Conor Benn And EuBank’s Big Bout Is Set For April

At the second press conference before their eagerly anticipated fight, Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn squared off from a considerable distance.

To avoid a recurrence of the raucous circumstances that plagued their debut news conference earlier this week, security personnel remained in close proximity to both boxers.

Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn, the sons of legendary British boxers Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn, will square off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, April 26.

Consequently, on Thursday, February 27, 2025, they hosted the second press conference for the promotional tour in the London location.

A faux “egg detector” was used to scan Eubank as he took the stage for this press conference, a reference to the fact that he had hit Benn with an egg during Tuesday’s launch ceremony.

A frantic altercation broke out as a result of that occurrence, and security broke up the fight after Conor’s father grabbed Eubank Jr.

During the conference, Eubank told Nigel Benn the following:

“You did put your hand on my neck. I’m going to give you a pass. If your hand ever touches me again, you won’t get it back.”

That move angered Conor Benn, and he responded. “Shut your mouth. This whole thing is getting on my nerves”. I can’t wait to smash your head in.”

“Mission accomplished,” Eubank Jr replied. “I can’t wait, my friend.”

Nigel Benn responded calmly:

“I understand and I apologise for doing that,” he said of the press conference fracas. “He’s poked the bear (ahead of April 26 fight). I just know what is going to happen.

“I know what my son can do. He’s actually a much better fighter than me,” he added. “I could never box like Conor.

“When Conor catches him, it could be round one, round two. I don’t see it going past four rounds.”

When it was revealed that Conor Benn had failed two drug tests, the 2022 match between Eubank Jr. and Benn was called off the week before it was scheduled to take place.

During Thursday’s press conference, Eubank, who kept interrupting Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn, said:

“From my purse for this fight I will be giving £50,000 to the fighters on that undercard [for the cancelled 2022 fight] to split between them to cover some of their losses.

“I’m not doing this for awards. I hope Eddie and Conor both put up their own £50,000. I think many lines have been crossed,” Eubank Jr said. “I think that [egg incident] was light. I think that’s deserved. He deserved the embarrassment.

“I come unarmed today. I’ve been thoroughly searched many times,” he added. “This is a real fight. This is going to be like the first fight between my father and Nigel Benn. It’s going to be special.”
