Conor Benn insists both he and Chris Eubank Jr want their fight to go ahead this weekend.
The welterweight contender has moved up almost two weight classes to fight Eubank Jr in a revival of their fathers' rivalry, but put the fight in jeopardy when he returned a positive drug test to the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA). He showed trace amounts of clomifene; a female fertility drug that is known to increase testosterone in men.
The British Boxing Board of Control insist they will not allow the fight to go ahead, but promoter Eddie Hearn remains hopeful a solution can be found. And Benn said: "I have not committed any violations and I've not been suspended. As far as I'm concerned the fight is going to go ahead.
