But the Brighton boxer, 35, launched a blistering verbal assault on Benn — and promoter Eddie Hearn — over the fighter’s two failed drug tests in 2022, which he blamed on eating contaminated eggs.
During Tuesday’s aggro in Manchester, Benn’s famous dad, former two-weight world champ Nigel, grabbed Eubank Jr by the throat as security desperately tried to separate the warring camps.
CHRIS EUBANK JR refused to apologise for smashing an egg on bitter rival Conor Benn’s face, insisting: “He deserved the embarrassment.”.
And Eubank warned Benn Sr: “You put your hand on my neck but I will give you a pass.
Hearn and broadcaster DAZN were in control of the original October 2022 fight that was axed after Benn’s failed tests.
