    Fury had the wild boar excuse. For clomid the only possible excuse is swallowing a load lol

    Despite his inevitably optimistic IFLTV interview later on today, we all know Eddie's been balling his eyes out with this one. Left Sky to join DAZN and destroy PPV..... DAZN starts doing PPV, his biggest asset AJ, gets schooled twice, his stable starts leaving in their droves and now after all the press conferences, interviews and hype, his next "superstar" gets busted for drugs!!

    What a stinker of a year this is turning out to be for Eddie.

    Hearn trying to get his lawyers to overturn the postponement of a fight because of a DRUGS BAN shows what type of horrible scumbag he is.

    This is a great reminder to never pay for a PPV until the evening of the fight.

    You could imagine Eubank might have said something like "stick your rehydration clause up your arse" in return for this fight going ahead...

    He won't if ukad don't sanction him. That's where the board is stuck as it seems unless ukad pop Benn his not violated any rules.

    Eubank could have stopped this fight. Clearly his not walking away from the payday and it's hard to argue against that when millions are on stake but it would have been nice for him to take a stand.

    The british board really need to make a statement with what they do with boxers who fail tests,not a slap on the wrist but a proper deterant I.e 2 year ban for a first offence,if they fail again banned for life
    But the boxers themselves (the bigger known ones) realistically know that if they fail a test there will always be a pay day out there for them
    For instance,even if canelo,fury,usyk ggg all failed drug tests they would never be banned from boxing for life because there 'name' is too big

    Genuinely disappointed at all this. Was looking forward to the fight. Football and then boxing, was really excited for Saturday. Cba with any postponements, probably end up getting rescheduled on a night that doesn’t suit me.

    Now we know why Benn would put his dad in the streets against a HW and why he is always crushing it in the gym.
    But lets be honest here Boxing is riddled with drug cheats and i believe probably 95% maybe even more fighters from small hall to elite are either on or have been on PEDS at some point the reward far outweighs the risk. Small hall fighters will hardly ever get tested and Elite guys know how to use the in competition 'warm weather training camps in the middle east' to their advantage.
    The sports scientists know exactly what compounds are banned and how to mask them and which metabolites need masking, Benn is a fool for getting caught he hasn't been fed the correct information this time.
    But the question we all should be asking is what is Tony Bellew going to say on this now his 'mate' has been caught we all remember he believes all drug cheats should be banned for life (unless of course you are a matchroom figher and Bellew's mate).
    What spin is Eddie going to put on it, i wonder if the B sample will conveniently be lost on Epstein's Island and after his Canelo will always be remembered as a drugs cheat remarks i wonder if Benn will now always be remembered as a drugs cheat.
    Eddie is now well and truly in the gutter and Frank will be rolling the shoulders with joy, I bet Mrs Warren will need a Tony Thompson Wheelchair tonight.
