Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn | PPV - 26 April 2025

[TheLeprechaun]

Was his drug test fail the highest profile drug test failure in the history of British Boxing? British sport even?

I think that promotors/high ups think that boxing fans are mugs and will swallow most things but this might be completely different. It was too high profile. I think it's going to be impossible to cleanse his reputation.

[tony1234]

A load of waffle but not one ounce of proof that he didn't fail the drug test, if this was true he would be sueing the backsides off anyone who stopped him boxing

Yes... and his fans on this forum give him a pass.

Are you this agitated about all the other PED cheats? James Toney, Tyson Fury etc

[Counter-puncher]

If you read what I wrote, whatever anger I’ve got is for the statement and it’s hypocritical, condescending, disingenuous tone. The act of taking PED’s, meh, I’m against it, but I’ve seldom seen a positive test reacted to in a more mealy-mouthed weasel-worded fashion, and seldom can I recall such a statement fundamentally insulting our collective intelligence to this degree. The actual-aggrieved tone, the entitlement, is incredible, and his outrage at his being ‘judged’ *when he has actually failed a test* would be comical if it wasn’t so jarring. He’s giving the Lance Armstrong level of indignantion but it’s with the Big Baby Miller level of actually passing tests. At least Lance never actually failed a test, he kind of had a right to be indignant even if he was dirty. This kids got no self-awareness.

Show some respect, C-P. This is a god fearing man you’re talking about. He looked right into Eddie’s eyes and said he wasn’t guilty. If that doesn’t convince you, what will ?!

[margaret thatcher]

ya, lots of cheats out there, but not all of them come out with such woe is me you're all just wankers bs like that. benn and ed have looked awful in thsi

[maverick23]

They all seem to have a lot of confidence. I think the worst they’re expecting is a short ban but the ruling saying they don’t believe Conor intentionally cheated.

Given it’s the WBC who’ll be making the ruling I wonder how that leaves things with UKAD/the BBBC.

[Boxerbeetle]

The WBC are incredibly corrupt, so wouldn’t be at all surprised if they let him off.

I’d normally agree but I’d also imagine they’d want to show their clean boxing program is working properly. That’s what makes me think 6 month ban from the second failed test, then saying they don’t believe he intentionally cheated and Benn back out in March/April.

Gods saving him now

Father and baby doing well by all accounts

[CaptainSpacerod]

I wonder whether he’ll be back in the lab with Dr Sims for his “comeback fight” or will he jump ship.

Dr Sims will have a mate. Two degrees of separation should be enough. It isn't like anyone is actually digging into this are they?

[polecateddy]

He’s effectively blaming the farmers for the contamination that has happened TWICE! Tyson Fury blamed a farmer too. They have a lot to answer for!

Eubank on Benn Fight: ‘We Now Have Our Own Reasoning for Wanting to Fight’

“I think so,” Eubank Jr. told iFL TV in regards to fighting Benn in the future. “I hope so. Now we have our own story. Now we have our own reasoning for wanting to fight. Now it’s not just 'your fathers fought, so now you guys should fight.' Now we have our own thing. Now we have our own score to settle.”

Fair play to Eubank. He's a grown up, he can make his own decisions.

At least he didn't blame Kid Galahad's brother, or Carl Lewis's mysterious team mate.

Oi!
We are far too busy fixing fences, mending pumps, scrubbing troughs, welding gates, servicing tractors, gravelling muddy tracks and rooting livestock to bother with that crap.

[gregregegg]

I have to confess, when i was driving a tractor Id toss a handfull of roids out the window now and then hoping an elite athlete would eat food from the farm and test positive. It put me in crippling debt, but good to know i may have finally got one.

[KiwiRider]

I remember trying to lodge a steroid tablet into the eye of me c*ck and trying to f*ck it into the chicken.
Bloody hassle if you ask me.
