Conor Benn has claimed his team has proven his innocence after he failed two drug tests in the build-up to his ill-fated fight with Chris Eubank Jr.
The rising star was set to face bitter rival Eubank Jr in a huge domestic clash in October, but the fight was cancelled after Benn failed a voluntary VADA drug test ahead of his ring return. The British Boxing Board of Control refused to sanction the bout which left organisers with no choice but to cancel the showdown, before Benn elected to relinquish his licence.
Benn was subsequently removed from the world rankings and was set to undergo a number of disciplinary hearings to understand the fate of his boxing career. The British star has pleaded his innocence throughout the case, insisting that he did not take any banned substance prior to the clash.
