Security quickly stepped in to prevent further violence, but the tension between the fighters has only intensified.
Following the incident, Eubank Jr. took to X to explain his surprising choice of weapon. The shocking display has only fueled excitement for what promises to be a grudge match for the ages.
With the fight now set in stone, fans are eagerly counting down the days until April 26, when Eubank Jr. and Benn will finally settle their heated dispute inside the ring.
