In a dramatic turn of events, Chris Eubank Jr hurled an egg at Conor Benn during a press conference in Manchester on Tuesday. The incident comes two months before their eagerly awaited showdown set for April 28 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The fight, initially called off in 2022, was postponed after Benn's drug tests showed trace amounts of clomifene. However, Benn was cleared by the World Boxing Council in 2023, citing high egg consumption as the likely cause.

The face-off between these sons of former British boxing rivals promises excitement after the UK Anti-Doping body lifted Benn's suspension. With tension escalating, fans expect an electrifying encounter this spring.
