Eubank Jr. Slaps Benn with Egg at Manchester Press Conference

During a press conference in Manchester, Chris Eubank Jr. provocatively smashed an egg into Conor Benn's face, escalating their rivalry ahead of their scheduled fight on April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This incident references Benn's past doping controversy, where he was cleared of intentional doping after the World Boxing Council attributed his failed drug tests to high egg consumption. The fight, initially set for 2022, was postponed due to Benn's positive test for clomifene, a fertility drug. Both fighters exchanged heated words during the event, with Eubank Jr. taunting Benn about his drug tests, leading to a chaotic scene that required security intervention. The rivalry between Eubank Jr. and Benn echoes that of their fathers, who had legendary bouts in the 1990s, adding historical significance to the upcoming match. The incident has heightened public interest in the April bout, with fans eagerly anticipating the clash between these two boxing heirs.
