Chris eubank jr. Posted a photo of his jacket, which he smuggled into a bag full of raw eggs to hit Conor Benn during their face in the Manchester Central.
The egg
It is unclear why he needed a whole bag of eggs, but he could have extra ammunition if one of them breaks. He held it in the contemporary press conference to promote them on April 26 at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium in London, England. Eubank jr. (34-3, 25 COs) was quite fickle with his planning. Benn had no idea that he would be nailed by the egg.
Promoter Eddie Hearn says he wanted him to choose a larger venue because he expected the 62,850-seat Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium to be sold out by Friday.
Eubank JR-Benn is expected to have two fights, and whoever has the victory in the second fight will face Canelo Alvarez in 2026 for his united super-middleweight titles. This is going to be a problem for Benn’s (23-0, 14 cost) if he is the one who wins. He is a welter weight and has never fought anyone as talented as Canelo.
“The only thing I’m upset about now, and I live the Tottenham Stadium, but we really needed a much larger stadium, because these pre -sales tickets moved like I’ve never seen before. We know Friday, it’s an immediate sale anyway, but we could have done with 100,000 easily on this battle, ”Eddie Hearn told the media Today over the 26th fight between Chris Eubank Jr. And Conor Benn.

“I don’t believe he didn’t know about it,” Hearn said of the promoter of Eubank Jr., Ben Shalom, and he suspected he was aware that Chris Jr. Eggs put on him to hit Benn in the face.
“Eddie, we tried to get out of Chris Jr.. What he’s going to say. He wouldn’t tell me. He wouldn’t tell his girlfriend, and he wouldn’t tell his best friend, ‘says Shalom. “We know why now.”
“I think the future of Conor is back at 147,” says Hearn. “If he handles a middleweight in style, who knows then? But it is a big jump up to 168 and a big leap to Canelo Alvarez. Conor is a similar size to Crawford, but does not have its credentials. Honestly, still has his ability. I think Crawford is likely to beat (by Canelo). “
Hearn today made a great production throughout the episode, just on and running, rather than accepting that Benn asked for this. He is the one who ruined plans to fight three years ago by testing positively for a ped. If they fought at the time in 2022, the fight would have been much bigger than now.
“But if he (Benn) walks to the middleweight walk and destroys eubank in three rounds, which is very possible, who knows?” said Hearn.
