A furious Benn had to be held back by three security guards at the event in North London.
The bitter rivals had joined up to promote their April showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Benn’s dad Nigel – himself a former world champ – was on stage with his son for the face-off.
Viral footage showed him appearing to grab Eubank by the neck in the chaotic scenes.
Following the brawl, Benn talked with his entourage and dad backstage.
Speaking to Nigel, Benn said: “Mum is gonna be really disappointed when she sees this.”
Ex-WBO middleweight king Nigel replied to laughs: “She ain’t gonna see the video.”
Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn engaged in a war of words with Eubank ahead of the egg slap.
Hearn was seen appearing to push fellow promoter Ben Shalom in the melee.
And he later told Sky Sports: “If you see Nigel Benn tonight, run!”

Eubank claimed the stunt was in reference to Benn’s failed drug test from 2022.
The first fight between the pair was called off after 28-year-old Benn’s positive sample for clomiphene.
Eubank later wrote on X: “Eggcellent. Apparently egg contamination was the reason for his two failed drugs tests. So I contaminated him with an egg.”

A shaken-up Hearn later talked to reporters, insisting the fight would be “off” if Benn and Eubank ran into each other again.
Hearn said: “What’s happened now is the game has changed.
“And if you do that, you have to live with the consequences of that.
“We have to put provisions in place – put a lid on it – to make sure this doesn’t get out of control.”

Nigel has been married to Caroline Jackson, Conor’s mum, since 1996
