Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn's Pre-Fight Tensions Escalate with Egg Incident

Eubank Jr. defends egg-throwing stunt at Benn over past doping controversy as the rivals prepare for their April 26 bout.

Chris Eubank Jr. hit Conor Benn with an egg during a press event, referencing Benn's failed drug tests in 2022, which were later attributed to 'highly elevated egg consumption' by the WBC.
The incident sparked a brawl involving Benn's father, Nigel Benn, who grabbed Eubank Jr. by the neck; Eubank Jr. later warned Nigel Benn against further physical confrontations.
Benn has been cleared by UK Anti-Doping and will fight under a British Boxing Board of Control license after a two-year legal battle following the cancellation of their 2022 fight.
Eubank Jr., who has fought three times since 2022, vowed to donate £50,000 from his purse to fighters from the canceled undercard, urging Benn and promoter Eddie Hearn to contribute as well.
The long-anticipated fight between the rivals, whose fathers shared a storied rivalry in the 1990s, is set to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26.
