Chris Eubank Junior and Conor Benn had to be separated by security after their first face-to-face meeting in nearly two years. The pair were due to clash at the 02 Arena in London in October 2022, before a failed drugs test by Benn led to the fight being scrapped at the last minute.
Benn has always protested his innocence, but remains suspended by UK Anti-Doping and the British Boxing Board of Control as a consequence of those issues. The 28-year-old, who has fought twice on US soil since having his licence revoked, remains convinced that he and Eubank Junior will one day share the ring and pressed his case for that bout during a heated confrontation in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Eubank Junior had barely stepped off the scales for his middleweight fight with Kamil Szeremeta on the undercard of Saturday's undisputed light heavyweight title unification clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol when Benn made his presence known. Soon attracting the attention of the assembled media, the duo traded insults while head-to-head, before Benn put his hands on Eubank, shoving him away.
