    Was that a real fight?! Assumed it was a white collar charity event judging by the half empty breakfast hall venue it was held in

    Great news the rat should be hounded out of all boxing. Scumbag. A cheating scumbag.

    I presume the ban will be backdated? But given the way he’s carried off etc it should be 4 years

    I cannot help but think this has happened before and they've got away with it with other fighters

    The difference being this one got leaked.

    Had there been no leak we still wouldn't know about this, the leak has allowed the board to stand their ground.

    Both Conor Benn and Eddie Hearn have both behaved incredibly stupidly in this matter.

    He threw the kitchen sink at a bang average opponent without making a dent and looked a punch or two away from serious trouble himself.

    Without eggs he is no omelette.

    In this Conor Benn matter, Eddie Hearn has not behaved wisely. He has bothered many of the influential people. So much, in fact, that they will do anything to prevent Conor Benn from boxing in the U.K. again.

    How long until Hearn goes full rat mode and is crying on IFL about how much he trusted Benn and he's been betrayed and hearn himself is the real victim out of all of this? The investment he's put into his career and conor as a person and its all thrown back in his face?

    2 months?

    This whole saga is more entertaining than his fights.
