Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn confirmed the postponement of Chris Eubank Jnr's fight against Conor Benn on Thursday, after the British Boxing Board of Control ruled that the fight should not take place following a drug test failed by Benn in the weeks building up to the fight.
Eubank Jnr was expected to have undergone the biggest weight cut of his career in order to reach the 157lbs catchweight for the fight, but the cancellation was confirmed on the day of the press conference on Thursday.
Benn and Matchroom are believed to have attempted to keep the fight alive, with an attempt to reach an agreement in the High Court for the fight to take place. However, a verdict would have come too late, with a decision not possible until Friday which would have been 24 hours before the fight.
