Read our privacy policy Conor Benn has vowed to “return with a vengeance” after the World Boxing Council cleared him of an intentional doping offense. On Wednesday, the WBC ruled a “highly elevated consumption of eggs” was considered a “reasonable explanation” for Benn’s adverse finding which saw his catchweight bout with Chris Eubank Jr, scheduled for October 2022, cancelled. Despite the ruling from the WBC, Benn’s case continues to be investigated by UK Anti-Doping and the British Boxing Board of Control. “I want to thank my supporters for their patience and perseverance and am looking forward to my return with a vengeance.” Benn is to be subject to regular anti-doping testing to monitor the effect of the WBC’s programme geared to avoid the risk of a future adverse finding caused by nutritional factors.
