    This kind of fight puts me off the sport. I don't want to see it and it shouldn't be happening.

    A real shame if this fight happens. The Khan win was the perfect way for Brook to bow out imo and Benn doesn't deserve the hype a win against a drained & shot Brook would give him.

    Hearn is always the same.

    “We want the biggest fights for Conor. Spence, Crawford, Brook or Boots Ennis. Only the biggest”

    It’s then the dud he dropped in with the actual fighters

    Agree but come on Parsons is not a journalist. He's a mong with a camera.

    I agree. Thinking he had journalistic integrity was silly and naive of me.

    They're all absolute mongs with cameras.

    Every single one of the idiots never push back on anything the promotors or fighters say to them and instead say "Ok and moving on.."

    Like what the actual fck. He just fed you some actual garbage and your response was "Ok well moving on.

    All those mongs do it.

    I don't know. Maybe I'm expecting too much from these idiots. I should lower my expectations.

    Re "BBBoC don't recognise VADA" :

    1) Anyone know if this originates solely from EH, ( re the BJS nasal spray, but actually OK by UKAD for OOC tests) ?
    Or has anyone else "confirmed it", as opposed to just restating EH's utterance ?

    2) Didn't listen/watch the Jordan/Hearn thing, but did that statement come up ?
    with apologies, but I don't think I could bear listening to it.

    3) I didn't follow the Whyte case, I'm just a casual, but I found the thing below
    In this case it seems VADA tests were put forward as a defence, and wait for it ..... .....
    "BBBoC/UKAD .... DO .... recognise VADA"

    Apologies if this is old ground for you lot, but it's made me chuckle, and I wish boxing "journalists" would bring this up with EH when he utters his crap ( assuming my assumptions are correct of course )

    I'm no expert but I believe with point 1) that the nasal spray is allowed a for a certain time frame prior to a fight under UKAD, but not under VADA.

    Point 3) is exactly as you put it, Whyte passing VADA testing was the defence argument that cleared Dilliin after the Ryvas fight.

    Cheers. Yes that was my understanding of point 1), I didn't word it too well though !
    I've just heard part of the Jordan/Hearn thing on Fight Disciples. Jordan did mention "they do recognise VADA" but it all got shouted over a bit before being pressed to Hearn Fight Disciples picked it up though and highlighted the use of VADA tests for the Whyte defence.

    I can't bear the fact this drug cheat cretin is likely to fight again soon, but I really do hope Eubank Jr smashes him into the middle of the next week, if rumours of the Abu Dhabi fight are true.

    If Benn wants to fight at 160 and he wants to fight old guys why doesn't he go after a fight with Golovkin? I'd love to see GGG have one last vicious fight in him and shatter the spoilt brats face.

    But would that matter? I think Hearn has been saying all along that he would never work with a foreign governing body for a fight IN BRITAIN. But I don’t think he has ruled out putting a fight on ABROAD with a governing body.

    But since Benn no long has a British license, that would mean that he would have to apply for a Abu Dhabi boxing license first?
