    Of all the lies Hearn has told about this whole situation, something like this should be more than enough for the board to take his license away. It's not like this is even the first time this has happened either. Give him and Benn both a 4 year ban, it would be fully deserved. But we all know that is very unlikely to happen.

    CEJ said, if he had known about the original fail he'd have never signed, tell him about a fail 10 days beforehand he has basically comitted to fighting

    It sounds like an excellent idea, but unfortunately it probably won't happen.

    Have we heard the last lie from Eddie Hearn in this context ?

    It's so disgusting and it shows how uncaring boxing promoters are.

    I know he has had two failed VADA tests but now I know he went Butlins Skegness with Tone and the family I have to side on him being innocent.

    Could understand Hearn being like this if it was AJ, Canelo or Katie Taylor but is that little runt Benn really worth it?

    Hearn can only spin and fleece people so long.

    Th Meltdown in Saudi together with Fury humiliating Whyte has made people wake up at last.

    ROFL. Old Tony's a card. Prison time for PED users as long as they aren't Matchroom PED takers. The Matchroom one's getting wished home safely to the wife and kids

    The "team of scientists" working around the clock and the army of lawyers have had months to clear Conor's name, yet he's still in hiding. No interview or anything. Hearn distancing himself more and more it's becoming "his lawyers" and "he needs to clear his name and less "us" and "we" in Hearn's interviews.

    I would expect by now, Conor would have at least been on Loose Women and had an interview at home with a pre-written set of questions, followed by a photo shoot of him looking distantly out to the horizon or making an egg smoothie.

    Personally, I think he's just refreshing the British Forum on here waiting for this thread to fall off onto page two before he brings his head out of the sand.
