Chris Eubank Jr slapped rival Conor Benn with an egg as their personal enmity boiled over in a press conference ahead of their highly-anticipated middleweight clash in April.

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.
