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.
Off now

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.
The promoters are leaches with no shame.
A pumped up muscle packed fighter (the Matchroom fighter) v a dehydrated weight drained fighter.
Its a disgrace and should be called off now.
If it goes ahead I hope Eubank annihilates him.
Eddies pockets will still be full though.
He probably will to be fair, which is why he's happy for it to go ahead.
He can gloat about beating a version of Benn on PED's if he wins too.
Make no mistake though, Eubank won't be taking this lightly.
As much of a mis-match as this might be, both will be fired up something silly and there's going to be fireworks. Benn's full of hate towards Eubank for his dad's loss, and Eubank hates what Benn Sr put his old man through.
Both lads are quite literally continuing this feud.
if the fight goes ahead, hasn't boxing gone down the cycling route ( pre the clean up ) ? ??
At a bare minimum the dehydration clause should be removed and the fighting weight be set at the correct middleweight limit.
This test was done in late August early September apparently. Its a complete joke.
Its one thing a cyclist being a drug cheat. A boxer pumping up getting stronger fitter more aggressive and punching you in the head is another.
Frampton is right there should be lifetime bans.
It's been corrupt since the 80's, it's hard to change that when so much money is involved.
Football's no different.
A world cup in Qatar is happening for that very reason. Nobody wanted it held there except the wealthy money men in Qatar and FIFA. We can all see why it's happening.
Lose lose for Benn even if it does go ahead. If Eubank beats him he beat him even though he was cheating, if Benn wins then it's because he'd taken PED's. Fight's f**ked, call it off
Im surprised by the amount of medical experts out there. We keep getting told the NHS is short of medical professionals and yet social media is full of them all of a sudden. Who would have thought there would be so many experts on female fertility drugs?
