Benn/Eubank Jr. Sunday
#1
Yep, this fight will be on DAZN for those who forked over the $15 or online somewhere for free.  It'll be on NEXT Sunday morning (NZ time).  Oops, I thought it was this Sunday by mistake.

BBBofC “prohibits” Eubank-Benn

BRITISH BOXING BOARD OF CONTROL STATEMENT

On the evening of 4th October 2022, the Board of the British Boxing Board of Control Limited resolved that the contest between Chris Eubank Jnr. and Conor Benn scheduled to take place on 8th October 2022 is prohibited as it is not in the interests of Boxing. That was communicated to the Boxers and Promoters involved on the morning of 5th October 2022.

Benn fails drug test, fight to proceed for now

Conor Benn has tested positive for a banned substance, reportedly trace amounts of the banned women’s infertility drug Clomifene. Despite the adverse finding, both camps wish to proceed with Saturday’s big money showdown between Benn and Chris Eubank Jr in London. The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) has yet to weigh-in on the issue.

Matchroom Boxing/Wasserman Boxing Statement: We have been made aware that a random anti-doping test for Conor Benn conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) returned an adverse analytical finding for trace amounts of a fertility drug. The B sample has yet to be tested, meaning that no rule violation has been confirmed. Indeed, Mr. Benn has not been charged with any rule violation, he is not suspended, and he remains free to fight.

Mr. Benn has since passed a doping control test conducted by the UK Anti-Doping Agency, the anti-doping authority to which the British Board of Boxing Control has delegated its doping control testing for the bout. Mr. Benn has passed all doping control tests conducted by UKAD.

Both fighters have taken medical and legal advice, are aware of all relevant information, and wish to proceed with the bout this Saturday.

It would be a black eye for boxing if it did go ahead.
What happens for Eubank Jnr here- get paid? He has had expenses etc and the failed test out of his hands
The fight could still happen - Eddie and co will explain it all- wild boar- mexican beef, kissing or intercourse with a lady who was on the medication...all excuses I have previously used lol

You used all those excuses? Shame, shame. I bet you're kidding, right? Right! Why would he use a woman's infertility drug? Looking to get pregnant?

Anyway, sad it's not going ahead. But what about the rest of the card? Not a good look. Benn doesn't think he can win without cheating. And I had him as the favorite.

Poor Eddie, he's losing his fighters. No wonder he's charging extra on DAZN. Sad.
