Eubank Jr, 35, was referring to Benn’s failed drug tests in 2022, which derailed the boxers’ planned clash in October of that year. In 2023, the WBC claimed that “elevated consumption of eggs” was a “reasonable excuse” for Benn’s adverse results.

As the fallout from egg-gate continues, Eubank was forced to go though a security check before Thursday's press conference where he escalated his verbal attacks on Benn and promoter Eddie Hearn.

A furious Conor Benn had to be held back by security after his opponent Chris Eubank Jr. smashed an egg across his face during their extraordinary boxing match face-off on Tuesday.
