I've seen a couple of videos of him eating during an interview. No class whatsoever.

Really who cares what gonna happen next , best scenario they allow him to fight a british fighter and he gets sparkled .

Am I right in thinking the primary reason he was allowed to fight by American commissions was that he wasn't actually suspended by the Board or UKAD?
That's him shafted now then. Saudi or bust for him. Turki ought to give Ava the call to finally put the nail into the coffin for Benn's career.

Yup. His suspension was lifted which meant he could fight anywhere in the world really (except the U.K.). Now he’s suspended again he won’t fight until something is resolved. Saudi boxing is currently governed by the British board of control so he won’t be fighting there either.cpx2 wrote: ↑12 May 2024, 06:33 Am I right in thinking the primary reason he was allowed to fight by American commissions was that he wasn't actually suspended by the Board or UKAD?

They just need to get it resolved now either way.

Maybe Zaire is the obvious option, sell it as a homage to Ali, and obviously it. Is outside of licensing restrictionsmaverick23 wrote: ↑12 May 2024, 07:30Yup.

By October he’ll get a back dated 2 year ban then he’ll be ready to fight

How can he get a backdated ban when he fought twice in that period?Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑12 May 2024, 08:12 By October he’ll get a back dated 2 year ban then he’ll be ready to fight
I’d agree that that’s probably what they would have done but it’s still a complete mess.

At this point who cares. No doubt he’ll eventually get a bigger fight, lose horribly, lose again at domestic level and retire. Something of that nature.

Anyone heard anything about his situation, all gone quiet unless I missed something.

The Saudi takeover has clearly dented his cause. I bet his calls to Eddie go to voicemail these days. Who cares about him and his tedious and utterly joyless delusions.
Re: Conor Benn - What Next?
Posted: 16 Jun 2024, 07:12
It's true that now Fast Car is earning more than ever, his investment in Benn isn't as important to him.
Also the Saudi fights are under BBBoC jurisdiction, so he can't put Benn on there, and the boat isn't worth rocking
Re: Conor Benn - What Next?

Eddie’s like “Conor who?”
Re: Conor Benn - What Next?

Yes very true, they will be wanting to stage as many fights as they can under this Saudi umbrella, Benn is now a liability to Hearn.

Isn't he fighting Harlem Eubank? 
Re: Conor Benn - What Next?

Not anywhere with anything approaching a real boxing commission
Re: Conor Benn - What Next?

Eubank Jr and Benn the forgotten boxers of british boxing.

the only fight benn has right now is with his own ego .
he cud have come clean about the meds he took and had a ban over and done way before now .
total bellend for doing whatever he did but also for trying to wriggle out of his responsibility.

This is why this is a total sh!t show.
How far are along the process?
And no one none the wiser.
Conor, Eddie have effed this up royally.
Can u imagine if Boots bites to Conor?
Jeez
Eat crow, take punishment and go again.
Payday needed though

It's a textbook example of how not to deal with this sort of situation. Should have quietly taken his bam and got on with it, boxing is so dirty anyway that it would have been quickly forgotten. Refusing to engage the process and throwing tantrums like a child has completely fvcked his career, maybe permanently.
