    Wonder if Tony Bellew agrees with you.

    Great post, I too disagree with this idea that literally everyone is doing it.

    How eddie hearn can be on ifl saying maybe it'll be sanctioned by another board is beyond me,doesn't care about the failed drugs test,just get the fight on whatever the cost and to hell with the consequences,what type of precedent does that set? Drug testing is in place but if either fighter fails go to another board and they will sanction it? Absolute joke

    Hearn is correct. Shame he’s talking about someone else and has now changed his mind today.

    There isn't a precedent with BJS because I believe whatever BJ's was banned for was not prohibited by the bbbofc in quite the same way it was with the us body. I think they are ****ed

    Love that from Frampton, straight shooting and no company bullsh*t.

    Anyone connected with Matchroom/Dazn will be rolling out the 'until we know the full facts' line and it's pretty sickening.

    The likes of Barker and Bellew have been in the ring, they're literally turning their heads to this issue because of their paycheck, which in fairness is their choice but I don't want to hear from them how dangerous boxing is anymore. They've set their stall out, they're willing to let a drug cheat in the ring without condemnation because their paymaster has said it's okay.

    Disgrace. Take as much drugs as you want and just get Luxembourg to sanction it.

    Pretty sure i said benn was suspect ages ago. You dont go from struggling to keep an unamed french kid off you...to knocking out ex world champions through a bit of hard work or they,d all have that kind of progression.

    As much as the ex world champions we,re over the hill...they still should have had enough about them not to get knocked out by benn who in the grand scheme of things doesnt have the background or experience to be doing that without help.

    The BBBC have known about this for weeks and only now issue concerns because the news went public. Not a chance in hell they can stop the fight happening.

    Just saw Rahim’s interview with Kalle. If the fight goes ahead this couldn’t have gone better for Eubank. He’s admitted that they now hold all the cards so expect a change to Eubank’s weight and/or hydration restrictions.
