JAKARTA - Conor Benn's fight against Chris Eubank Jr will continue. This match was doubtful because Benn reportedly failed to pass a doping test.
The clash between Benn and Eubank Jr will take place on Saturday, October 8. This repeats the fight between their father and father, 30 years ago.
The ticket to the fight which will be held at the O2 Arena has also been sold out. However, fans were worried because Benn was declared to have failed the doping test, as reported by SunSport.
But the promoter, Eddie Hearn, gave a waiver statement.
"We have been informed that a random anti-doping test for Conor Benn conducted by the Independent Anti-Doping Association found a small number of illegal drugs," Hearn said.
"Sampel B has not been tested, meaning no violations of the rules have been confirmed," he continued.
With no charges related to violating the rules, it means Benn is not suspended. So he remains free to fight, including against Eubank Jr later.
In addition, Benn has also received the green light from the British Anti-Doping Agency, the anti-doping authority that has been delegated by the British Board of Boxing Control for doping control testing for fights.
"Mr. Benn has passed all doping control tests carried out by UKAD," he said.
When Benn was hit by a problem, Eubank Jr. was still preparing for the fight later. He also maintains his diet in order to get the right weight to meet Benn.
