    He has smelt a rat the entire time with this fight. Really think if not him, someone connected to CEJ

    He's failed a test therefore shouldn't be allowed to fight. If I fail a driving test I'm not allowed to drive. Doesn't matter if one has passed and one has failed, they don't just show up with drugs for a laugh.

    Algeri is right you know. Just look back at David Price's career and some of the issues with drug cheats he faced. Massively impacted his career and confidence.

    So I have a few questions

    - If not Vada which body does Hearn adhere to?
    - Why wasn’t the b-sample tested straightaway
    - If both parties are made aware of this at the same time, why haven’t Eubanks team demanded the B-sample be tested


    Going forward I can see Conor Benn losing sponsorships and matchroom losing ability to negotiate with fight endorsements with certain brands until there is clear evidence that they are acting with the integrity of the sport.

    This event is doomed to be a failure now I just hope that all fighters weigh in and then it’s cancelled so they all get paid apart from Conor Benn.

    The B Sample wasn't tested because they know the answer.

    Delay delay delay.

    Let the fight happen, cash the money. Then test the B, say its only trace, passed all UKAD tests then hope everyone forgets.

    Haha imagine it if was Eubank Snr ringing the Daily Mail with a scoop.

    That would be brilliant.

    This controversy will actually lead to more PPV buys if the event goes ahead. Sadly, people will be more intrigued to watch now, me included.

    Has it came out whether UKAD actually test for Clomid yet? Or does VADA only test for the specific PED?

    And Frampton lost to Warrington, who like Benn, is one of the more blatant ones due to the sudden and very noticeable improvements in his physique and performance.

    If Benn wins do you think the O2 crowd will give him a standing Ovulation?

    Hearn signed AJ to an exclusive DAZN contract and failed to secure the Usyk rematch in that contract. Which then meant DAZN had to bid
