Overview

• Chris Eubank Jr. was fined £100,000 ($130,000) by the British Boxing Board of Control for slapping Conor Benn with an egg during a February press conference in Manchester.
• The incident references Benn's 2022 failed drug test, which the WBC attributed to elevated egg consumption as a plausible explanation for the banned substance Clomiphene in his system.
• Eubank Jr. defended his actions on social media, stating the fine was 'worth every penny' and mocking Benn with the phrase 'Live by the egg, die by the egg.'
• The April 26 fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium marks a continuation of the rivalry between the sons of British boxing legends Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr., who clashed in the 1990s.
• Eubank Jr. also opened up about his strained relationship with his father, citing personal and professional challenges, and expressed hope his father would attend the upcoming fight.
