    This scumbag has no shame sneaking off to Florida for a comeback fight when he hasn't been cleared in his own country. His arrogance and playing the victim through the whole saga has been pathetic. He is fighting a guy named Rodolfo Orozco 32-3 with 24KO's he is ranked 209 at 154

    Conman Benn is hitting the canvas as soon as he steps in with a named opponent that isn't totally over the hill. All of the steroids in the world aren't going to protect him from that fate.

    Benn now saying that he would fight GGG. Please make it happen even 40 year old G gives this ass clown the beating of his life.

    Well he has been out of the ring for 1,5 years so I'm okay with him returning, even though he's clearly guilty on the egg case.
    This is pro boxing, well-known names never get bans that long.

    he should move to florida and rebrand. Start fighting out of miami and NYC. There's actually a ton of english people living in south florida, business types with second homes.

    Hearn just as complicit as Benn in this disgraceful sham.

    If either had an once of dignity they would have waited until the 'little' matter of Benn having tested positive twice was finalised, before sneaking off under the radar to Florida.

    Chris Algieri, who lost to a, for all we know roided Conor Benn, has mysteriously been removed from the DAZN commentary team for this Florida farce.

    Algieri could have provived some insightful comments having fought Benn previously. But not doubt Hearn is concerned Algeiri or anyone else for that matter, might have mentioned that word starting with d in relation to Benn.

    So what was the point in the hearing then?

    Why should he wait when his suspension was lifted?

    Also wait until when?

    If the suspension wasn't lifted he wouldn't be fighting. Ukad lifted that suspension as legally it was the correct thing to do.

    The idea that the NADP ruling means nothing is not only stupid but also would kill the most important function which is there independence.

    What you and others are proposing is Benn should face the charges from UKAD and the Bboc and then guilt or innocence should be decided by Ukad and the bboc.

    Is that what you call due process?

    Not defending Benn here but the BBBoC are dragging their feet and playing the moral arbiter here when they have plenty of shady practices in the past.

    UKAD are just as stupid and look negligent also
