Chris Eubank has defended Conor Benn over the adverse drug test result that led to the cancellation of the 26-year-old’s fight with Eubank Jr last week.
Almost 30 years after Eubank Sr faced Nigel Benn for the second and final time, the rivals’ sons were due to go head to head at London’s O2 Arena last Saturday. However, the younger Benn returned a test result with trace amounts of a fertility drug – namely the banned substance clomifene – and the British Boxing Board of Control subsequently prohibited the main-event contest from taking place.
