Conor Benn issues statement after giving up boxing licence following failed drugs test

Conor Benn has again insisted he is clean despite relinquishing his boxing licence following his failed drugs test.

The Brit had been due to face off against Chris Eubank Jr earlier this month but the fight was postponed after Benn returned a test for banned substance clomifene.

The British Boxing Board of Control, who insisted the fight was prohibited from taking place, announced on Wednesday that Benn had given up his licence at a hearing last week. It was also confirmed a hearing over "allegations of misconduct" against Benn had been upheld, with the boxer's future in the ring remaining unclear.
