109, 118-110, 118-110 in his favor as Benn won by unanimous decision.

The Chelsea Ballroom at Sin City's Cosmopolitan Hotel provided the backdrop for Benn's latest victory.

He marched to the ring to the Fugees classic 'Ready or Not' – a message to his rival for what was to come.

Benn came flying out of the traps in the first round and showed his speed with a vicious left hook that rocked Dobson.

The second round was a similar story, as the New Yorker from the Bronx struggled with the Brit's intensity.

However, Dobson stayed in the fight and showed his mettle with an overhand right hand of his own at the start of round three.

In the fifth round, both boxers traded blows in what became a slugging fest.

Despite being pushed back on the ropes, Dobson was not allowed to be put down.

Benn quelled any belief that he was tired in the seventh by breaking out of the traps just as the bell rang and then landing a combo straight up the middle before a left hook stung him further.

As the fight progressed, it was clear that Dobson would need a knockout.

Knowing that spurred him on further, and he wasn't deterred – even though Benn looked the more polished fighter.

They traded blows in the 11th, before going toe-to-toe in an incredible 12th round as the crowd cheered their efforts.

But Benn remained calm and fought fire with fire to finally get the judge's decision.
