Chris Eubank Jr. underwent a comical security check for eggs upon his arrival at the second press conference with rival Conor Benn.
The two boxers are scheduled for a highly anticipated grudge match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26.
This playful security measure followed Tuesday’s press conference incident where Eubank Jr. slapped Benn with an egg.
The egg incident was seen as a jab at Benn’s prior failed drug test in 2022, where it was suggested that the banned substance could be linked to egg consumption.
Security personnel jokingly used a paddle labeled “egg detector” to frisk Eubank Jr. as he approached the stage on Thursday.
Fans online reacted with humor, with one wondering where to buy an “egg detector” and another enjoying the ongoing egg-related banter.
Their fight was initially canceled in October 2022 due to Benn’s failed drug tests, although charges were later dropped.
At the recent press conference, increased security was present to keep the two fighters separated after Tuesday’s chaotic scenes, which involved their fathers and promoters.
Promoter Eddie Hearn previously remarked that Eubank Jr. seemed unprepared for the fight, contrasting with Benn’s perceived readiness despite moving up weight divisions.
