Chris Eubank Jr still hopes to touch gloves with Conor Benn in a hugely-anticipated domestic showdown this weekend.
The British pair are due to settle a rivalry which has began ever since their fathers first touched gloves 32 years ago in an epic two-part clash. But the fight was plunged into doubt earlier this week when it was revealed Benn failed a drug test in August.
Both fighters want the bout to proceed but the British Boxing Board of Control has insisted they will not sanction the fight - leaving promoters Eddie Hearn and Kalle Sauerland locked in a legal battle.
