    Eubank probably still waiting for the BBBofC to sign off on the fight and good on him if that is the case.

    I suspect Kell Brook is the fallback opponent and perhaps he won't be concerned about the BBBofC situation and be happy to fight under any banner that provides him the payday? Then again, he may have principals too?

    Not that it's likely to happen, but I reckon Haney could step straight up to 147 and school Benn in an absolute shutout.

    Kell Brook fits the bill perfectly for a Hearns junior special to feed to his house fighter.

    Shot to pieces retired old name fighter
    Hasn’t fought for a couple of years
    He’ll be flown into the arena by Barry Hearns in a chopper full of loot and get knocked out cold
    It’s the AJ VLADD playbook basically

    “nobody has EVER done that to kell Brook koogs! Not golovkin not Spence not porter not khan, this boy might just beat them all ” Hearns junior will carefully explain afterwards

    Brook probably still has enough to beat him

    No chance would hearns junior let benn anywhere near brook if he wasn't a corpse.

    Brook couldn't even KO shot to pieces with big red circles on his back old retired khan.

    Brook got stopped by a jab off a lightweight.

    That little runt BENNE has enough about him to force a matchroom stoppage at the very least.

    Good summary. Probably line up Golovkin for his 50th birthday as Benn's retirement fight. The man Canelo couldn't KO etc etc

    Hearn now saying Eubank-Benn 'is 48 hours from being dead.'

    Which raises the question, can something die that was never alive in the first place?

    He also said that on Saturday. As if anyone cares - the YouTube channels should stop asking him and see if anyone notices.

    If Matchroom and Eddie Hearn are to be believed then the plan is to arrange Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn in March 2024. Does anyone seriously believe that Conor Benn has cleared his name and is ready to box in the U.K. in 3 months time ?

    I don't believe we will see Conor Benn boxing in the U.K. for the time being.

    Nope. But the clock will be ticking to cash out while Benn's name is still "relevant" as the young folk would say.

    I have a sneaking suspicion the fight gets made. They will find a way to accommodate Eubank

    If Matchroom hadn't invested so much money in Conor Benn they wouldn't care at all.

    Would not care a jot if this multiple drugs test failure was never seen in the ring again.

    Hope they ban him for life and set a precedent going forward for all drugs cheats.

    A fully hydrated 160lbs young CHRIS destroys any 147lber in the world let alone a domestic level feather fisted bum slayer like BENNE.

    that Hearns junior was able to BUY some of the youngsters brain water to handicap his central nervous system for that ill feted first bout says everything about the value Hearns junior places on human life.

    “Everybody has their price koogs and business is business, the kid was getting well paid what’s the problem?”

    the very same Hearns junior who practiced fake crying the night before going on camera to pretend to cry for clicks on YouTube over the death of Patrick Day.

    disgusting. “All the world is a stage koogs”
