CONOR BENN had even his own promoter Eddie Hearn flinching after faking a punch at Ben Shalom.
All hell broke loose at Tuesday’s Manchester press conference when Chris Eubank Jr and Benn officially announced their April 26 grudge match.

Shalom was made to flinch
So when the born rivals faced off once more – this time at Tottenham’s stadium – they were kept apart by security.
But Benn still managed to troll Eubank’s promoter Shalom by charging at the Boxxer boss – forcing him and even Hearn to flinch.
Fans were left in hysterics as one said: “Flinch? He literally shat himself.”
One joked: “Eddie s*** himself also.”
Another said: “Eddie flinched as well.”
Bedlam broke out on the stage earlier in the week when Eubank, 35, smashed an EGG over Benn’s face.
That was in reference to Benn’s failed drug tests that forced their initial October 2022 fight to be cancelled.
The WBC infamously suggested a high intake of eggs could have caused his positive tests for clomiphene – which is known to boost testosterone.

But Benn, 28, has since had his UK Anti-Doping ban lifted after an investigation – allowing him to box on.
And Eubank – now facing a British Boxing Board of Control probe – failed to apologise for his egg slap stunt.
He said: “If I had the opportunity I’d do it again.
“Me throwing an egg at someone — who absurdly claims that’s why he failed two drug tests — that’s light, he deserved the embarrassment.”
