Hillarious. They're not even trying to come across as mildly legitimate anymore. A suspended fighter who hasn't even fought for an area title? Yeah, definitely in the top two welterweights for me!
High time these self styled “ruling bodies” were dumped. They’re all the same, digging up complete unknowns as leading contenders for their plastic trophies. IBF are at it with an unknown Cuban, with the unlikely name of William Scull as the mandatory in the super middles!
It's all gone quiet recently, perhaps he has finally run out of things to blame. I would like to think the pity party is finally over and he takes it on the chin, but no doubt they will find yet another 'victim' card to play.
They "cleared" him, remember Wouldn't surprise me in the least if they find a way to sanction him into an alphabet junior title under some other governing body.
I get everything is now under NDA's hence the radio silence, but when Benn comes bouncing back on the scene after serving whatever ban the board gave him, he better not use language like 'cleared to fight' and language that suggests he beat the case and proved his innocence.
Unfortunately, I think you are right. I wonder if Eddie Hearn talks to the Saudis and gets Conor Benn involved in a big fight so he can get his investment in Conor Benn back.
Full of it and never once taken accountability or apologised for the Benn fiasco, but thinks they should throw away the key with Ryan Garcia (who is also a twat).
Yup. Never did get how all the Matchroom casuals couldn't see through all of his hypocritical nonsense.
2 weeks before the Benn news came out, he refused to let Buatsi fight Pascal as VADA testing wasn’t in the contract. When Benn failed a VADA test a fortnight later, he started claiming they weren’t that accurate anyway and it must have been contamination. Blokes a scumbag and compulsive liar.
I really really hope that in the next 18- 24 months, Fitzy fights him at 154 and totally destroys Benn for good.
