Eubank Jr vs Benn press conference LIVE: Rivals to face off again after ‘egg slap’ chaos

No, the worst moment might have been when he threatened a journalist, saying: “If somebody starts asking me trick questions, I’ll throw you out the room, do you hear me? I’ll drag you by the neck outside.”

Thankfully, Benn later apologised and gave the journalist a hug – “a cuddle”, which was begrudgingly accepted.

Tensions were high (you might have gathered) even before Benn’s first press conference with Chris Eubank Jr began.

So, this has been the main talking point in the boxing world this week.

Here’s how the moment played out, as Eubank Jr slapped Benn in the face with an egg…

For the second time this week, Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn will meet at a press conference for their grudge match.

Ahead of their April clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the British rivals will share a stage at that same venue, two days after their first press conference ended in chaos.

That tense event was punctuated by Eubank Jr slapping Benn in the face with an egg, a reference to the WBC’s 2023 claim that “elevated consumption of eggs” was a “reasonable excuse” for Benn’s adverse drug-test results in 2022.

Those adverse findings thwarted Eubank Jr vs Benn at the 11th hour in October 2022, but the foes will finally square off in April, more than three decades after their fathers settled their own bitter grudge.
