Eddie Hearn has said Conor Benn could take legal action against the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC), over a claim that the fighter has not been through a proper investigation following his failed drug tests.
Benn’s planned bout with Chris Eubank Jr fell through on short notice in October 2022, after it was revealed that Benn had failed two drug tests. He was later stripped of his licence by the BBBofC and charged by UK Anti-Doping (Ukad), before the World Boxing Council (WBC) cleared the 27-year-old of any intentional wrongdoing and the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) lifted a provisional suspension.
