A furious Conor Benn had to be held back by security after his opponent Chris Eubank Jr. smashed an egg across his face during their extraordinary boxing match face-off on Tuesday.

After Benn was slapped on stage, his father Nigel grabbed Eubank Jr by the neck, while Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn shoved his counterpart Ben Shalom. Shalom denied any prior knowledge that Eubank Jr would pull the stunt.

The scene quickly descended into chaos afterward, with British boxing legend Nigel Benn — the father of Conor Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) — rushing over to Eubank and grabbing him by the throat. Security was forced to hold both Benns back from retaliating at Eubank after the stage became a free-for-all brawl.
