The boxer Chris Eubank Jr attacked his upcoming opponent Conor Benn with an egg.

Now he has been fined approximately 1.3 million kronor by the British boxing association.

It was at a press conference in Manchester ahead of the duo's upcoming match on April 26 that Eubank Jr pulled out an egg from his pocket and smashed it against Benn's face.

Conor Benn was investigated for doping in 2022, but was acquitted by WBC (World Boxing Council) the following year with the explanation that "a high consumption of eggs" was behind the positive test.

Middleweight boxers Eubank and Benn meet in London, at Tottenham's home arena, in a match that was originally supposed to take place in 2022.
