- Benn provisionally suspended by Ukad since 15 March
- Boxer tested positive twice for clomifene last year
The Conor Benn saga intensified on Tuesday with confirmation that the boxer has been provisionally suspended by UK Anti-Doping since 15 March.
This ruling has serious ramifications for any British boxing licence-holder – including promoters, managers, trainers and other fighters – who had been planning to be involved in Benn’s next bout outside the UK. The latest twist in this long-running story, which was confirmed by Matt Christie, the widely-respected editor of Boxing News, is another roadblock to Benn’s planned comeback abroad.
