    Hearn throwing him on a card without him clearing his name is desperation nothing more nothing less.

    He needs to deliver PPV for Dazn he can’t get AJ any fights on PPV
    He has no other PPV worthy fights other than Benn.

    That is why he has defended him so much, which is pathetic considering he hasn’t even won a British title.

    Do not compare Eubank JNR to Benn.

    Eubank won domestic titles then
    fought WBSS
    Saunders
    Boxed in America
    Liam Smith x2
    Liam Williams
    DeGale (granted was finished)

    Benn has fought smaller guys whilst being juiced to the gills.

    Why wouldn’t you watch? It’s a drug cheat vs the world number 207 in the function room of a hotel in Florida. It’s exactly the kind of monster I expected when Hearn said Benn would be back in a mega fight.

    Fair points, he did win the British title, the point I was making that he's not speaking about pushing on and boxing for a legitimate world title following the Smith win, instead he's shouting for the Benn fight, a smoke and mirrors fighter from two divisions below.

    I hear in Florida that Mickey Mouse is now wearing a Matchroom Watch.

    So we're back to food and not the contamination or rare genetic trait.

    The people are clearly not idiots because they understand what "cleared to fight" means - and more importantly, doesn't mean.

    Cleared to fight means he can still be found guilty later by a process that hasn't concluded. Hearn has made very specific points lately that Benn "has to be allowed to earn a living" and that's the bit I can't stand. Earning a living whilst accusations of cheating are still outstanding.

    He's referring to the WADA study about food, that (with the genetic trait) leaves certain athletes with a grey-area test.

    I think it's balls but it wouldn't surprise me if the "technicality" on which he won his last hearing was just this. UKAD doesn't have the resource to prove the WADA study wrong.

    This is a brilliant article if anyone has a spare 5 minutes. Sums up the situation perfectly and includes other shady Hearn dealings.

    A little snippet below that sums Hearn up:

    Conte says: “The Chávez Jr case was the first indication Eddie may be willing to do whatever it takes to make a fight happen even if a boxer is not following agreed anti-doping rules. Chávez had enrolled in Vada and agreed to be randomly tested at all times. When the doping control officers went to the gym, Chávez refused to give blood and urine samples. This was a violation of the Vada agreement. Eddie said: ‘I want you to help me find another anti-doping group aside from Vada. We want to take the fight to Arizona and they’re saying they will do it if we have a credible anti-doping programme.’

    Nope it was jurisdictional that got him off.

    Benn still hasn't sent his latest defence to UKAD that it was contamination through food.
