    Benn/Hearn conspiracy theory :

    Brian Norman Junior's father thinks Eddie Hearn’s reasons for not putting together the unification fight that 'Boots' Ennis wanted against his son, Norman Jr., and then losing the IBF purse bid for his mandatory challenger Karen Chukhadzhian, are part of a plot to get Ennis to vacate his IBF title and move up to 154.

    This would free up the belt, move Ennis out of the way and allow Hearn's suspended drug cheat Conor Benn the chance to claim that belt and then take advantage of his position as champion to set up lucrative fights in the US.

    Benn to face BBBofC in October

    Conor Benn faces a BBBofC hearing next month. Benn is currently provisionally suspended.

    “They say I haven’t done this, I haven’t done that, but the reality is I’ve gone through every avenue possible to do that” - Connor Benn at his slapstick best.

    Hope the BBBofC treat him with the contempt he deserves and ban him long into the future.

    Noticed the dreadlocks are back now he's serving a silent ban and won't be getting tested.

    Absolutely nothing to do with traces of steroids being found in hair follicles as to why he shaved his hair before, I'm sure.

    In his latest interviews he is back to his absloute insufferable worst.

    The hearing might be in October, but the judgement will take a little longer.

    I assume it is a national doping hearing with ukad as prosecution.

    To be fair to him he's not very bright and his team had been down so man avenues to get out of this Benn probably doesn't understand. Unfortunately for him there was only 1 avenue to go down and he avoided that particular one.

    He must be the dumbest guy in boxing.

    Dillian Whyte will be back in the ring after his 100th ban before Benn.

    If he loses that and gets issued with a lengthy ban it may well rank as single greatest bit of Karma mankind has ever seen.

    Benn smudged up with Turkey

    Benn has also been very vocal recently about a comeback.

    They must have a feeling he is going to get a time served ban.

    Hearn has pretty much confirmed Benn will be clear to fight early 2025 and fighting Eubank in the new year. Personally, I'm going to miss this one, don't really feel like lining his pockets.

    That's him putting pressure on the board ahead of the hearing and judication. He does this all the time. He might not have fought in the UK for 2yrs since the +ve tests, but he has had fights and possibly trained/sparred with BBBoC licensed trainers/boxers in that time, both of which are prohibited under a proper ban. Never mind a real ban is 4 yrs .. only a "PROVEABLE accidental ingestion" (yeah, I know) is 2 yrs ... so even 2 years might not be from the date of the last +ve test. Hmmmm, we'll see .... :)

    Benn and Hearn have done everything they possibly could to try and bully the board and ignore what they should have been doing after testing positive - twice - and let's not forget he tested positive twice.

    Hopefully it all blows up in their faces at the upcoming hearing.

    I notice Warren softening his chat about Benn and said he was out with Nigel, Conor and Hearn the other night. Frank is still saying Conor has things to sort with the board but like any other promoter, he’d take the pound note putting on a fight for him later.
