Eubank later explained his actions:

They say eggs were the reason for his two failed drug tests. So I figured, why not ‘treat’ him to one myself?” Eubank Jr. wrote.

Benn didn’t hold back in his response:

I was cleared three times by people far smarter than you.

First, I was cleared. Second, you’ll never be cleared for being a pathetic prick. Your IQ is that of a five-year-old,” Benn replied.

The Eubank vs. Benn fight is set for April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
