An ill-tempered press conference ended in bizarre fashion as Eubank Jr cracked an egg in Benn’s face in reference to his failed drugs tests.
Chris Eubank Jr cracked an egg in Conor Benn’s face to cap off an explosive press conference, two months out from their grudge match in London.
That was the source of Eubank Jr’s unique attack at the end of Tuesday’s press conference, which almost prompted a brawl – with both boxers held back by security.
Benn, 28, was only recently cleared fully, and he will box Eubank Jr, 35, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 26 April.
Benn, who tested positive for the banned substance clomifene in 2022, was cleared by the WBC in 2023 after it said an “elevated consumption of eggs” was a “reasonable explanation” for his adverse finding.
