Clearly there are ongoing discussions between the teams' legal representatives and the British Boxing Board of Control, so this is a developing situation. The authority of the board has also been defied in the past when promoters have used other governing bodies. There are precedents in boxing for a fight to go ahead when one of the boxers has committed a doping violation. The British Boxing Board of Control has prohibited this fight from taking place on Saturday. The issue here is that it is not used by the British Boxing Board of Control and so not recognised by the body that is licensing this fight. Speaking on the Matchroom Youtube channel, Hearn said, "Both guys signed up to a multitude of testing for this fight. Matchroom, Benn's promoters, have pointed out that his B sample has not been tested yet and so a rule violation has not been confirmed. If you fail a test you're banned and in my opinion you should be banned for life." That was communicated to the Boxers and Promoters involved on the morning of 5th October 2022." Indeed, Mr Benn has not been charged with any rule violation, he is not suspended, and he remains free to fight. I am ready, I am a clean fighter, I have cut the weight, I'm ready to go. "There was no phone call," he said at the workout.

“The tests were carried out by VADA, a body athletes voluntarily enrol in and which, in this case all parties agreed to, paid and contracted with. It was the right decision in my opinion." We could have put it on at the O2 on Saturday. “They can argue legal cases all they want but there is no case to be had here. He wrote on social media: "How about I get you a jet to the UK tomorrow and we scrap at The O2 on Saturday for the fans that are now missing out because Conor Benn fumbled AND crumbled under the pressure. Managers, promoters, and the BBBofC are there to protect these brave men, sometimes from themselves. Eubank Jr replied to the tweet and said: “Don’t worry mate I’ll pay for your tattoo removal. What we’ve got to do is move at speed here and we want answers from various different people. “That right time is, I don’t know, two weeks, a month, six months, a year? It can increase testosterone in a male to help increase pregnancy, and you can take it in tablet form. If he takes a four-year ban because of it, he takes a four-year ban. It doesn’t look like there is any way to explain that to me.
