A close-up angle of the intense face-off between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn shows exactly what was said.

Eubank Jr. and Benn came face-to-face in Manchester on Tuesday ahead of their grudge match on April 26.

They exchanged verbal barbs, with promoters Eddie Hearn and Ben Shalom also getting involved.

After the presser, Eubank Jr. and Benn went head-to-head for a face-off.

From there, Eubank Jr. SLAPPED Benn with an egg, sparking a wild brawl as security tried to defuse the situation.

Benn, who failed two drug tests ahead of their original meeting back in October 2022, took to social media after being hit by an egg.

"That’s the only shot you’ll land on me you f**king prick," he wrote on X. "2 rounds you are finished."

Eubank Jr. then explained why he struck his rival with an egg, tweeting: "Apparently egg contamination was the reason for his two failed drugs tests. So I contaminated him with an egg."

A new clip of the moment has emerged online and shows what was said between the two British fighters.

Hearn gave his immediate reaction to the incident as he claimed anything now goes following Eubank Jr.'s egg stunt.

"He came on stage with an egg. I thought it was glass. The noise and the way it shattered was like a glass. We don’t know what’s happened. All I’m saying now, all bets are off. If you bump into Nigel Benn in the next 10 minutes, watch yourself," he told Sky Sports.

"The thing is with Eubank is that everything is pre-mediated. He’s sat there at night and thought 'I’m going to hit him round the face with an egg'. Some might find it funny. Imagine you in a head to head right now, the police would be looking for you.

"The game is the game, the fight is the fight. All bets are off. Anything goes. You’ve gone to that level. Thursday at Spurs. It’s on sight."
