Benn fails drug test

I don't think they can. I put in the thread many pages back the handing licence in was 100% cynical.

He will claim he won't boxer under a UK Lisence because they bullied him blah blah.

The only possible thing but it would end up in a lawyer battle the board don't have the finance to win would be to try and ban the show for bringing boxing into disrepute. They simply wouldn't have the money to best Benn and Eddie in the courts.

Benn will already be recording a mental health series or book as we speak to coincide with his comeback to explain the trauma the board put him through.

 

The board could/should take away Hearn's promoters licence if he tries this. Not that they will.

 

Again Matchroom vs BBBoC in the courtroom only ends one way, Hearn is a cancerous sumbag for me

 

Whenever, whatever hearing takes place, the outcome will be that Benn will get a backdated ban the same length of time from the date of failed test to the hearing.

The precedent was set with Sir Tyson of Fury.

There are little ethics, shame or appropriate sanctions in boxing now for drugs cheats.

 

I don't think he will ever have a hearing in this country. WBC get a lovely bag of cash, Benn gets a technicality 6-12 month backdated ban, Benn cries about mental health, then fights in the UK under a Turkmenistan licence and fights explicitly with 9-12 month breaks to ensure he does pop dirty again.

Someone dies in a fight somewhere in the world and Eddie will back on IFL crying like a baby about drugs cheats with 0 irony.

 

'Ya see Koogs I've always felt a deep affinity with the Macedonian people. They've been through strife and heartache just as I have. Of course the decades long struggles to carve out a nation in the face of fierce opposition from regional powers isn't anywhere near as significant as the hours of stress I felt when the BBBoC were late responding to the 20th letter from my team of lawyers, but maybe in a small way the Macedonians can begin to appreciate the pain I went through and that's why I've chosen to fight for them under the very demanding rules and regulations of the Macedonian Boxing Association'.

*Phone rings

Hold on Koogs, it's Eddie on the blower...

'Ah, Ok. How much? I thought the brown envelope... Ah. Yeah understood'

'So Koogs as I was saying, I've always felt a deep affinity with the Luxemburger people ever since I ate a Big Mac and thought it looked great. They've been through strife and heartache just as I have. Of course invasion and occupation by the wehrmacht isn't anywhere.....'

 

Sadly this all isn't as mentally out there as it should be

 

The whole thing is perilously close to being beyond parody. Which will force me to talk about the boxing instead and no-one wants that.

 

You'd be ****ed if you wanted discuss Matchrooms 2023 schedule

 

They are probably waiting for Joshua's opponent and date. Maybe there's a delay because he's deciding his training team.
At least we know the provisional dates and cards for Matchroom, and there is a Golden Boy show in January and Ortiz Jr Stanionis now in April potentially.

Do you know any shows BT have planned apart from Yarde Beterbiev ? Wasserman haven't announced anything either. Only Sky / Boxxer have, and their two best cards are PPV.

 

DAZN is the only service you pay specifically for boxing. It's a huge difference.

 

We know there is only one card in January which is in the US so obviously you wouldn't be subscribed for January. The announcement for February and future cards should happen soon. You're acting like we don't know what cards and dates have been planned.

 

Those dates are very possible to change though.

 

In all seriousness, how long ago was it since Benn put out that less than cryptic statement about the truth will set him free?

Not a word since, so presuming they and the 270odd page document have ran into a couple of (small?) hurdles?

 

If you could genuinely prove your innocence you would be singing it from the rooftops not hiding behind lawyers.

If you were arrested for a murder and could prove you were in a different country when it was committed you wouldn't have to hide behind a team of lawyers to tell your side of the story
