    An absolute joke but not surprising sadly. Boxing really is beyond pathetic at times and makes you wonder why you bother.

    Yes it was obvious he would be cleared to fight with immediate affect, we will see him back out again in November.

    Benn clearly thinks he'll walk any appeal too. Kind of assume UKAD can't afford to fight it for long.

    The sooner he's out of boxing the better - if that means a cashout fight or a step up where he finds his true level in a brutal fashion, doesn't really matter.

    I have never wanted to see a fighter get smashed in the ring as much as Conman Benn.
    I hope that every fight fan feels the same.
    This whole episode has left me wondering if there is any point in drug testing in boxing, lets just have a free for all.

    If people tune in to see him get smashed up, it will have the same result as if they tuned in to see him win. People have to ignore him.

    This is my overwhelming feeling. I'm done being angered by this ***** or those around him. They're beyond contempt and this latest attempt to 'get ahead of the story' and spin this into a vindication is just the icing on the cake.

    I'm sorry for the young boxers who are looking for the next generation of British stars to look up to and see Benn being lionised by so many people who should know better. Some people really will do anything for a pound note.

    It's probably unworkable but I'd love to see a vote take place to send Benn to Coventry on this platform. Stick him into the word filter, delete any threads on his fights or the bollocks he spouts on social media. I really don't want to read anything about him.

    100% this. The fewer people that watch him the better. Thankfully he currently fights on DAZN so that will take care of itself. Let's just hope he doesn't switch to sky, then he really could get some publicity

    Maybe he should move to Sky, then I can cancel my sub and get to the gym instead of watching tv.
