CHRIS EUBANK JR'S press conference erupted after Conor Benn accused him of threatening his dad Nigel. Just two days beforehand, Eubank had smashed an EGG into Benn's face in a reference to his failed drug tests in 2022. Chaos ensued on stage with Benn's legendary father Nigel grabbing Eubank by the throat - something he apologised for.

But Eubank, 35, said: "I've gotta just say something. "I understand the frustration and the heat that you were experiencing a couple of days ago after I egged Conor. "I understand, but you did put your hand around my neck. And I'm going to give you a pass because of what happened.

"But, I'm just letting you know if your hand ever touches me again, you won't get it back.". And enraged Conor, 28, then shouted: "Shut your f***ing mouth. Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Threaten my dad. "Oi, silly b****s, threaten my dad again, see what happens to you.".

But Eubank responded: "I'm not threatening him, I'm just letting him know.". CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS. Nigel - who had two legendary fights with Eubank Sr - said: "Con, leave it, I can handle this. I'm old school, mate. I had this with his dad.

"I'm old school, mate. This is not a problem. I understand and I apologise for doing that, mate. I really am sorry that I done that. "But you put your hands on my son.". The WBC infamously suggested a high intake of eggs could have caused Benn's positive tests for clomiphene - which is known to boost testosterone.

But Benn has since had his UK Anti-Doping ban lifted after an investigation - allowing him to box on. And Eubank - now facing a British Boxing Board of Control probe - failed to apologise for his egg slap stunt. He said: “If I had the opportunity I’d do it again.
