Conor Benn shocks onlookers with chilling warning to rival as he hijacks Chris Eubank Jr weigh

Conor Benn shoved Chris Eubank Jr and told him he's a 'dead boy walking' when two boxers met in a furious hotel lobby confrontation.

Eubank Jr is in Riyadh for his fight with Kamil Szeremeta on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol and had just weighed in when he bumped into his long-term rival Benn in the lobby of the Hilton hotel. Tensions flared rapidly as a crowd of fans, press and boxing officials watched on. Benn was heard shouting 'don't f*** up the bag' - hinting they could soon finally make their anticipated bout, indefinitely postponed due to Benn's doping ban, a reality.

The two went face to face with Eubank Jr smiling as his furious rival ranted: "You're f***** lucky you're fighting tomorrow. You're a dead boy walking. I need you to win, I'm going to give you a good a*** beating in front of 16,000."

Benn then pushed Eubank Jr before they were separated and went their separate ways. The bitter feud goes back to a proposed 2022 bout that was postponed after Benn was suspended by by UK Anti-Doping and the British Boxing Board of Control. That suspension still stands after it was lifted and then reinstated after appeal, and the issue will need to be resolved before any fight takes place. But Benn's words added fresh hope that a bout could still be on the cards in the near future.
