CHRIS EUBANK JR has been frisked for eggs after arriving for his second press conference with Conor Benn. The two hated rivals are set to meet in a Tottenham Hotspur Stadium grudge match on April 26. Next Gen caused a wild fracas on Tuesday after slapping his hated rival around the face with an EGG.
The pair faced-off after a heated war of words between Eubank and Benn's promoter Eddie Hearn. Eubank claimed the stunt was a reference to Benn's failed drugs test from 2022. The WBC infamously suggested Benn's failed test for clomiphene could have been related to eating eggs.

A smiling Eubank was met by security as he prepared to walk onto the stage on Thursday. The bouncer then whipped out a paddle labelled "egg detector" and proceeded to frisk the 35-year-old down. One fan laughed on X: "Where can I get an egg detector? Asking for a friend.".

But the bout was cancelled after Benn failed two drug tests. Both fighters again engaged in a face-off during Tuesday's tense presser.
