Chris Eubank Jr has mocked Conor Benn for failing a drug test by posting a picture of himself seemingly giving a urine sample after their fight was called off.
Benn and Eubank Jr were due to renew their fathers legendary feud in a 157lb catchweight fight at The O2 arena tomorrow night, but the grudge match was called off after Benn tested positive for the banned substance clomifene, a drug that is usually prescribed to treat infertility in women but can also boost testosterone production in men. Benn did pass UKAD drug tests after being flagged by VADA for the substance, but the British Boxing Board of Control refused to sanction the fight and it was subsequently cancelled.
Eubank Jr insisted Benn had "escaped a schooling for now", potentially hinting the pair will still meet in a rescheduled clash despite the drug test controversy. In an attempt to goad his rival after the fight was cancelled, Eubank Jr posted a picture of UKAD paying him a visit with the caption: "Just got back to my hotel room to be greeted by another random drugs test… which as always I’m happy to take. 10 years and never failed one."
