The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC), established in 1929 to regulate British professional boxing, is currently investigating Eubank Jr.’s egg-slapping incident at a press conference. This incident could potentially lead to disciplinary actions under their rules.
Conor Benn had previously faced controversy in 2022 when his fight against Eubank Jr. was canceled due to failed drug tests. Trace amounts of a fertility drug were detected in his system, although he claimed contamination and vowed to prove his innocence.
