Eubank and Benn will fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 26 April, but had originally been due to face off in October 2022 before Benn’s failed tests forced the fight to be called off.
Eddie Hearn shoved rival promoter Ben Shalom amid chaotic scenes between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn on Tuesday night.
During a heated exchange in Manchester, Eubank had already made reference to two drugs tests Benn failed in 2022 due to what the World Boxing Council called a “highly elevated consumption of eggs” – an offence for which he has since been cleared.
Chris Eubank Jr slapped rival Conor Benn with an egg as their personal enmity boiled over in Manchester.
Later Hearn explained that he was angry because he believed his rival knew about Eubank’s egg plot, but Shalom insisted he had no idea what his fighter was planning.
