    It's like Scrappy Doo isn't it

    There's a reason that character wasn't used after that show

    That's a bit unfair. He's had several wins over Man at Arms and I don't believe he's ever lost a round to Orko.

    and in the background he's in negotiations with Davros but he's draining him from fancy wheelchair down to sitting on a skateboard.

    I see the chat seems to be that UKAD won’t be appealing and so the BBBoC would have no real reason not to licence Benn.

    And so begins the hype train. Looks like Eubank isn’t going to give him the payday though so Matchroom are slagging him off now.

    UKAD cannot reveal the reason for Benn being cleared unless he says they can.

    So given Benn hasn't given any details, it's clearly a technicality

    Is he a "star" though?

    Or just a shouty bellend that's notorious for failing a drug test, who's dad was a good fighter 30 years ago, and then making like an agent from The Matrix when dodging all the questions about it?

    1. He isn't very good (come on let's be honest here)

    2. He hasn't even won an area level belt.

    3. He's unlikeable and entitled

    Conor Benn could start by winning the British title but that is unlikely to happen.

    Matchroom must get their investment back, so their task is to find an opponent who generates the most money.

    BENNE has followed the matchroom house fighter blueprint of feasting on shot to pieces old name fighters whilst calling out and failing to get in the ring with all the names of the division.

    Hearns built AJ into a marketing juggernaut without ever facing a live body using this exact blueprint so it’s no surprise he’d try the same with that little runt BENNE

    And so it starts.
    Let's see if they show why he was 'let off'. I can pretty much guarantee they won't.

    I am in the minority but i love him. The brit scene is just what he needs. Star quality and big power is always a recipe for a superstar. 2025 will be a big one for Con.

    It's unbelievable that we have to listen to Eddie Hearn telling us that Conor Benn is a destructive puncher ! WTF ???

    The version of Conor Benn who hasn't eaten eggs is worth nothing and has nothing to do in a world title fight. He will be humiliated.
