Boxing Rivalry Heats Up as Eubank Jr and Benn Clash Over Doping Controversy
Tensions erupted on live TV as Chris Eubank Jr refused to back down on Conor Benn’s past doping scandal
📍 London, March 15: In a dramatic television showdown, Chris Eubank Jr stormed off Piers Morgan Uncensored after a heated exchange with Conor Benn over his past doping allegations. The two British boxing rivals were discussing their highly anticipated fight on April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but things quickly spiraled out of control when the topic of Benn’s failed drug tests resurfaced.
Benn, who was cleared by the National Anti-Doping Panel after testing positive for clomiphene in 2022, has maintained his innocence. However, Eubank Jr remains unconvinced and openly called Benn a “cheat” during the segment, refusing to acknowledge the panel’s verdict.
🔹 “He’s Still a Cheat” – Eubank Jr Refuses to Let Go of Doping Controversy
The confrontation reached a boiling point when Eubank Jr dismissed any explanations regarding Benn’s positive test:
📢 “If someone was to have pinned him down and jabbed a syringe into the side of his ass and squeezed it in, guess what? He’s still a cheat. He shouldn’t have let it happen. It’s his responsibility to protect himself at all times. He didn’t do that. He’s a cheat. End of story.”
Piers Morgan attempted to mediate, but Eubank Jr wasn’t having it. Frustrated with the repeated questioning, he snapped:
📢 “Don’t ask me again, Piers. Don’t ask me again.”
With that, the IBO middleweight champion stood up and left the studio, leaving Benn and Morgan momentarily stunned.

This latest outburst follows an already volatile press conference last month, where Eubank Jr smashed an egg into Benn’s face, a nod to his previous comment suggesting Benn had taken performance-enhancing drugs via egg contamination. The incident cost Eubank Jr a £100,000 fine, but only added more fuel to their bitter rivalry.
Now, with their long-delayed fight officially set, tensions between the two boxers continue to escalate.
