There were heated scenes as Benn then stepped into the ring.
They were then seen facing off with one another, with football superstar Neymar making a surprise appearance in the background.
Eubank was seen putting his hand on the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain stars shoulder and saying: “This is my boy, we’re coming for you.”
Benn then replied in Spanish, with Eubank asking Neymar to translate before he whispered in his ear.
But the 32-year-old’s appearance, seemingly as a makeshift ref-come translator left fans confused.
It prompted one fan on social media to ask: “Nah why is Neymar acting as the referee for the face off?”
A second said: “HAHAHAHAHA WHAT?”
A third added: “Why is Neymar in the ring hosting a face off between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn????”

SunSport’s own boxing reporter Chisanga Malata said: “Neymar squaring off Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr – after translating Benn’s Spanish trash talk – is an utterly, utterly bizarre scene.”
