    Yeah but I think they still need to approve boxers on a different license.

    As long as he’s consistent and doesn’t let Fury fight with one I have no issue with that.

    in a way it's worrying if BBBOC can do this, they're a private limited company, not an independent agency per se. And Smith's been in power for over 20 years.

    I do think there should be an overarching body, I'm just not convinced the BBBOC are worthy with so many corrupt and/or inept judging decisions and judges, and decent people liek Jeff Hinds having to take legal action (ongoing) to get a fair chance.

    It

    But fury has served his ban. Benn is dodging explaining why it is in his system. Its not the same situation at all.

    He never really served a ban did he. He bullied the BBBOC with having money to bankrupt them, and got them to backdate it for a clear anabolic test fail. And has since cried about his "mental health" as an excuse for everything he does wrong from his coke abuse, infidelity, being fatter than a pig, his homophobia and so on.

    It's different in that he accepted guilt and a backdated ban to move on; do you think Benn, as vocal and public as he's been about this issue, would say "fine, 6 month ban back to last August" and be available for BBBoC sanctioned fights again? I doubt it.

    At least Fury kept quiet about it - agree with everything else you've said about him though.

    very valid point, and you're right, Benn's arrogance and stupidity throughout this has shone through hasn't it.

    Fury is a scumbag and I can't stand him, but the records showed he served a 2 year ban (even if it was backdated).

    Benn is trying to dodge UKAD and BBBoC entirely. He will not fight until he has cleared a UKAD investigation. He has ****ed his career.

    Only reason Hearn is suffering him is that he wants make back some of that 1mln he lost on the Eubank fight. He wants to bill the Arabs for a benn purse

    Good news. Hope they take another year to make a decision. A 270 page document will take a long time to get through, probably should have saved the money he spent on the lawyers, put it in Escrow and given it to the WBC
