The boxing world is reeling from a shocking altercation that has landed Chris Eubank Jr in the hospital, following a vicious attack by rival Conor Benn during a heated press conference. The incident, which unfolded at a promotional event for their potential rematch, escalated from verbal jabs to physical chaos, leaving Eubank Jr requiring medical attention and prompting heavyweight contender Dave Allen to drop a explosive bombshell that has ignited further controversy.

The drama began innocently enough at Manchester’s presser ahead of the April 26, 2025, clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but tensions boiled over when Eubank Jr, 35-3 (25 KOs), cracked an egg on Benn’s face—a pointed jab at Benn’s 2022 drug scandal involving clomifene, cleared by the WBC but attributed to egg consumption. Benn, 23-0 (14 KOs), exploded in rage, retaliating with a ferocious assault that saw his father, Nigel Benn, join in by grabbing Eubank Jr’s throat. Promoter Eddie Hearn shoved Eubank Jr’s team, turning the stage into a melee.

Eubank Jr, son of legendary boxer Chris Eubank Sr, was rushed to a nearby hospital with injuries from the brawl, including potential concussion and cuts. From his hospital bed, Eubank Jr released his first words: “This isn’t boxing; it’s thuggery. Benn will pay in the ring.” Hearn, Benn’s promoter, reacted furiously, vowing Benn would “attack on sight” and dismissing the egg incident as provocation.

But the real shocker came when Dave Allen, the fan-favorite heavyweight (21-6-2, 18 KOs), broke his silence in a viral interview. Allen, who has sparred with both fighters, dropped a bombshell: “Benn’s been plotting this revenge since the drug ban. It’s not just anger—it’s calculated. Eubank pushed too far, but Benn crossed the line into assault.” Allen’s revelation has fueled calls for sanctions against Benn, with fans divided—some hailing Allen’s honesty, others accusing him of stirring the pot ahead of his own fights.

The British Boxing Board of Control has launched an investigation, while the rematch hangs in the balance. As Eubank Jr recovers, the rivalry—rooted in their fathers’ 1990s battles—has turned dangerously personal. Will justice prevail, or will the ring settle the score? The boxing world watches, breathless.
