The undercard fighters for Conor Benn's showdown with Chris Eubank Jr have been left fuming after losing out on their fight purses.
Benn was set to meet Eubank Jr tomorrow night at London's O2 arena in a huge pay-per-view bill which featured the likes of Lyndon Arthur, Felix Cash and Shannon Courtenay. However the fight was left in jeopardy after Benn failed a VADA drug test despite the promoters and fighters insisting the event would take place.
After exploring various avenues following the British Boxing Board of Control's decision to "prohibit" the event, an official statement was released yesterday confirming that the fight was postponed. Several undercard fighters were then left with the reality of losing out on their purses, which are essential to cover the cost of their training, diet and travel.
