Conor Benn makes "evidence doesn't lie" claim after failed drug test

Conor Benn has declared the "evidence doesn't lie" as he continues to insist he has proven his innocence following a failed drug test last year.

Benn has yet to be officially exonerated by the British Boxing Board of Control, the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) or the World Boxing Council (WBC) after his bout with Chris Eubank Jr was cancelled last October. But that hasn't stopped the young fighter from insisting he is innocent, and declaring he has proven such.

His promoter Eddie Hearn has already been discussing options for a return to the ring this year, although it appears no decision has been made regarding the 26-year-old's future. And in a new social media post, Benn wrote that "the evidence doesn't lie" and again defended himself against accusations of cheating.
