Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr held private talks after failed drug test

Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr had a private conversation after the former returned an adverse finding in a drug test before their fight this weekend.

The third instalment in the Benn and Eubank rivalry sees welterweight Conor take on middleweight Chris Jr decades after the pair's fathers Nigel and Chris Sr fought twice in the 90s. There is no love lost between the two families and both men have overcome significant obstacles in order to make the fight including a seemingly insurmountable size difference.

Benn's drug test was part of VADA testing, and in the time since it was taken he has been tested again and returned negative results, while the B sample has also not yet been examined. And both men have agreed to still fight after a secret meeting held with neither of their promoters of representatives present.
