    Predictably baffling and disappointing outcome that is about as clear as mud to decipher.

    I recall drummer boy Molina being selected as Breazeale's WBC eliminator opponent whilst Molina was serving a UKAD ban.

    Or more recently Zolani Tete tested positive with UKAD after a world title fight and that seems to have just been brushed under the carpet.

    So, I wouldn't worry, as it seems if foreign fighters test positive with UKAD, it isn't a big deal either.

    When are the BBBofC going to make a statement?

    In Benn's interview with Piers Morgan not long back, he said “They filed 7 misconduct charges against me" and I'm pretty sure Benn was referring to the BBBofC.

    Assuming that's the case, what was the outcome of all those charges?

    From the BBBofC website :

    29/07/2023
    CONOR BENN

    The British Boxing Board of Control is aware that Conor Benn issued a public statement today, 28th July 2023, in relation to proceedings between UK Anti-Doping and him. The BBBofC refers to the statement published in response by UKAD at https://www.ukad.org.uk/news/statement-uk-anti-doping-conor-benn-vada-test

    The BBBofC will provide a further statement if and when able to do so. All enquiries regarding this matter should be directed to UK Anti-Doping.

    My conclusion : This aint over.

    I had a thought I know it wouldn't be right to give the cheat a title shot but how good would it be to see Crawford fight Benn next and punish this arrogant cheat.
