Chris Eubank Jr. and Connor Benn may have a few weeks until their highly anticipated fight, but their rivalry is escalating, evident from a recent television appearance where tensions flared dramatically. The two fighters were guests on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” to discuss their upcoming match and revisit a controversial incident where Eubank startled Benn by smashing an egg against his head.
During a promotional event in Manchester last month, Eubank’s unexpected egg assault incited a chaotic exchange, with Benn visibly upset and prompting security to intervene to prevent a physical altercation. The interview served as a platform to delve deeper into their contentious relationship, including the infamous egg incident.
During the show, security was once again positioned between Eubank and Benn as they recounted their previous encounters. The situation intensified when Eubank allegedly threatened to knock out Benn’s father, former boxer Nigel Benn, leading to Connor rising from his seat, ready to confront Eubank while the two exchanged heated words.
In one notable tweet, Eubank expressed disdain for those who use drugs, implying a deeper discussion around integrity and respect in the sport. His tweet read: “Kids if you ever use drugs you will lose all your credibility, your respect & you will shame your family name AND just like @ConorNigel I will never shake your hand.” This sentiment adds a layer of personal conflict and intensity to their rivalry.
As the interview progressed, it became clear that the animosity between the two fighters is reaching a boiling point. Benn cautioned Eubank that he had crossed a line by involving his father, while Eubank retorted that Benn’s decision to engage in the matchup was a misstep on his part.
With the fight scheduled for April 26 in London, both fighters appear to be thoroughly prepared and energized for the showdown, which promises to be as explosive as their recent interactions.
