Conor Benn works out for two minutes before leaving ring amid drug test controversy

Conor Benn didn't spend long at his open workout ahead of this weekend's fight with Chris Eubank Jr amid controversy over his positive drug test.

Benn tested positive during a voluntary drug test for the banned substance clomifene, which is a female fertility drug that can also boost testosterone levels in men, but has since passed UKAD tests. However, the British Boxing Board of Control have declared that they won't be sanctioning the fight, which Matchroom Boxing are appealing.

And the 26-year-old made a brief appearance at his open workout on Wednesday, which took place against a backdrop of uncertainty over the fight's status. However, he didn't stay long and after a brief chat with Matchroom Boxing's YouTube channel he made a two-minute appearance in the ring and proceeded to leave the event.
