FEUDING boxer Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn have clashed again ahead of their Best of British showdown.
The fierce rivals had to be kept apart during a fiery appearance on Piers Morgan’s YouTube show Uncensored.
Security accompanied both fighters to the recording following an ugly incident last month.
Eubank smashed an egg into Benn’s face during a fractious press conference in Manchester on February 25.
Benn was left incensed, with a wild fracas breaking out on stage.
Eubank claimed the egg slap was a reference to his opponent’s drugs ban in 2022.

Appearing alongside Morgan, security guards got between the fighters as they traded verbal barbs.
Benn was heard sneering in the trailer: “Can you check this p**** for any eggs?
Eubank fired back: “I don’t need eggs my friend, these fists are more than enough.
“I hate what he stands for.

Benn later accused Next Gen of “disrespect” as Morgan looked on nervously from his presenting chair.
Eubank fired back: “You can’t give it and not take it.”
Security then got involved to make sure the pair could not trade any punches.
Eubank and Benn were originally scheduled to meet almost three years ago.
But the fight was KO’d after The Destroyed failed two drug tests.
The WBC suggested the 28-year-old had failed test for clomiphene could have been related to an intake of eggs.
Benn has since been cleared of any wrongdoing by boxing’s National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP).
He is moving up two weights for the grudge match on April 26 and is reportedly in tip-top shape early in camp.
Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn told talkSPORT: “We live in an age where [fighters] like to document their work.
“Conor Benn is training like a man possessed.
“I think Chris Eubank’s on the beach at the minute. He hits pads for about 30 seconds and then puts it out on Instagram.
“In my opinion, Conor Benn is on another level to Chris Eubank Jr.
