Chris Eubank Jr abruptly walks out of Piers Morgan interview after awkward exchange with TV host
CHRIS EUBANK JR stormed out of a sit-down interview with Piers Morgan after being pressed on his stance over Conor Benn’s failed drug tests.
Benn’s positive drug tests – which scuppered his first scheduled grudge match with Eubank Jr in October 2022 – was just one of several talking points during the pair’s joint appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
Benn, 28, tested positive for clomiphene but was cleared of intentionally taking the banned substance – which can elevate testosterone levels in men – by the National Anti-Doping Panel.
The welterweight claimed clomiphene was in his system due to his ingestion of eggs, which, if consumed in vast quantities, can leave trace amounts of the substance.
Eubank Jr doesn’t buy Benn’s explanation for his anti-doping violations, so much so that he slapped him with an egg, or Morgan’s suggestion that his rival could be potentially be innocent.
He said: “If someone was to have pinned him down and jabbed a syringe into the side of his ass and squeezed it in, if that had happened and I saw it.
“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.”
Morgan tried to get Eubank Jr to see his point of view, saying: “I’ll give you one last chance.”
Hove hitman Eubank Jr angrily replied: “Don’t ask me again, Piers. Don’t ask me again.”
He then cut short the joint interview by standing up and storming out of the studio.
Eubank Jr and Benn traded several verbal jabs during the tense sitdown, during which security had to separate the pair.
Benn blew a gasket after Eubank Jr said there’d be “consequences” for his old man Nigel, who grabbed ‘Next Gen by the throat after his egga antics.
“You f****d up talking about my dad!” Conor raged. “What the f**k are you looking at?
“Come on, we can have it outside, no problem. Yeah we can.
“Think I’m mucking around? Threatening my dad. You think I’m playing games? Don’t ever talk to my dad like that.”
