Conor Benn Breaks Silence Following UKAD Appeal Rejection
Conor Benn's boxing future remains shrouded in uncertainty after the UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) appeal verdict went against him. The 27-year-old welterweight, who boasts a record of 21 wins (14 KOs) and 1 loss, has been out of action for 18 months due to a positive drug test for clomifene.
Benn's return to the ring, marked by two unconvincing unanimous decision victories in the US, reignited hope for a potential comeback in the UK. He was even linked to a dream fight against boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, with his promoter suggesting a UK venue.
However, the recent appeal loss by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) and UKAD against the initial lifting of Benn's suspension significantly diminishes his chances of fighting in Britain anytime soon. This decision adds another layer of complexity to Benn's comeback narrative.
Despite the setback, Benn took to social media, posting a message emphasizing his work ethic and focus, stating: "Work ethic unmatched. Block out the noise and stay focused!"
