Chris Eubank Jr has continued to assault Conor Benn on social media after a failed medicine take a look at by his rival resulted in Saturday’s grudge match being postponed.
The 157lbs catchweight combat on the O2 Arena was referred to as off after it was revealed that final month Benn examined constructive for hint quantities of fertility drug clomiphene, which elevates testosterone ranges in males.
Eubank Jr reacted angrily upon listening to the information, saying on Twitter that “Conor got caught using an illegal substance so the fight is off. Can’t believe it. He has escaped his schooling… for now.”
The 33-year-old has adopted that up with two extra digs at Benn, who insists he’s a “clean athlete”.
“Just got back to my hotel room to be greeted by another random drugs test… which as always I’m happy to take. 10 years & never failed one,” Eubank Jr stated.
In one other escalation in his confrontation, he posted a video of Benn criticising Jarrell Miller after his 2019 bout towards Anthony Joshua was cancelled as a result of the American had examined constructive for a number of prohibited substances.
“The biggest night of your life, the biggest fight of your career and you get tested positive for a banned substance….it baffles me,” Benn stated in an interview with Sky Sports.
“I’m not even at world level and my nutritionist has a go at me for taking vitamin C tablets if they haven’t been tested. So the team he’s got round him should say ‘listen, check all of your substances, you’re earning a few good quid here. Why put that at risk?’.”
Eubank accompanied the video with the comment, “I mean I really just don’t have any words at this point”.
The bout was supposed to be a continuation of the Benn v Eubank feud that noticed the rivals’ fathers battle it out in two ferocious contests within the early Nineteen Nineties.
A catchweight of 157lbs was agreed for the sons to proceed the household feud right into a trilogy combat, that means Benn must transfer up two weight divisions and Eubank lose three kilos.
Benn’s father Nigel, who now lives in Australia, has been current all through the build-up and on Friday morning he defended his son, who was on the cusp of a world title problem.
“Hi guys, as you know we’re in total shock. I’ve been with my son for the last 10 weeks and the training has just gone absolutely the best it could ever be,” Benn stated on Instagram.
“He’s a dedicated trainer. He leaves no stone unturned and we’ll get to the bottom of this.
“I love my son. I know he don’t cut no corners, he just goes straight at it 100 per cent. But we’ll keep you informed. We’ll let you know what the next step is. But you know, he’s a faithful trainer and he’s a clean athlete. Speak to you soon. God Bless.”
