(Reuters) - IBO middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr has been fined 100,000 pounds ($129,210) by the British Boxing Board of Control for slapping upcoming opponent Conor Benn with an egg at a press conference last month, British media reported on Tuesday.
A fight between Britons Eubank Jr and Benn, sons of former two-division world champions who were arch-rivals, was called off in 2022 when Benn tested positive for trace amounts of fertility drug clomifene.
