    ‘There should just retire Parsons, they are done!’, yeah I bet he wishes Warren and Arum would. He will be out before they will prob.

    The biggest all-British fight in the sport apart from Fury vs Joshua. It will most definitely be their next fights, whether that be on December 23 or in 2024. This is even bigger than their first fight which sold out the O2 instantly. They will sell out a stadium and do a lot of buys on DAZN PPV.

    Hence why nobody with a braincell took Eubank seriously when he said he wouldn't be fighting Benn.

    Money talks and the reality is Eubank would be insane to walk away from the biggest payday of his career in a fight he should win at 160lbs

    A Kenyan marathon runner has just been handed down a 10-year ban after twice testing positive for banned substances.

    Athletics still takes penalizing drug cheats seriously. Boxing just never has.

    The way it should be. Fair play to them, a serious sport with credibility and the backbone to act in order to protect a level playing field for all competitors.

    Meanwhile in boxing "eggs innit koogs, case closed"

    Said it a dozen times on here. Professional boxing is promoted entertainment, not organised sport. It makes things up as it goes along.

    WWE probably has a better drug testing programme.

    30 years ago professional boxing was 95 procent business and 5 procent sport.

    Today it is 99 procent business and 1 procent sport.

    Haven't heard anything. One would hope Whyte learned something from the disgraceful charade Benn and Hearn have carried on with and chosen a different course of action.

    I doubt he's bothered. He's milked boxing for all it's worth given his limited ability. Doubt we'll see him fight again.

    I think you're right, he was done and only hanging in there for a final payday fight against Joshua. That won't happen now, hardly seems worth him spending the money on counsel etc trying to challenge any ban.

    Is there any word on the appeals process for BBoC and UKAD vs Benn? I'm not aware of seeing anything posted about it?

    I doubt, unless the BBBoC leak it, if we'll hear much again this year. Hearn had mentioned in passing it's likely to be January therefore Benn is "clear to fight" anytime prior to that.
