Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn to be rescheduled after failed drug test

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn 's grudge fight which was due to take place this Saturday will be rescheduled after Benn failed a drug test.

The fight was put in jeopardy on Wednesday after news broke that Benn had been flagged for the women's fertility drug clomifene stemming from a VADA test in September. The British Boxing Board of Control refused to sanction the bout after Benn's test failure and the rivals will now have to wait to settle their differences as their grudge fight will be rescheduled for a later date.

Co-promoter Kalle Sauerland said: "The matter was taken out of our hands, and the handling of it we feel was totally inappropriate. We now look at a case of rescheduling it."
