The first official face-off between Chris Eubank Junior and Conor Benn in more than two-and-a-half years ended in chaos on Tuesday evening as Eubank slapped his rival with an egg as they came head-to-head.
The pair had been due to meet back in October 2022, before the bout was called off just days before it was due to take place due to Benn failing a drugs test. Benn has always maintained his innocence, blaming the adverse result on him having consumed a large amount of eggs in the build-up to the fight.
With Benn now free to face his rival, the pair are set to finally meet in the ring on the 26th of April at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and – following a tense first press conference for the fight – Eubank produced an egg from his pocket and smashed it on Benn’s head.
Predictably, carnage then broke out on stage with security having to restrain an enraged Benn from attacking Eubank in the aftermath. Once he had been escorted off stage, Eubank took to social media to confirm his reason for assaulting Benn on stage.
“Apparently egg contamination was the reason for his two failed drugs tests. So I contaminated him with an egg.”
