    The lack of self awareness and inability to read the room from both Benn and Hearn has been something else. Just looking at social media and this is the first time I have ever seen anything regarding a matchroom fighter where every single comment is negative, and often aggressively so.

    I find it amusing that they already think they've waited long enough for all this to have blown over lol

    The sanctions should be automatic from the day of the failed test - immediate life ban.

    The trainer should also be banned for a significant period and the promoter should be immediately banned from live TV broadcasts and forced onto unpopular streams such as DAZN UK.

    It's just to play to the narrative they will spin that they are the victims

    UKAD I guess.

    A friend of mine was on GB squad for basketball in late teens, refused a test as he’d had a joint, confessed and said he’d smoked weed. He was banned from all sports, not even allowed to train or do any sport casually.

    This was never going to be an easy ride for Matchroom, but the way they've handled it has made it far worse. They've squandered an immense amount of their credibility on one less than exceptional fighter.

    Mismatchroom would be my suggestion...

    I saw that comment today from Hearn about Benn wanting Eubank Jnr, Gervonta Davis (who fights at 135), Kell Brook (who retired nearly a year ago) and Manny (hasn't fought in nearly a year and a half and is now 44). An insult to boxing on so many levels.
