An All out brawl took place after Eubank puts his hands on Conor Benn at the Manchester press conference.
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn held the first of two press conferences this week for there April 26th meeting at The Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium.
The two have come face to face for the first time since the fight was announced but it has ended in a brawl after Eubank Jr hit Benn.
Eubank struck Conor Benn with a pre planted egg when the two came face to face.
The brawl then was started, Conor Benn couldn’t quite get to Eubank with many security guards bundling between the two but Nigel Benn managed to roll back the years and catch Eubank.
Nigel caught Eubank by the neck holding him up momentarily before the two were separated by many security guards.
The incident has sparked controversy throughout the boxing world.
Eubank Jr is now being investigated by the BBBofC which The Ring has confirmed.
“Following last night’s press conference between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn, The British Boxing Board of Control has confirmed punishments could follow after Chris Eubank Jr slapped Conor Benn with an egg.”
The board are not the only ones unhappy with Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn fuming at Ben Shalom saying he must’ve known about Eubanks intentions.
Hearn went straight for Shalom when the incident happened claiming in an interview after “You are very lucky to be talking to me!”.
The two have gone back and forth over social media and interviews with Shalom claiming he knew nothing about the incident.
Eubank In Trouble ?
Conor Benn seems to think otherwise calling Shalom out over social media but has ensured no charges will be pressed.
“Don’t worry satsuma head I won’t be pressing charges I’m not a fanny Devin Haney. I’ll be getting it back in (blood)”
The one positive for both fighters is it seems like the incident has brought the fight to another level of popularity.
Eddie Hearn has said over 100,000 people joined presale links this afternoon.
