In the first stop of their two-city press conference tour, which took place in Manchester, the two fighters came face to face to exchange words on the stage - when Eubank slapped Benn across his face with an egg. The attack by Eubank would spark a wild scene, with both camps trying to get involved and security keeping them apart.

The fight, which takes place on April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London will be part of a special collaboration between Ring Magazine and SNK Games, creators of the FATAL FURY gaming series.

The two boxers were initially scheduled to fight in October of 2023 - but the fight was canceled during fight week, when Benn tested positive for a banned substance. There were claims that Benn's positive test was the result of consuming too many eggs.

Eubank Jr and Benn's clash will come 35 years after their fathers Chris Sr and Nigel, two legends of British boxing, fought two grueling middleweight and super-middleweight title battles in the 1990s.

The second press conference will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Thursday, February 27.

The presser will be streamed live by Ring Magazine, DAZN, Matchroom and Boxxer on all social channels from 6pm GMT/1pm ET.

Fans who pre-order ‘FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves’ will get priority access to tickets for Eubank Jr-Benn. The game, available on PlayStation, Xbox and PC, is scheduled for an April 24 release, with those who pre-order benefitting from early access on April 21.
