    Hope he doesn’t obtain the injunction. This whole thing stinks

    He will be on the phone to the Luxembourg Boxing Federation as we speak.

    BBBoC will struggle to defend themselves even if they're in the right. Matchroom has deep pockets and DAZN has a lot to lose here.

    Nobody's going to win from this in the long run though.

    Which means the lawyers believe they have a strong case and likely to go ahead.

    It doesn't sit right at all.

    That's so far off the mark and very ignorant comment. It's far easier for a boxer not to take drugs then to take them. Go in some gyms and speak to their owners they will tell you in no uncertain terms how they feel about drug use of any kind.

    Eddie is not stupid, he knows exactly what has occurred here and it explain's Conor's rapid improvement, which became very apparent after the year long lay-off between 2019 and the Formella fight in October 2020.

    It's pretty clear now he had a year of training loaded up on PED's and due to COVID there was little or no random testing.

    Hearn needs to just call this off, he is literally selling his soul by the minute here, the fighters obviously want it to go-ahead, not just because of the pay-day but because they're in fight mode.

    Maybe Big Barry should step-up here and put Eddie and in a box for 24 hrs, this has to be damaging to the Matchroom brand if it goes ahead.

    I also cannot imagine Sky or any other media company not attached to Matchroom putting a positive spin on this, because as others have said here it's pretty blatant what has happened.

    Well, that explains the rapid improvement in Benn since getting 'beaten' by Peynaud. He's an absolute disgrace who should be banned for a couple of years for the one sided beatings he's been dishing out thanks to the PED's & all the mouth we've had to listen to.

    Boxing looks a farce again. Well done Hearn and Benn.

    All of a sudden Benn’s rapid improvement starts to make more sense.

    They might rethink having Benn all over their intros and stuff now...

    If they have known about it behind the scenes for weeks maybe that's why Chris Eubank Snr has been so against the fight recently?

    Weird that a TRT doctor has taken his website down, and made Instagram private today (if reports are true):
