Not surprised at all. UK numbers going up like **** and Benn looks like a guy who likes to hang around with his mates and go out even in fight camp. 4 Weeks ago he posted some pics of him hanging around with other people in some local restaurant and etc...i doubt he got the vaccine so yeah...not surprised.
Guessed it was Covid before I clicked into the thread. No fight right now or any sporting event is safe, could be cancelled at the last minute.
Who cares anyway? Billam Smith McCarthy deserved to headline. Only BS is Leigh Wood Can Xu were opening the show, but now they are headlining. Maybe the fight will be rearranged for a new show in September. Game changed...
Whats with all these fighters getting covid days before a fight talk about some shitty timing this really pisses me off.
Probably because they only really start testing them stringently coming into fight week, kinda like how drug testing is done in the sport lol.
They realized that Granados was going to expose him. 8/1 favorite against a guy who beat up Easter and hung tough and then some with Porter and Broner? They bit off more than they could chew and knew it.
He has the flu! What can we do!? He has the flu Will the fight fall through!? He has the flu Connor withdrew! He has the flu Oh boo hoo!
It's going down for five days or so. Before that it was different. He probably got Covid 10-12 days ago and tested positive in the last couple of days. After several positive tests he announced it today. But yeah...his behaviour was probably the reason why he got it. 4 weeks out and wearing no masks, no social distancing etc. going out with friends...you can do that if you're an average Joe but as a pro boxer who has a fight scheduled in 4 weeks? Pretty much stupid af.
