What Eddie Hearn has said about Chris Eubank Jr vs Connor Benn fight after failed drugs test

Eddie Hearn has spoken out following the recent controversy surrounding Matchroom fighter Conor Benn in the lead-up to his catchweight bout against Chris Eubank Jr.

It was revealed yesterday that Benn had returned an adverse drug sample for banned substance Clomifene and both camps are said to be fighting tooth and nail to find a resolution ahead of Saturday's fight in the capital.

Today's press conference has been pushed back from its original time of 1pm to 4pm. Hearn has since addressed the claims that Benn has been suspended, insisting the 25-year-old awaits a decision from the Boxing's governing bodies.
