Chris Eubank Jr. Hits Conor Benn With Egg During Heated Press Conference

The altercation highlights lingering tensions over Benn's past doping controversy ahead of their April 26 fight in London.

  • Chris Eubank Jr. slapped Conor Benn with an egg during their Manchester press conference, referencing Benn's 2022 failed drug tests linked to 'elevated egg consumption.'
  • The press conference descended into chaos as security restrained both fighters, while their promoters, Eddie Hearn and Ben Shalom, also clashed on stage.
  • A planned face-off for the following day was canceled due to security concerns, though a subsequent press event is set to proceed with heightened precautions.
  • The April 26 bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium marks the rescheduling of their 2022 fight, which was postponed after Benn's doping scandal.
  • This fight continues the legacy of their fathers, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr., who fought twice in the 1990s in one of British boxing's most famous rivalries.
