Conor Benn has admitted he felt like he was on "death row" as criticism gathered pace following his two failed drug tests.
The rising star was set to face Chris Eubank Jr in the biggest fight of his career last year but failed two drug tests which saw the fight scrapped at short notice when the British Board of Boxing control refused to sanction the contest. Benn decided to give up his boxing licence and appeal the decision, which involved handing a 270-page document to the WBC to prove his innocence.
Benn recently released a statement after the WBC cleared him of any international doping violation, but he was unhappy with the final action taken by the organisation. The 26-year-old has also yet to discover if he will be able to box in the UK again in line with BBBofC jurisdictions, but has suggested he will continue to box abroad in the meantime.
