      Conor Benn planning to sue British boxing chiefs for £3.5MILLION over drug test drama that KOd Chris Eubank fight

      by

      CONOR BENN is reportedly set to sue British Boxing chiefs over the drama which saw his fight against Chris Eubank Jr collapse. Benn was due to fight Eubank Jr on October 10 last year, before the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) KO’d the fight after Benn failed a drug test.

      But Benn was later cleared by the WBCCredit: PA
      However, Benn, who vehemently protested his innocence, has now been cleared by the WBC after they accepted the cause of the failure was down to eating too many eggs.
      According to the Daily Mail, a furious Benn is planning a £3.5million lawsuit against the BBBoC for the 50 per cent stake he was due from the reported £7m fight purse.
      Benn told the Mail: “I’ve always been innocent and the Board have known about this for ages except they chose to call the show off two days before [it was due to take place].
      “There’s been other fighters in the past who have tested positive under UKAD (UK Anti-Doping), and the board have done nothing. They’ve still been allowed to fight.

      “It’s just strange to me that VADA – the Voluntary Anti-doping Organisation that I employed myself for this fight – they’ve [the BBBoC] taken notice of other fighters who have failed the Board’s own testing agencies.
      “It is just baffling to me. I don’t know if there’s an agenda there or if they’re out for me because my dad [Nigel Benn] ripped up his British boxing licence on TV.”
      Benn followed in his father’s footsteps in ripping up his boxing licence as his doping row escalated.
      Traces of the banned substance Clomiphene, which is sometimes used in egg production for hens, was discovered in VADA urine samples.

      Benn submitted a 270-page document to the WBC protesting his innocence in December, highlighting that he passed a pair of UKAD tests taken around the same time.
      The organisation have now re-instated the 26-year-old after he appealed, and published a lengthy statement explaining their decision.
      They found that a “highly-elevated consumption of eggs” was a “reasonable explanation” for the findings.
      Benn added: “It’s killed me [emotionally], definitely.
      “It’s like people have been waiting for something. People have been waiting for this. There are people who know me, know my team, and they know what we represent. It’s all just crazy.”
      Despite being cleared, Benn is still unable to fight in the UK due to an ongoing investigation from UKAD and the BBBofC.
      The highly-anticipated clash was set to see a new generation rematch of Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank, so had a special fervour among British boxing fans. More

      🥊 How to watch Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel
      Backup fighter Mike Perry uploaded a photo to his Twitter page alleging it to be the “script” of the fight between Paul and Fury.
      Despite Perry’s baseless online accusation, representatives for the promoters in Saudi Arabia confirmed to SunSport that the allegations are completely false.
      They said: “We can confirm, it’s fake.”
      Furthermore, Troop Boxing Promotions does not even exist, according to Google.
      According to the document: “Paul lands huge right hand that sends Fury crashing to the canvas…
      “The ringside doctor rushes in to check on Fury, but he waves him away.
      “Tommy shall then act out an eye injury that forces the referee to call off the fight, declaring Jake Paul the winner by TKO.”
      The so-called script suggests “The Problem Child” will walk out in a baby outfit mocking his opponent while Fury will dedicate his costume to his wife (Molly Mae) and new-born child.
      Most read in Boxing
      Fury will take control of the fight in rounds one and two before Paul turns it around in round three, with Fury having problems with his eye from rounds four onwards.
      After the bout, the pair will continue to fight before Paul calls out British Entertainer KSI, which will then be followed by Fury asking for a rematch, which will be accepted.
      And fans online believe this so-called “script” to be a load of nonsense as well.
      One user said: “Mike this is low… just stop 😂”
      A second user posted: “1. Troop Boxing Promotions doesn’t exist let alone is involved with this fight. 2. How do you script an eye literally swelling shut. 3. ‘Rematch in LA’. Tommy can’t enter the US 🤦‍♂️.”
      A third wrote: “This script is scripted.”
      A fourth slammed: “😂😂😂 Someone needs some attention on social media.”
      While a fifth added: “It’s someone trying to manipulate betting markets… fake as.”

      He took on former reality TV star Aaron Chalmers, 35, in an exhibition bout at London’s O2 Arena.
      Ring veteran Mayweather looked far too strong for a man in just his second ever boxing fight.
      But the O2 Arena was sparsely attended… at best and it wasn’t immediately clear if there was even a winner.

      The entire top tier of the 20,000-seat arena was shut off.
      And there were huge swathes of empty seats in the lower tier, as punters stayed away from a bout against former Geordie Shore star Chalmers, dubbed a “sham” by fight fans.
      Mayweather did his best to appeal to his UK fans who might remember the PPV days and Ricky Hatton showdown.
      He even wore the Union Jack on his shorts and had blue gloves with red trim to match.

      The end result of a wide points win for Mayweather never seemed in doubt.
      But the referee raised both fighters’ arms at the end to signal a draw.

      But London might not be on the cards anytime soon given the fans’ no show.
      Speaking in his post-fight press conference, Mayweather said: “We did this in one month – not even four weeks.
      “I think the tickets should’ve went on sale a lot faster.

      Fury has been so impressed with his brother in training that he is confident that he will beat the American.
      The Gypsy King insisted that the 23-year-old almost knocks out all of his partners that he faces in sparing ahead of the grudge match.
      Fury told iFL TV: “Tommy knocks out 90 per cent of people that he spars with or drops them at least, so he’s a very hard puncher and Jake Paul will find that out tomorrow.
      “I’ve got 100 racks on it for an inside-the-distance stoppage, so if he loses, then I’ll lose 100 bags as well. I’ve got him at 3-1.

      “I know Tommy is going to knock him out.
      “What is a little bit stupid is I see all these experts and professional boxers picking Jake Paul over Tommy.
      “I’m like, ‘What the hell are these guys watching?’, because Tommy will absolutely deck him.
      “I think Tommy can get him out of there whenever really.
