Chris Eubank Jr has insisted that Conor Benn’s UK Anti-Doping ruling ‘doesn’t imply something’, after the organisation cleared the welterweight to field in Britain once more.
A battle between Eubank Jr and Benn fell aside in October after the latter failed two drug assessments. Benn, 26, was cleared by the WBC earlier this yr, with UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) now following swimsuit. However, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) has recommended that it could problem Ukad’s ruling.
Eubank Jr, 33, has challenged the ruling in his personal method, telling the Daily Mirror on Wednesday (2 August): “Lawyers and court hearings and essays and [Benn’s promoter] Eddie Hearn saying all the things he’s saying… it doesn’t mean anything.
“The fact is you got caught twice, and no one’s ever gonna forget it. It doesn’t mean that you didn’t do what you did, because you did do it.
“You wanna say: ‘I’m absolved and it was all a big misunderstanding.’ Bulls***.”
However, Eubank Jr remains to be eager to face his fellow Briton after a rematch with Liam Smith in September. Smith stopped Eubank Jr within the fourth spherical in January, and the pair will now return to the AO Arena in Manchester because the latter eyes revenge.
“Boxing’s a business and I still wanna fight [Benn], so the fight will be made at some point,” Eubank Jr mentioned.
