Chris Eubank Jr. Fined $130K for Egg Incident With Conor Benn

The fine follows a heated press conference where Eubank struck Benn with an egg, reigniting tensions ahead of their April 26 bout in London.

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.
