Conor Benn is eager to get to the bottom of the drug test failure that saw caused his fight with Chris Eubank Jr to be postponed, according to Ricky Hatton.
Benn and Eubank Jr were scheduled to settle their family feud at The O2 on Saturday night, 30 years on from their fathers' rematch that ended in a draw. But the fight was called off after Benn tested positive for the banned substance clomifene, a drug that is usually prescribed to treat infertility in women but can also boost testosterone production in men.
Hatton, who turned 44 on Thursday, revealed the conversation he had with Benn after he was notified of his test failure. "Conor's said to me 'I don't know how this has happened, I can't wait to get to the bottom of this myself' and I believe him wholeheartedly, I do. At the end of the day, even though I believe Conor when he says it, rules are rules," he told iD Boxing.
