Eddie Hearn storms off stage at Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn press conference

Eddie Hearn stormed off stage following a back and forth with Chris Eubank Jr at a press conference ahead of the latter’s fight against Conor Benn.

Eubank Jr will square off with Benn in the much-anticipated boxing event at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday (26 April).

In Thursday’s press conference, Hearn said how proud he was of Benn, saying he couldn’t wait for him to “smash Eubank Jr to pieces”.

However, the matchroom promoter didn't get much further as Eubank Jr continuously interrupted him.

A fed up Hearn said: “I'm gonna let someone else speak on my behalf.”

He then exited the stage.
