Benn fails a drug test for abnormal levels of a fertility drug so Saturdays fight is off 🙄
Conor Benn v Chris Eubank Jr fight 'prohibited' by British Boxing Board of Control - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/63146437
He's been juicing. Fertility drugs get your levels straight after a cycle of test-roids etc.
They absolutely have the power to stop it, and if his B sample is a fail then they probably will do. However, the UKAD clearance along with a clear B sample would probably see it go ahead, especially when you factor in £20+mil revenue and a small percentage of that no doubt crossing the correct palms...
It could be stopped without doubt, but I suspect it unlikely, especially given the money involved.
If this fight goes ahead now its a disgrace.
Hope Eubank sues for loss of earnings.
It seems Eddie is trying to get an injunction for this to go ahead. If true he has no shame.
Boxers failing these tests should be banned for life.

Sorry, just seen that Hearn is still not counting it off so who knows

as long as one of them get a goal against wigan on saturday i'll be happy. Did Hudson get these two in already? that was quick
Might try and get another boxing board to sanction it. Luxemburg sanctioned Chirosa vs Haye a few years back despite neither of them being registered boxers at the time.
Just when you though boxing couldn't turn any more into a farce. Between this and the heavyweight debarcle of who is fighting who it is no wonder fans are turning away.
It really is frustrating.
I've followed it for something like 35 years, and back then it was just so much more simple. The best fought the best and that was it. Fights just seemed so much easier to make.
Unfortunately that didn't last long, people like Don King and Frank Warren started to ruin it over time and it's never been the same since. The money-men control it now and have, indeed, turned it all into a bit of a farce.
The higher up the divisions you go, the worse it gets as you've rightly pointed out. It doesn't help having so many different bodies and belts mind either.
I said on here months ago that this fight was a pantomime which didn’t interest me, it’s been a joke from the get go.
