Chris Eubank Jr slapped Conor Benn in the face with an egg as the two bitter rivals clashed during a bad-tempered press conference for their upcoming fight on Tuesday evening.
‘What he’s done is he’s taken an egg to a press conference, he’s sat at the press conference, the whole time, with an egg, and he’s slapped Conor Benn in the eye with an egg.
Eubank Jr and Benn are due to hold another press conference on Thursday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the showpiece event will be staged in two months’ time.
The feud involving Eubank Jr and Benn stretches back a number of years and mirrors the rivalry their two legendary fathers, Chris and Nigel, shared during their peak years in boxing.
The brawl broke out after a fiery presser involving the two teams, in which Eubank Jr, not for the first time, attacked Eddie Hearn, accusing Benn’s promoter of trying to ‘sabotage’ the event.
