Boxing: Conor Benn pushes Chris Eubank Jr in Saudi Arabia altercation

Conor Benn launched a foul-mouthed tirade at Chris Eubank Jr and pushed his fellow Briton in the chest during an altercation in Saudi Arabia.

The pair were set to meet in October 2022 – 30 years after their fathers Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr fought – but the bout was cancelled after Benn failed two voluntary doping tests.

Eubank Jr takes on Poland’s Kamil Szeremeta on Saturday in Riyadh. The 35-year-old came face-to-face with Benn, 28, on Friday.

“You’re lucky you’re fighting tomorrow,” Benn told Eubank Jr before taking off his sunglasses and stepping closer to his rival.

“I’ll see you tomorrow after the fight. I’ll get in that ring and give it to you.”

Benn continued with the foul language, warning a member of security – who placed his arm between the boxers – to take his hand away.

A smiling Eubank said: “It’s OK, let him come close, I like this energy,” before being shoved in the chest by Benn.

Eubank Jr labelled him “a kid”, with Benn then accusing him of arrogance.
