Bellew Criticizes Eubank for Egging Benn, Warns It Could Have Risked the Fight

Former world champion Tony Bellew has slammed Chris Eubank Jr. for smashing an egg in Conor Benn’s face during their face-off, warning that the stunt could have jeopardized the fight.

"That’s too much. If the shell gets in your eye, you could be out of the fight.

I once had two scratches on my eyeballs, and the eye never fully heals. If even a small piece of eggshell gets in your eye, it can cause an unpleasant scratch.

This will seriously piss Conor off. Now, they won’t be able to get close to each other again until fight night.

It will take him hours—maybe even days—to shake off the irritation. He’s going to be absolutely furious. Meanwhile, Eubank Jr. will be laughing," said Bellew.

The Eubank vs. Benn fight is scheduled for April 26 in London.
