Chris Eubank Jr slaps Conor Benn with an EGG as bitter rivals pulled apart in explosive Battle of Britain face-off
CHRIS EUBANK JR quite literally left Conor Benn with egg on his face as their press conference cracked into bedlem.
The born rivals went face-to-face for the first time since their grudge match got rescheduled.
And fists were almost flying early as Eubank smashed an EGG into Benn's face - a reference to his failed drug test three years ago.
It sparked a mass brawl on stage with Benn, promoter Eddie Hearn and his dad Nigel grappling to get a piece of Eubank.
Eventually, the teams were dragged off stage with the bad blood brewing ahead of the 160lb middleweight fight on April 26.
Eubank made reference to Benn's failed drug tests which KO'd their initial 157lb catchweight clash in 2022.

The WBC infamously suggested Benn's failed test for clomiphene could have been related to an intake in eggs.
In the run-up to the press conference, Hearn accused Eubank of being "on the beach."
And Eubank rounded on the Matchroom kingpin in a tense war of words in North London.
The former IBO middleweight champ snarled: "Eddie, you know I don't like you right?"

"So what makes you think on God's green Earth I'm going to sit here and listen to any of the b***ocks you're going to say?"
Hearn immediately shot back: "Well you're going to have to."
Benn is moving up two weights for April's grudge match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
But the unbeaten 28-year-old is reportedly in tip-top shape early in camp.
Hearn told talkSPORT: "We live in an age where [fighters] like to document their work.
"Conor Benn is training like a man possessed.
"I think Chris Eubank's on the beach at the minute. He hits pads for about 30 seconds and then puts it out on Instagram.
"In my opinion, Conor Benn is on another level to Chris Eubank Jr.
"But in stepping up two divisions, physically he's at a huge disadvantage.
