Eubank Jr Fined £100K for ‘Egg Slap’ on Benn Ahead of Anticipated Showdown

Chris Eubank Jr has been fined £100,000 for an unsportsmanlike stunt that took place during a promotional faceoff with rival Conor Benn, ahead of their highly anticipated fight on April 26, 2025. Eubank shocked the crowd and officials by slapping a raw egg onto Benn during the heated promo event, reigniting tensions in one of boxing’s most talked-about rivalries.

🥚 From Grudge to Gimmick?

What was meant to be a tense but controlled promotional appearance turned chaotic when Eubank pulled out an egg and slapped it across Benn’s chest in a stunt that drew immediate criticism from both promoters and sanctioning officials. The incident was a reference to Eubank’s past comments about Benn’s diet and training habits—further fueling a long-running feud between the sons of two British boxing legends.

“It was unprofessional and crossed the line,” said one event official. “This is a sporting contest, not a circus.”

💸 Heavy Fine, No Suspension

While the act did not result in suspension or disqualification, Eubank Jr was handed a £100,000 fine by the event’s governing body for “bringing the sport into disrepute.” The funds will reportedly be donated to a youth sports charity.

Despite the penalty, Eubank appeared unfazed in post-event interviews, stating, “A little fine won’t break me. The real damage will be done on April 26.”

📰 Final Thoughts

The Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn fight was already personal—and now it’s explosive. With just days to go before the showdown, the egg incident has added an extra layer of drama to what promises to be a fiery encounter in the ring.
