- Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr clashed for the first time during the fight week
- The pair will end end to end in an entirely British confrontation on April 26 in Tottenham
Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn have been confronted for the first time since Schash incident with eggs in Feborary.
With red alert safety, the ferocious rivals, which lock the horns to adjust their resentment to a capacity of Tottenham Stadium on Saturday evening, settled inside the Pelligon, Canary Wharf.
The egg used by Eubank JR two months ago was a nod to the explanation of WBC of the two tests of missed drugs of Benn which, according to them, could have been caused by a “very high egg consumption”.
He ended up being condemned to a fine of £ 100,000 for the incident that rapped Benn and his father Nigel – who shared the ring with Eubank SR in the key context of this new iteration of family rivalry.
It was their first interaction of what will undoubtedly be to see this fighting week, but there were no shenanigans this time, the Pugilists were well separated for their obligations.
The delayed arrival of Eubank Jr kept those present pending, but it was Benn who was the first for the cameras.

He kept his composure, while his promoter Eddie Hearn spoke of the magnitude of the domestic force test, which he compared to Carl Froch vs George Groves.
Hearn said: “ It is the biggest fight outside the heavy goods vehicles since Froch vs Groves, the largest rivalry of British boxing in a closed window stadium.
“The story was there before and now two years ago of bad blood. They are two world class fighters in their divisions.
“I think Conor will look sensational, he wins by KO on Saturday, you will see a demolition work.”
The prediction of Eubank Jr was unsurprisingly in contrast to these words and he thinks that he will play the matador with the unleashed bull of Benn this weekend.
He said: “ I continue to hear weight classes, he has put books, it is not size or weight, it is competence, dedication, expertise, all these areas in which I lead and it will be the decisive factor.
“I am a complete fighter and I have been doing it for so long. I forgot more than he knows.
Egg-Gate took place in Eubank Jr and the first face to face from Benn to Manchester in February
Eddie Hearn predicted that her fighter would eliminate Eubank Jr on Saturday evening
When asked if there would be buffoonemeries similar to the egg in which he brought the smuggling and broke Benn at the press conference of the fight announcement in February, he was not committed, saying: “Shenanigans? I do what I think well and what I want to do.
“The procedure will be parliamentary, everything will go as I want, I will be like a matador, it will be like a bull.”
The failed tests denounced the fight initially scheduled in 2022. A two -year legal battle followed as Benn, who has always maintained his innocence, sought to erase his name before his BBBOFC suspension was lifted in November.
Everything being good, this Saturday, the rivalry of their famous fathers and years of bad blood will be installed in a huge confrontation in front of 60,000 fans.
