      Conor Benn cleared by WBC as boxing chiefs accept eating too many eggs explains failed drug test ahead of Eubank clash

      by

      CONOR BENN’S claims that a “high consumption of eggs” led to his failed drugs tests have been accepted by the WBC – but he can still only fight outside of the UK.British boxing was thrown into chaos just days before Benn’s grudge fight against Chris Eubank Jr in October when news of the adverse findings broke.

      Despite legal teams on both sides throwing everything at it, the fight, and the entire promotion, was scrapped.
      Benn vehemently protested his innocence, and although he was never BANNED from boxing, UKAD and the British Boxing Board of Control opened an investigation.
      Benn subsequently ripped up his British boxing licence over the escalating doping row.
      The WBC removed Benn from their rankings after traces of the banned substance Clomiphene was discovered in VADA urine samples.

      Clomiphene is sometimes used to increase egg production in hens.
      It can then be passed on to humans on digestion.
      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.
      And the organisation have now re-instated the 26-year-old after he appealed, and published a lengthy statement explaining their decision.
      Most read in Boxing
      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST SPORTS BETTING APPS IN THE UK
      It reads: “The WBC found that: (1) there was no conclusive evidence that Mr Benn engaged in intentional or knowing ingestion of Clomiphene.
      “(2) there were no failures in the procedures related to sample collection, sample analysis, or violations of Mr Benn’s B Sample rights that would justify questioning or invalidating the Adverse Finding.
      “And (3) Mr Benn’s documented and highly-elevated consumption of eggs during the times relevant to the sample collection, raised a reasonable explanation for the Adverse Finding.”
      Benn, son of the legendary former world champ Nigel, is still under investigation by UKAD and the BBBofC, meaning he can still not fight on these shores.
      But the WBC’s move means he could lace up the gloves to fight in another country.
      Speaking to SunSport previously, Benn admitted to eating “around 35-40 eggs a week” and believes this, or “contamination” is the only answer to the failed tests.
      He explained: “The test was taken at the end of July, and I found out at the end of August.
      “I passed all my UKAD tests, which people aren’t talking about. I’ve passed all my tests in and out of camp – I’ve been pro seven years. Never failed a test.
      “I signed up to VADA in February, so it doesn’t make any sense. Why would I take something then?
      “Trace amounts were found. The tiniest of traces. The only thing I can think is contamination.
      “I’ve not taken anything. I never have done, never would. It’s not what I stand for, it’s not what my team stands for.
      “Why would I take the biggest fight of my life, sign up for to VADA, voluntary anti-doping, and then this substance? If you Google this substance it stays in your system for months.
      “Do I look like an idiot?”
      The BBBofC have since released their own statement, keen to point out that the WBC is “a sanctioning body and not a governing body”.
      They add: “The BBBoC has adopted the UK Anti-Doping Rules published by UK Anti-Doping, and those formed part of the rules to which Mr Benn was bound.
      Read More on The Sun
      “As such, the decision of the WBC does not affect the ongoing implementation of the BBBoC’s rules (and those of UKAD).
      “The UK Anti-Doping Rules make clear what conduct constitutes an Anti-Doping Rule Violation as defined in those rules (and in the World Anti-Doping Code) and specifically set out the circumstances in which such violations can be committed by way of strict liability.”

      Jake Paul dodged a bullet by cancelling our fight, I would’ve painfully ended his boxing career, says Hasim Rahman Jr

      by

      HASIM RAHMAN JR claimed Jake Paul dodged a bullet and saved his boxing career after their cancelled fight. Paul on Sunday faces Tommy Fury, who was forced to pull out in December 2021 due to injury and again last August amid US visa issues.

      On the second occasion, heavyweight Rahman signed as a late replacement but was forced to come down TWO STONE to 200lb. 
      The New York State Athletic Commission later changed the bout to 205lb, but even then the two sides disagreed. 
      Eventually, the fight was scrapped with Rahman, 31, going on to sign for KSI’s Misfits Boxing banner after the ordeal. 
      He did hold an unoffical weigh in the day before the proposed bout to prove he could make the catchweight limit – but hit the scales at 206.6lb.

      Meanwhile Paul, 26, instead returned last October to beat UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, living to fight another day in Rahman’s eyes.
      He told SunSport: “He dodged a bullet, even when we were going to 205. That extra 5lb was literally all I needed. 
      “Had it actually been fight week, who knows? Maybe I would have actually made 205. I made 206 and weighed in like an hour early. 
      “Jake Paul’s team knew what they were doing, they knew not to give me any time to get ready, they wouldn’t put him in that position.

      “They all were telling him he was making a mistake by fighting me in the first place.” 
      After Rahman’s cancellation, Fury, 23, becomes the first opponent with a recognised boxing record Paul will face. 
      He has instead recorded wins over ex-MMA champions in Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Silva. 
      Paul twice beat ex-UFC welterweight champ Woodley, on points in August 2021 and then by KO in their rematch as Fury withdrew injured. 
      The American was taken the eight rounds – even punched through the ropes and threatened to retire – which later emerged as a joke. 
      But Rahman insisted the damage he was set to do on Paul would have been no laughing matter. 
      He said: “I don’t like Jake, I don’t like him. I think he would’ve retired from boxing, he wouldn’t have been able to go back to creator boxing. 
      “I think I would have hurt that man so bad, he would have been like, ‘I don’t think I want to do this anymore.’
      I don’t like Jake, I don’t like him. I think he would’ve retired from boxing, he wouldn’t have been able to go back to creator boxing. Hasim Rahman Jr on Jake Paul
      “He had that aura about him after he fought Tyron Woodley the first time, he didn’t seem too sure on whether he wanted to keep doing this. 
      “I can guarantee you he would’ve been in five-ten times more pain and had to go through five-ten times as much with me than he did with Tyron Woodley.” 
      Paul is set to move down to a career-lowest 185lb against Fury, having largely boxed at 190lb.
      Meanwhile Rahman was 226lb for his last fight, a loss to ex-NFL star and now heavyweight fighter, who weighed over SEVEN STONE more. 
      The weight disparity means the pair are not likely to ever cross paths and despite the bad blood, Rahman still backed Paul to beat Fury.

      He said: “I think Jake wins a decision. I’m not sold on Jake’s power. 
      “I don’t know much about Tommy but I’ve seen him box in spots and I definitely think Jake’s gonna win a decision.”

      They have rescheduled their grudge match in Saudi Arabia, where bragging rights, reputations and unbeaten records are at stake. 
      Fury revealed he left the mansion in Manchester which he shares with Molly-Mae to move into a separate apartment. 
      And the 2019 Love Island star – who met his partner on the TV show – insisted he could not be both a lover and a fighter during his training camp. 
      Fury, 23, told SunSport: “When you’re preparing for a fight, you have to get into a certain kind of mode.

      “If you’re sleeping in bed with your missus every night, what are you going to do? You’re in that cuddly mode. 
      “You’ll want to cuddle up and watch a film, it’s just natural instinct. I decided to take that out this time, I’ve been nothing but professional here. 
      “I’ve been sleeping in my own bed, by myself, all this camp. I’ve gone to a different place and done what needs to be done.” 
      The fight also comes just a month after Fury and Molly-Mae introduced baby daughter Bambi into the world.

      And the doting dad had to kiss goodbye to the pair when he jetted off to the Middle East – where he plans to take out his anger on Paul.
      Fury said: “He will feel every single sacrifice that I’ve had to make for this fight. And I’m just so confident. 
      “I know how confident I am in this fight, I’ve never been this confident before. 
      “I’m as confident in winning this fight as I am in walking down the stairs and eating my next meal.
      “This is what it is, I’ve trained hard and surrounded myself with a proper network, a winning network, world champions, better sparring. 
      “There’s nothing physically I could have done more and when you’ve been through a camp and done all of that, there’s no question, it’s full confidence.”

      Fury is set to become the first opponent with a recognised professional boxing record that Paul has so far faced. 
      That is after wins for the YouTuber-turned prizefighter over ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47. 
      Fury could become a hero overnight if he becomes the one to finally silence Paul in the ring. 
      But he is adamant none of that will matter to him – with his biggest fans waiting for him at home. 
      He said: “All that stuff doesn’t really faze me, I just want to knock this man out, shut him up and come back home to my family and spend some much needed family time.

      Derek Chisora says WBC champions including Tyson Fury should GIVE UP belts if Jake Paul is giving a ranking

      It has been confirmed the victor will earn themselves a spot in the top 40 of the WBC’s cruiserweight rankings.
      Chisora, who came up short against Tommy’s brother Tyson Fury for the WBC heavyweight title in December of last year, is helping to promote Paul’s Middle Eastern dust-up.
      Yet, despite his affiliation with the event, he was quick to condemn the governing body’s decision to hand a ranking position to the winner.
      Speaking to The Mail, he said: “Do you know what, if he gets a ranking with the WBC, I personally think everybody in the WBC should come out of the rankings and be in another federation.

      “Everyone should just drop the WBC and say, ‘I’m not fighting for it anymore’. That’s not fair.
      “There’s other boxers who have been slaving themselves, making weight, fighting and because he’s boxed two fighters they give him a WBC ranking? No, it’s unfair. 
      “If they do that, I urge everyone in the WBC rankings – drop the belts, who cares?
      “Belts do not pay the bills for most fighters.

      “As Mike Tyson says, it’s garbage. Most of it is garbage to be honest with you.”
      Fury will be the first recognised professional boxer Paul has faced following wins over YouTuber AnEsonGib, basketball player Nate Robinson and MMA trio Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva.
      Meanwhile, Fury is 8-0 but has yet to fight anybody of note.
      The bout was scheduled twice before but never materialised due to Fury pulling out on both occasions.
      In 2021, he withdrew because of injury and illness.
      Then last year visa issues forced him to pass up the opportunity once more.

      The 2019 Love Island star prepared for the rescheduled grudge match in Bolton, at Alex Matvienko’s Elite Boxing Gym. 
      And they welcomed in bare-knuckle boxing veteran Christie, who was so convinced by what he saw he whacked a wager on Fury to beat Paul. 
      But he warned the 8-0 prospect to box smart and not let his heart rule his head with tensions running high in the celebrity boxing rivalry. 
      Christie told SunSport: “I’ve put a nice bet on him down at the bookies, I’m very confident he’ll get the win.

      “But in my opinion, with this becoming a very personal affair he may become overzealous, he may – and I hope he doesn’t – go looking for the knockout. 
      “Once it turns into a firefight it’s anybody’s  game and Jake Paul is a powerful lad as we know. 
      “But for me, the keys for victory for Tommy are just using his good boxing, using his good fundamentals, doubling and tripling up that jab. 
      “A lot of feints, a lot of movement and just busting him up over the first few rounds and just getting him frustrated and marking him up.

      “I think Tommy can win quite easily if he sticks to his fundamentals but like I said, if it turns into a firefight, who knows? It’s anyone’s game.” 
      Christie was pleasantly surprised with Fury’s boxing fundamentals, revealing: “He nullified a lot of things that I like to do. 
      “I like to stand my ground and let them do the hard work but Tommy’s footwork was superior to mine. 
      “He had me doing all the things I don’t like to do, I was overarching, overextending, leaving my feet behind and he was making me pay. 
      “Any counters that I could get off, I was only landing single shots really, I couldn’t put anything together.

      But Fury, 23, will be the first opponent with a recognised boxing record that the YouTuber-turned prizefighter has faced. 
      And Christie believes Fury can make easy work of Paul if he sticks to a box-and-move game plan. 
      He said: “For whatever it’s worth, I think Tommy boxes the head off him. 
      “I think if Tommy sticks to his footwork and his jab with good fundamentals and keeps him long, and looking to set punches up after busting him up for a couple of rounds, I think he can get the job done quite easily.

      Fury pulled out of their original date in December 2021 with injury and illness.
      And then the Manchester fighter had visa issues while trying to get over the US to promote their second fight, with that bout being called off too.
      Paul instead fought Anderson Silva, beating him on points to rack up his sixth win as a professional boxer, while Fury was last in action in an exhibition on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Deji against Rolly Lambert.

      The American grew in popularity and currently sits at 20.3 million subscribers as of January 2023.
      Paul’s videos typically include vlogs and at one point in his career, he filmed vlogs every day.
      This led to him creating the song “It’s Everyday Bro,” which is the third-most disliked video ever uploaded on YouTube.
      In 2017, Paul created an entertainment group called Team 10, which was a collection of social media stars.
      Paul was also a Disney star on the show Bizaardvark.

      AARON CHALMERS has offered to fight either Jake Paul or Tommy Fury – once he has taken care of business with Floyd Mayweather. The Geordie Shore star welcomes Mayweather to a British ring for the first time in the American legend’s career on Saturday, at the O2 Arena.

      Floyd Mayweather has had five exhibitions since officially retiring
      It comes on the eve of Paul’s rescheduled grudge match with Fury, who twice pulled out in the past amid injury and US visa issues. 
      Chalmers will be waiting in the wings for either celebrity boxing star as he prepares to share the ring with boxing royalty.

      “I would like two big years and those two names after the Floyd fight are the ones I kind of thought were getting away from us.

      “But now, because of the Floyd fight it puts us right back into the mix with all these big names.

      Chalmers, 35, argued his fight with all-time great Mayweather, 46 on Friday, is the bigger of the two but will watch Paul’s fight with Fury as an eager fan. 
      He said: “I’m going to have to say me, obviously.

      “I’m not gonna say them two. Their fight is massive, but I think they’re both big fights in their own right.

      But Fury, 23, carries a weight of expectation having been warned by his champion brother Tyson, 34, to stay in the Middle East and vacate their surname if he loses. 
      It leaves Chalmers – who was 5-2 in MMA and won his boxing debut last year – struggling to split the two. 
      He said: “This is a tough one; a tough one because on paper Jake’s fought better people but not boxers.
