Eubank Jr, 35, was referring to Benn’s failed drug tests in 2022, which derailed the boxers’ planned clash in October of that year. In 2023, the WBC claimed that “elevated consumption of eggs” was a “reasonable excuse” for Benn’s adverse results.

As the fallout from egg-gate continues, Eubank was forced to go though a security check before Thursday's press conference where he escalated his verbal attacks on Benn and promoter Eddie Hearn.

With the two set to class at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April, pre-sale tickets were made available to Tottenham Hotspur members on Thursday and Eddie Hearn has made a huge claim about the interest in the fight.
