Eubank Jr and Benn Press Conference Chaos in Manchester

News summary

The boxing world was taken by storm when Chris Eubank Jr. slapped Conor Benn with an egg during a face-off at a press conference in Manchester, referencing Benn's previous drugs ban attributed to excessive egg consumption, according to the WBC. The incident led to a brawl among the teams and interventions by security, sparking discussions about possible repercussions from the British Boxing Board of Control, with a fine being a potential consequence. Tensions also rose between promoters Eddie Hearn and Ben Shalom, with Hearn labeling the act a 'b**** move' and warning of further confrontations. The fight, scheduled for April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, is a continuation of a long-standing family rivalry, with both fighters following in the footsteps of their famous fathers, Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn. Despite the chaos, the upcoming match remains highly anticipated, with additional security measures planned for future press events.
