    A bit late but finally, Benn seems to be, from the snippets I've read, taking the 1st baby steps on the road to accepting responsibility.

    It's a start.

    Hearn is one I am waiting for a back tracking apology from to the masses.

    To have left it this late to take any kind of responsibility just shows that a conniving little runt he is, he has nowhere else to go now, he never envisaged this, he thought that if he banged that drum long enough and have all that talk and threat of going heavyweight on this everyone would back down. This is a win for boxing, I hope his career is completely derailed by this and when he returns he has to fast track himself, actually take a risky fight and get ironed out, that would be the cherry on the cake. After 6 months of saying he's innocent, tripping himself up and making a fool of himself he's finally half admitting that something may have got in his system. If he'd just have admitted it from the start it would be yesterdays news by now, we'd have moved on, he wouldn't look anywhere near as bad as he does and it would probably be almost forgotten in a lot of the boxing world. This now defines him, it sticks with him forever, he's never shaking this off and it's going to mentally break him, he isn't cut out for the mess he's created, this is a guy who has done multiple things to appear or feel more masculine. It's been quite funny though, especially on here, 279 pages!

    On the one hand Benn comes across like a massive Toby...
    On the other hand the Simon Jordans of this world getting high and mighty about PED use in barely-regulated prizefighting, despite having watched hundreds of boxers fight with Phil Heath bodies, are outing themselves as massive DKSABers (and DYELs too)...
    It's a lose-lose sadly!

    Denial & Anger done with, now he's moving on to Bargaining. He's already played the Mental Elf card over the past 6 months, so the next & final step is Acceptance.

    Good to see Conor Benn back. Open, honest and authentic in this interview regarding the pain he has endured and injustices he has faced over the past 9 months. With all the fans and odds stacked against him, it's almost like Conor Benn against the world, as he looks set to resume his career at the age of 26.

    Boxing News punched through the target last week, but missed their mark this week. They published a softball interview with Connor Benn and printed his rambling ChatGPT level in full.

    He's just not a good as actor as Tyson Fury and also lacks a personality.

    Not many people kill a Philipino politician, so I am guessing that is kind of a legacy.

    Him and hearnz cocked things up big time.

    No sympathy. Both need to get disciplined.
