After Regaining License, Conor Benn Calls Out Chris Eubank Jr
After two years of ban from boxing as a result of failed drug test, Connor Benn finally regained his license, which means he can now resume professional boxing. He has by virtue of his vindication called out his rival, Eubank Jr for a head-to-head match.
The National Anti-Doping Panel vindicated Connor Benn after twenty four months of ban. Prior to his ban, the boxer reportedly failed two drug test on the day he was to take on Chris Eubank Jr in 2022. Although, he had protested against the result and thereby appealed against the decision. The appeal was not granted until now that the NADP cleared him of wrongdoing.
Following his vindication, he took to his social media page to announce his regaining of license and thereby called out his rival Eubank for a feasible fight.
"I am thankful that after an incredibly challenging two years, the National Anti-Doping Panel has today finally cleared me of any wrongdoing," wrote Benn. "This past 24 months has unquestionably been the toughest fight of my life. A rollercoaster period within which the WBC had already decided that I was innocent and the NADP decided in the first instance that there was no case to answer and I was free to fight.
"As someone who is so passionate about boxing and an advocate for clean sport, I hope now I have been cleared it can be understood why I have maintained my innocence so strongly throughout. As a man of God I bear no ill will toward UKAD or the British Boxing Board of Control, we have a shared ambition of a clean sport and I look forward to reconciling with the Board and moving forward together.
"I have stayed disciplined and focused despite the challenges faced which is a testament to my desire to be great. I'm relieved to finally close this chapter and am excited to get back in the ring to realise my ultimate potential! Who wants it next!?" Benn's promoter Eddie Hearn added: "After a horrendous two years and a full hearing, so happy Conor has finally be cleared of any wrongdoing by the NADP. Get ready for one hell of a come back!"
