    It's ridiculous that no interviewer calls him out on his claims.

    Benn looks to be in positive spirits. I think his comeback will be the most anticipated fight involving a Brit in years.

    Do you know the shortlist of 40 year olds he may be fighting next?

    Eddie Hearn takes a trip past the graveyard and digs up an opponent to Conor Benn :)

    His sources tell him it's either Duke Mckenzie or Kevin Mitchell

    Ivan Redkach is the frontrunner but Blair Cobbs is also an option if he doesn't fight until after September.

    Thought Ricky Burns would have been on his hitlist now he is 40 and retired.

    Huge name to get on the Benn CV

    I know this is light-hearted but Burns would make Benn look bad even at his age, no use for a comeback fight :)

    The absolute irony of Matchroom now trying to portray themselves as the lead anti-drugs campaigners in boxing, all whilst posting pictures of Conor Benn on their socials. Did that mind-blowing scientific evidence ever get released? Or the 270-page dossier? Or the proof that he’s now innocent as Benn was claiming a month ago?

    Benn has been completely unrepentant throughout this thing, going forward I think the only lesson he has learnt is to be more careful when it comes to testing. However UKAD is no obstacle when it comes to doping and VADA is no obstacle when it comes to doping cleverly. I hope he doesn't get a lucrative fight against Eubank etc, but if he does don't expect a bulked down "natural" Benn; nothing will change unfortunately.
