Conor Benn v Chris Eubank Jr fight postponed
The fight between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr, due to take place in London on Saturday, has been postponed.
It comes after Benn, 26, returned what promoters said was an “adverse analytical finding for trace amounts of a fertility drug”.
The British Boxing Board of Control had said the bout was “prohibited and not in the interests of boxing”.
Promoter Matchroom confirmed on Thursday that the fight had been postponed.
“After discussions with various parties, we have taken the decision to formally postpone the bout between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn,” Matchroom said.
“It is undeniable that the British Boxing Board of Control’s decision to withdraw their sanctioning was procedurally flawed and without due process,” it added.
