    So if no one had of leaked this to the Daily Mail then the fight would still be on. We'd all be oblivious.

    It would be far far from the first time in the history of boxing.

    Not only that, if they hadn't agreed to VADA testing no one would ever know as all UKAD tests were clear.

    If you recall that legendary thread on here when Whyte tested positive there was a good debate on there about UKAD and the fact that they have **** all money. Remember they had to bottle out of the legal case against Tyson and Hughie because they didn’t have the funds for a lengthy legal battle.

    The fact that VADA caught Benn but the UKAD tests were clear… You get corruption in sport and business at all levels. Who is to argue against the thought that perhaps Matchroom slipped someone at UKAD a few brown envelopes for a “clean” Benn test as the justification for continuing with the fight?

    UKAD is a Mickey Mouse organisation with no financial might. Organisations like this can be bought easy.

    I'm going to bet Matchroom's lawyers are better than the BBBofC's.

    Hearn must have received assurances, but this is a horrible horrible look for him

    TalkTV (and I suspect in due course The Sun) are saying the fight is off.

    How much will Matchroom lose this week if it's off?

    It said there would be an undercard conference in about 45 minutes. I wonder if they’ll dig up someone for Eubank?
