Pocket full of problems: Eubank Jr.’s egg smuggling.

Chris Eubank Jr. published a photo of his jacket, with which he had introduced clandestine into a pocket full of raw eggs to crush Conor Benn during their confrontation today at the Central Manchester.

Eggs

We do not know why he needed an entire pocket full of eggs, but he could have wanted additional ammunition in case one of them breaks. He wore it around today’s press conference to promote their April 26 fight at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium in London, England. Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 kos) was quite emotional with its planning. Benn had not indicated that he was going to be nailed by the egg.

The promoter Eddie Hearn says that he wanted to have chosen a larger place because he expected him to expect the Tottenham Hotspurs stadium with 62,850 places sold on Friday.

Eubank Jr-Benn should have two fights, and the one who appears victorious in the second fight will face Canelo Alvarez for his unified average weight titles in 2026. This goes to a problem for Benn (23-0, 14 kos) if he is The one who wins. It is a Welter weight and has never fought anyone as talented as Canelo.

“The only thing that upsets me now, and I saw the Tottenham stadium, but we really needed a much larger stadium, because these presale tickets moved as I have never seen it before. We know that Friday is an instant sale anyway, but we could have done with 100,000 easy on this fight, “said Eddie Hearn media Today on the fight of April 26 between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn.

“I do not believe he did not know it,” said Hearn about the promoter of Eubank Jr, Ben Shalom, suspecting him of being aware that Chris Jr. had hidden eggs to break Benn in the face.

“Eddie, we tried to get out of Chris Jr. what he will say. He wouldn’t tell me. He wouldn’t say it to his girlfriend and he wouldn’t say to his best friend, “said Shalom. “We know why now.”

“I think Conor’s future is back at 147,” said Hearn. “If he treats with an average weight, who knows?” But it is a big jump to 168 and a big jump in terms of size to Canelo Alvarez. Conor is a similar size to Crawford, but does not have its references. Frankly, does not yet have its capacity. I think Crawford will probably be beaten (by Canelo). »»

Hearn was doing a great production about the whole episode today, continuing on this subject, rather than accepting that Benn had asked for this. It is the one who ruined the plans for them to fight three years ago by testing positive for a PED. If they had fought at the time in 2022, the fight would have been much larger than it is now.

“But if he (Benn) goes up to the average weight and destroys Eubank in three laps, which is very possible, who knows?” said Hearn.
