Conor Benn has hit out at those who have criticised him following his failed drugs test that saw his bout with Chris Eubank Jr cancelled last week.
Benn has remained relatively quiet since the bout was officially called off, aside from a brief statement where he insisted that he is planning to prove his innocence through standard procedures. He has declared himself a "clean athlete", and is still considering whether or not he should reschedule the highly-anticipated grudge fight.
The Benn and Eubank rivalry is one that has lasted through decades, with their fathers Nigel and Chris Sr fighting twice in the 90s for the middleweight and super-middleweight titles. The bout between the two sons of legends was being viewed as a familial trilogy, and sold out The O2 arena in minutes, with pay-per-view sales expected to be massive on DAZN as well.
