Chaos Erupts as Chris Eubank Jr Slaps Conor Benn with an Egg!
Wow, boxing fans, this one got wild! The much-anticipated face-off between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn turned into absolute chaos when Eubank Jr did the unthinkable—he slapped Benn right in the face with an egg! Yeah, you heard that right. An actual egg.
It all went down at a heated press conference in Manchester ahead of their massive showdown on April 26. Tensions were already high, and let’s be honest, we expected some trash talk. But an egg to the face? That’s next level. The moment Eubank Jr made his move, the stage erupted into a frenzy. Security had to rush in, and things got so out of hand that even Benn’s father, the legendary Nigel Benn, and promoter Eddie Hearn were fuming.
Now, let’s talk about why this fight is so personal. This isn’t just about two fighters—it’s about legacy. Their fathers, Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn, had a legendary rivalry back in the ’90s. The bad blood between the families has clearly been passed down, and now, their sons are taking it to another level. But this egg incident? It’s made things even more intense.

And if you thought that was the end of it—think again. In the aftermath of the chaos, the British Boxing Board of Control announced they were looking into the incident, and Eubank Jr could face disciplinary action. Meanwhile, Thursday’s planned face-off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been canceled due to security concerns. Promoters are making it crystal clear: these two need to be kept apart until fight night.
Eddie Hearn, visibly frustrated, said it’s no longer just about hyping the fight—it’s now a matter of keeping these two from tearing each other apart before they even step into the ring. "It’s attack on sight now," Hearn admitted. "We might not even be able to do Thursday’s press conference."
And let’s not forget the irony in all this. Benn, who was previously involved in a doping controversy, was cleared after the WBC suggested his failed drug tests might have been caused by—you guessed it—overconsumption of eggs. So Eubank Jr’s choice of weapon? Definitely not a coincidence.
With all this drama, one thing is certain: April 26 is going to be explosive. The fight, set for Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, sees Eubank Jr, the more experienced middleweight, take on Benn, who is stepping up in weight for this grudge match. But after everything that’s happened, this fight isn’t just about skill—it’s about pride, payback, and personal vendettas.
So, boxing fans, mark your calendars. If the press conferences are this intense, imagine what’s going to happen when they’re actually allowed to throw punches for real. You won’t want to miss this one! 🥊🔥
