    Conor Benn’s boxing return after failed drugs test BLOCKED as doping chiefs appeal against decision to end suspension

    CONOR BENN has had the lifting of his provisional ban appealed against by Ukad and the BBBofC.The 26-year-old welterweight is still fighting to prove his innocence, after two failed tests in the build-up to his cancelled October clash with Chris Eubank Jr.

    Last month, following a video-call hearing with the National Anti-Doping Panel, a provisional suspension on the son of British ring legend Nigel was lifted, freeing him to fight again.
    However Ukad – who police and punish doping in British boxing – are unhappy with the decision and have pushed back just within their 21-day window of opportunity.
    A statement read: “UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) can today confirm that it has filed an appeal in respect of a decision handed down by the independent National Anti-Doping Panel regarding anti-doping proceedings brought by UKAD against Mr Conor Benn.
    “As confirmed previously in UKAD’s statement on 28 July 2023, Mr Benn is no longer subject to a provisional suspension.

    “The appeal process will now be followed in accordance with the UK Anti-Doping Rules.
    “UKAD issues this statement in accordance with Article 14.3.4 of the World Anti-Doping Code and is not able to make any further public disclosures at this time.”
    Benn has successfully applied for an American licence, however his pulling power is in the UK where promoter Eddie Hearn is desperate for him to resume his career.
    The appeals process could take up to two months and sideline Benn – who last boxed in April 2022 – for close to two years.

    Benn’s last action came when he beat Chris van Heerden in Manchester.
    The ban he is battling against – for two findings of the female fertility drug clomiphene – is also for two years.
    Benn’s case preceded Dillian Whyte’s bout with Anthony Joshua getting cancelled after he returned adverse findings in his Vada tests in the build-up to their August 12 rematch.

    He shouts advice at the screen before mocking Usyk, saying: “See him there, he couldn’t knock the skin off a rice pudding.
    “I will smoke that little motherf***er’s boots. Five or six years ago, I relieved a Ukrainian of all of the the belts before in [Wladimir] Klitschko. F*** them.”
    Fury begins to call Joshua on as he screamed: “Go on AJ, good jab son! Left hook to the body, let’s go! Bang, bang, bang!
    “Let them rip, both hands.”

    But showing signs of frustration, Fury sighed: “Come on, get stuck in son! Swing some shots for God’s sake. This is shockingly s****.”
    Usyk beat Joshua on points twice in the space of 11 months.
    But Fury, 35, was left unimpressed, saying: “I’ll tell you what I’ll do, I’ll go over there and I’ll fight them both in the same night.
    “That’s how s*** they are, they are f***ing s***. Thought it was a s*** fight, honestly I thought it was a proper s**** fight.

    And after Usyk failed in talks to fight Fury, he was later ordered into a WBA mandatory defence against Daniel Dubois set for August 26.

    But the promoter has already started the fighting words by questioning Wilder’s record.
    He told Boxing Social: “I cannot believe how highly people rate Deontay Wilder. He’s never beaten a top-five heavyweight.
    “Luis Ortiz is his best win – he was getting smashed in the first fight, he was 7-0 down in the second fight. He’s never beaten an elite heavyweight.”
    Wilder, 37, made ten successful WBC title defences, losing only to Tyson Fury, 35, in their rematch and trilogy bout.

    The American returned last October, knocking out Robert Helenius, 39, in just 40 seconds.
    And it was Helenius who replaced Dillian Whyte, 35, following a failed test to fight Joshua, 33.
    AJ took seven rounds to take Helenius out and Hearn hopes it will set up the blockbuster bout with Wilder.
    He said: “I think that he can beat Deontay Wilder comfortably, but he could also get beat by Deontay Wilder.

    “I don’t think necessarily, I mean, the good thing is he got – what was it – seven rounds in against a tall opponent who can punch a bit with the backhand?
    “I think it’s difficult to replicate certainly the power of Deontay Wilder. But I’ve always felt that AJ can outbox Deontay Wilder.”
    Hearn is set to conduct talks with Saudi’s Skills Challenge Entertainment and Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel.

    “I think they enjoyed it because they all agreed to do it, we talked to the bigger two, the little ones were too young, the big two we were like ‘Do you want to do it, do you want to be involved?’
    “And they were like ‘Yeah, yeah’, but then there’s times when I suppose you don’t want to.
    “Especially when Tyson said no he didn’t want to. We got halfway through filming, and he wanted to cancel the whole show!”

    “That’s just my bipolar going up and down all the time, one minute I’m happy, the next minute I’m not and it’s very evident to see my emotional roller-coaster throughout this episode.
    “People are going to be shocked because I can take ten turns in an hour.”
