    One of the best fights of our generation between two P4P greats and all I’ve seen all week is Hearn and Benn. Despise the pair.

    Absolutely embarressing stuff from C Benn over the last few days, as usual.
    Hope Eubank strings him along until the end of time

    Not just instructed but gave them a script to follow with military precision.

    No doubt both had a rehearsal behind the scenes with Hearn watching while playing with his fiddle.

    Turki Alalshikh has indicated he is looking at putting on a show in May and he wants to include Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn.

    Can only guess that Benn's suspension will have been fully served by then.

    Everyone is hinting he is getting a 2 year ban, but the NADP is independent so I don't know how people can get ahead of the outcome.

    Maybe ukad have given an indication that they will only push for a 2 year ban.

    Benn's penalty could have been handed down and partially served already for all we know. The transparency in this case has been about as clear as mud.

    If this case has demonstrated anything it is that it has exposed the flawed system that is currently in place. Absolute shambles.

    Hearn is literally using a failed drugs test to sell the show. ‘It was big before but now it’s huge with everything that’s happened’. Maybe they should do that with every fight to make it bigger, have one of the fighters fail a drugs test before.

    Don't let him know that as he'd do it so long as it was his fighter who failed the test, we saw when Miller and Whyte respectively failed drug tests in build up to fighting Joshua, both fights got cancelled, his fighter fails two drug tests and he is scheming behind the scene to put the fight on. He is what he is, I won't say what as I don't want to get suspended or banned on here, but I'm sure posters on here are intelligent enough to connect the dots together.

    Any ban will be backdated to the date of any failed test per the precedent set when Fury had issues with boar meat.

    We all see what is coming.

    I will be very impressed if he is banned for at least 2 years from the date of the hearing.

    It's quite funny this whole saga as everyone's forgotten what Henn is like as a boxer.

    He was mediocre and debatable as to whether he was British level whilst juiced to the gills, now he'd probably do well to win an English title without the drugs.

    The version of Conor Benn who hasn't eaten eggs is worthless.

    The talk in September was 'there is a hearing next month.'

    Here we are half way through 'next month' and not a word. Except.....Turki wants to include him on a May card.

    Makes me suspect a penalty has already been handed down and we won't hear another word about the matter.

    Conor Benn having a bit of back and further with Chisora. Benn is almost in tears.

    You can see from his behaviour Benn is a proper bellend. I can understand Hearn suffering him because Hearn is also a rich kid, but people like Frank Smith must find him infuriating.

    He flies off the handle, gets upset easily if you criticise him, clearly gets violent when he loses his temper.

    In the whole of boxing he is by far the biggest wanker
