Conor Benn 'prohibited' to fight Chris Eubank Jr amid failed drugs test claims

Conor Benn's upcoming bout against Chris Eubank Jr that was schedulded to take place this weekend has been 'prohibited' by the The British Boxing Board of Control.

The 26-year-old is reported to have been randomly tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association [VADA] with sources initially throwing this weekend's bout in London into serious doubt.

However, with a statement soon following insisting Benn was free to fight, the catch weight fight once again looks in serious doubt. Both fighters could still however give the fight the green light, with a boxing licence not needed for the fight to go ahead by law.
