Benn's Boxing Return KO'd! Matchroom Boss Speaks After Failed Drug Appeal!
In a recent turn of events, Conor Benn's anticipated return to the boxing ring has hit a major roadblock. The Matchroom CEO, Frank Smith, has finally spoken out about the failed appeal to the UK Anti Doping Agency (UKAD) and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC), leaving Benn's future hanging in the balance.
Benn had hoped to clear his name and resume his boxing career in the UK after testing positive for the banned substance clomifene before a scheduled bout with Chris Eubank Jr. back in 2022. However, despite his efforts, the latest ruling has dashed his aspirations.
Speaking to Boxing Social, Smith expressed his disappointment over the outcome of the hearing. He stressed the confidential nature of the legal proceedings, preventing any of the involved parties, including Matchroom, from commenting on the ongoing matter. When pressed for details on the next steps, Smith remained tight-lipped, citing the ongoing nature of the situation.
The prolonged process has taken its toll, with Smith acknowledging the impact on Benn's life and career. With no resolution in sight, the uncertainty surrounding Benn's future in boxing persists.
As the boxing community awaits further developments, the fallout from the failed appeal continues to reverberate, leaving fans and pundits alike speculating about Benn's next move.
