    Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn face-off cancelled after security concerns

    Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn have been banned from participating in another face-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Tuesday’s chaos.

    Two press conferences were arranged this week to launch their fight taking place on 26 April with the first instalment in Manchester last night ending in a brawl on stage after Eubank Jr slapped Benn with an egg.

    Benn’s father Nigel, who shared a legendary rivalry with Chris Eubank Snr over 30 years ago, was also involved in the carnage along with promoter Eddie Hearn.

    There were plans for the two to meet again at Tottenham”s home ground on Wednesday.

    But that head-to-head will not take place amid ‘security concerns,’ Sky Sports report.

    Thursday’s second press conference at the Premier League ground is still scheduled to go ahead with additional security staff to be drafted in to avoid a repeat of last night’s scenes.

    ‘It will go viral’

    Benn’s promoter Hearn raised major concerns over further media events this week, warning it would be ‘attack on sight’ for both Eubank Jr and Benn.

    ‘The world we live in today, it will go viral, people will think it’s quite funny but I will tell you one thing, in the fight game, everything changes now,’ Hearn said.

    ‘You don’t wanna be backstage right now. If you see Nigel Benn tonight, run.

    ‘These aren’t normal people, they don’t have a cup of tea and forget about it. This had bad blood and everything has changed.

    ‘I don’t know if we can have Thursday’s press conference now because it will be attack on sight.’

    Eubank Jr and Benn were originally scheduled to meet in the ring in October 2022 before the latter returned two failed drugs tests, forcing the all-British contest to be abandoned just days before the opening bell.

    The WBC said in 2023 that a ‘highly-elevated consumption of eggs’ was a ‘reasonable explanation’ for his failed test. Benn finally saw his suspension lifted in November.
