    Can drag on as long as it wants for me. The longer it goes on the more the little runt’s career is getting wasted and the more stupid him and his team look for coming up with different excuses.

    Boxing news podcast said we will have the judgement on jurisdiction within the next two weeks.

    They will be lining him up for a return to the ring around November time, depending on how negotiations go.

    As you say backdated 12 month ban looks likely.

    Isn't it backdated to when you were first charged? Which was only a few months ago.

    However I bet some deals are being done under the table between Bent, BBBofC, UKAD.

    How this guy has any fans is beyond me.

    They've used classic legal delay tactics and loopholes, for as long as they can to try and wriggle out of a receiving a judgement.

    Pathetic from all involved.

    Hearn quoted as saying in an interview : 'The result is imminent. I believe him. It’s been one year since the test'.

    Hearn's mention of it being a year since the test reinforces my suspicion that Benn will receive a 12 month suspension, backdated a year.

    I can see him getting off on jurisdiction, but Eddie and Benn will pedal that their Science got him off.

    Can anyone on this entire forum, actually claim to be a Conor Benn fan? His promoters think they are going to sell out his next fight as Wembley, talk about lack of self awareness.

    There was a point when you take away his post fight interviews, I was very impressed with how Matchroom were moving him along and the improvement made

    But strangely out of the blue, the Eubank fight comes up and since then the total lack of self awareness from all involved is alarming

    I doubt it, I'm definitely no Benn fan. But we aren't representative of casual fans.

    For what it's worth, I was shocked by how good a reception he got in Leeds when he appeared on the Lara-Warrington 2 undercard. He'd clearly impressed a lot of people during the Vargas performance.

    Exactly the segment of society that has an IQ level low enough to find the likes of Koogs interviews 'top bants, innit bruv'
