    That nails it, it is so obvious, the problem is without the peds he is rubbish and with the peds only faces 40 year olds

    Quite right - why would he schedule a fight just for it to be put in doubt if Benn loses the appeal? Or drags it out to a further appeal?

    Please. You know as well as I do why they didn't say anything and it's down to confidentiality.

    Not to the extent where its critical simply because it does not matter how much matchroom support benn as they do not determine whether he gets banned or not.

    Hearn claiming his innocent or guilty has no bearing on the actual outcome of the case.

    No Whataboutism. I'm just showing that there was a reason why the bboc were silent. Matchroom didn't invent the confidentiality rules.

    I prefer to the let more knowledgeable people of the subject determine whether someone is guilty or not. Not armchair analysts.

    When Benn fights Eubank, no matter how much of a beat down it is or isn't, who's willing to bet we get Eddie afterwards 'we need to run this back, the rematch is what people want to see'

    I see he's on Instagram today posting a photo of his test sample and promoting a 'clean sport'. Absolutely no shame or self awareness. He'll be back but I hope the next serious fight he takes he gets a beating that's savage enough it instantly retires him.

    I don't know the process but in many cases, you can give notice to appeal within a certain time frame, but then you have another time frame to actually lodge it. The grounds for the appeal take time to figure out and you have to give a credible reason to do it. This could drag on for quite a while.

    Meantime Benn can still fight...

    Possibly. I suspect the BBBoC wouldn't stop him if it got tested in court though.
