Read our privacy policy The highly-anticipated fight between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn was thrown into doubt on Wednesday when confirmation arrived that the latter had returned an ‘adverse’ drug test result. Wasserman promoter Kalle Sauerland confirmed the substance was clomifene while also revealing that “a trace finding of a female fertility drug” was found in Benn’s result “at the end of August or start of September” during the Vada testing scheme as agreed during negotiations for the fight. Sauerland also told Talksport: “It’s a non-performance enhancing drug, but it can raise testosterone.” But despite the news – and the British Boxing Board of Control ‘prohibiting’ the fight – Eubank Jr “wishes to proceed” with Saturday’s catchweight main event at London’s O2 Arena. No – that’s the medical opinions we have had.” Benn and Eubank Jr’s fathers engaged in one of the most storied rivalries in British boxing history, with Chris Eubank stopping Benn in the ninth round of their first clash, in 1990, before they fought to a split draw in 1993 – almost 29 years to the day before this Saturday’s scheduled bout.
