The British Boxing Board of Control has prohibited Saturday’s fight between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr after Benn insisted the fight would still be going ahead. The governing body announced ‘it is not in the interest of boxing’ after Benn failed an anti-doping test in the run-up to Saturday’s fight. Earlier, Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn had also been confident the fight would still be going ahead as planned, saying this has ‘happened before with fighters’ who have been found not guilty.
