Ricky Hatton has recalled text messages with Conor Benn where the rising star explained his "hard" couple of months.
It was a difficult 2022 for rising star Benn who was forced to cancel his grudge fight with Chris Eubank Jr after failing a drug test in the build-up to the clash. The 26-year-old elected to forfeit his licence with the British Boxing Board of Control and relinquished his place in the world rankings while disciplinary proceedings took place.
In a statement just before the turn of the year, Benn insisted he had now proven his innocence along with his team and is now waiting to give a fresh update. Now, British boxing royalty Hatton insisted that the young talent should be given a second chance by fans when he is able to fight again.
