In a social media post on Monday morning, Benn said: “I watched the fight back. I personally had me up a point. I wouldn’t have moaned at – you know – a point either way, but four points is a bit wide in my opinion.
“But we keep it moving, I ain’t going to cry over no spilt milk – I’ve just got to do better. Just got to do better. Work harder, if that’s possible, work smarter and do the best I can.
“We’ve got to keep it moving, we’re just getting started baby!”
The 28-year-old admitted after Saturday’s loss that defeat was “hard to swallow” and that he was seeking “revenge” against Eubank, with terms understood to have been agreed for a potential rematch later this year.
