Chris Eubank Jr receives a forceful fine for hit the egg Benn
Chris Eubank Jr was punished for hitting Conor Benn Egg last month.
The tensions came up between Eubank Jr and Bennem when they went to the head before changing the date on April 26 at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
After a 40-minute first press conference in Manchester, Eubank Jr hit the egg through the face of his rival, before security intervened and prevented Benn from retaliation.
As such, Eubank Jr received a fine of £ 100,000 by the British Control Council [BBBofC] for his role in the infamous egg destroyer.
In the statement, the management board said: “After the interrogation before the manager of the British boxing council, Chris Eubank Jr proved to be violated by Regulation 25 (incorrect proceedings) for his behavior at a press conference in Manchester for the Chris Eubank Jr competition against Conor Benn on April 26, 2025.

“As such, the managers of the management board punished Chris Eubank Jr the sum of 100,000 pounds.”
The couple were to fight in October 2022, but their showdown was postponed for a week of fighting after Benn twice tested the prohibited substance of CLOMIFEN.
In February 2023, WBC restored a man from Essex to his rankings after the ruling that “highly complicated egg consumption” was “a reasonable explanation of an unfavorable discovery.

Two days later, the couple was separated at the second press conference in London, and Benn felt that his rival should be much greater financial penalty.
“I think he should get a million pounds for a hit,” said the 28-year-old Boxing fans.
“Only because of the combat profile.
“It seems to me that this would be injustice if it were less than a million pounds.”
The “destroyer” was raised by the suspension by Domestic anti -doping panel In November, from BBBOFC, which does not refer to him.

Benn is expected to apply for his British license again, which gave her up in weeks after the appearance of positive drug tests.
The son of the former world champion in the twenty, Nigel, had two fights in the US in a fleeting victory, the last victory of the decision over Peter Dobson in February last year.
On the other hand, Eubank Jr secured the title Ibo Middle Wweight in October, stopping Kamil Oldmeta in seven rounds in Riyadh.
The original Eubank JR-Lin meeting was to take place in recalling 157 pounds, but their April Showdown will be questioned by 160 pounds, with a rehydration clause with a capacity of 10 pounds.
Tony Yoka has broken his silence on Lawrence Okolie’s failed test that canceled their scheduled heavyweight fight.
On Saturday in Paris, Yoka was scheduled to face Okolie in a fierce heavyweight fight.
But on Tuesday, the Briton failed a VADA test, reportedly for GHRP 2 and its metabolite M8, a synthetic substance that stimulates the body to release human growth hormone.
Promoter Frank Warren tried to find a slow replacement, but later canceled the entire show.
Yoka (33) admits that he was bitterly disappointed with the situation.
“I was disappointed because I wanted to fight,” said the 33-year-old talkSPORT.
“Of course I was ready.
“It’s not like it happened a few months before, it was three, four days before the fight.
“It was a great opportunity.
“It would have put me in a really good position, so it really worried me.
“What was more disappointing to me was that they just canceled the entire show, but I understand it’s a business.”
The Frenchman says he won’t wait too long and has been told he will either fight on the card Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois May 9 in Manchester or on the bill Dave Allen vs Filip Hrgovic on May 16 in Doncaster.

Okolie, the WBC’s number one contender for Oleksandr Usyk’s title, promised in a statement to clear his name.
“Before anyone starts imagining the worst, after last year’s bicep injury, I suffered an elbow injury on the same shoulder during this camp.
“I underwent treatment and now we are here.
“I hope common sense will prevail.

“I will of course cooperate fully with all relevant authorities and I am confident that any investigation will clear my name.
“I will not be making any further comments at this time.
“Thank you for all your support and see you soon.”

David Benavidez is already looking to the future ahead of next week’s showdown with Zurdo Ramirez.
Benavidez challenges Zurdo for his unified WBO and WBA cruiserweight world titles next Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, live on DAZN pay-per-view.
“The Mexican Monster” is moving up from lightweight heavyweight, where he holds the WBC crown, in a bid to become a three-division world champion.
An undisputed 175-pound title fight with Dmitry Bivol has so far eluded the undefeated 29-year-old, but he insists he will return to the weight class after the Ramirez fight in an attempt to lure Bivol to fight him.
“My plan wasn’t just to abandon the lightweight heavyweight division,” Benavidez said Ariel Helwani show.
“My plan was this [to] come up, win two titles, come back and make this fight with me and Bivol even bigger.
“My dream is to become unified champion.
“It would be wise for me to go back downstairs.”
Bivol, the holder of the remaining IBF, WBA and WBO belts, will defend his IBF title against mandatory challenger Michael Eifert on May 30 in Russia.
The 35-year-old won the undisputed crown, among others revenge victory over Artur Beterbiev in his last appearance last February.
The Russian gave up the WBC belt, which Benavidez currently holds, in pursuit of a third meeting with Beterbiev, which ultimately did not take place.
Benavidez, who stopped Anthony Yarde in Riyad in November, is also hoping to fight former undisputed lightweight heavyweight champion Beterbiev, who hasn’t fought since his only professional loss to Bivol.
“After this fight [against Bivol] when I win the titles,” he added.
“I’m going to fight Beterbiev.
“I’m probably most excited about Beterbiev.
“These are two monsters heading on a collision course.
“Beterbiev was a bogeyman for a long, long, long time.
“Being the monster I am, I have to go in there and get rid of the bogeyman.”

Ryan Garcia insists he was not given a contract to fight Conor Benn, despite the Briton insisting he signed a contract for the fight.
Garcia and Benn are reportedly in talks for a welterweight world title clash in Las Vegas in August.
Benn is the number one contender for the American’s WBC crown, which he won by unanimous decision over Mario Barrios in February.
On Wednesday, Benn publicly called on his rival to sign the end of the deal.
“Sign the contract @RyanGarcia,” the 29-year-old wrote X.
“King Ry” sharply criticized “The Destroyer”, claiming that he was not given a contract to sign.
The 27-year-old wrote further X: “If I actually had a contract, Conor, I would sign it as soon as one of these hands touches your jaw on fight night.”
Benn has not broken the 147-pound limit since 2022, although he has signaled his intention to return to welterweight, and his last fight was at 150 pounds.
The player from Ilford said goodbye to former two-time world champion, Regis Prograis unanimous decision at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this month.
Benn fought at middleweight in his two fights, then fought Prograis in two hard-fought matches against Chris Eubank Jr.
Prior to his victory over Porgrais, the 29-year-old controversially left former promotional team Matchroom to join Zuffa Boxing on a one-fight deal reportedly worth $15 million.
Benn resigned last week from the company formed by UFC president Dana White as part of a five-fight contract.
“I just signed a fresh multi-fight contract, which I am very joyful with,” he said.
“Our visions are consistent.

“Our goal remains the same, which is to win the world title, but more importantly, to give people the fight they want.
“Give people mega fights.”
