Not the greatest source, but if this is true, this has gone under the radar with all this shit going on. I hope Sr. Is ok.

The article appears to have been removed and was originally posted a couple of days ago. It would be all over the tabloids now if it was true.

I didn't want to see the fight happen anyway. It was a horrible money making exercise built on the back of the fights between two legends whose sons can't hold a jockstrap to them. Benn should be banned for a long time. I'd be fine with a lifetime ban.

Agree with this.

This was only ever a cynical cash grab.

These two have careers to be getting on with, particularly Eubank who is 33 and should be gunning for the big dogs at 160.

Benn is in one of the best divisions in the sport with some monsters at the top and coming up through the ranks whom he should be targeting too.

This fight was always a circus just trying to piggy back on a 30+ year old rivalry of their fathers who were far superior fighters.

The Cedric Paynoud fight changed it for Benn. This is the fight that let him know that he didn't have it and the realization of how hard boxing is.



Go to 34.08 in his post match interview with his face all busted up and being knocked down a few times and was lucky to get the decision. He already tells the interview that he's thought "This ain't for me" about boxing.

That was the moment he decided to cheat.

He knew he had a big name to carry and wasn't good enough to carry that name.

Clomid comes only in pill form. So he can't bullsh*t and tell everyone that he ate a steak or protein shake and clomid is a masking agent that's used to mask the BIG drugs that guys like him take. He's probably been taken growth hormone pills and EPO (Erythropoietin) injections....all that sh*t.

It wasn't enough for them to insist that Eubank cut himself to a weight he ain't been at since he was 18. It wasn't enough for them to insist on Eubank having a strict rehrdrayion clause (Setting a limit on how much weight Eubank can put back on after the weigh-in) ....but benn was jucing as well ?



It's almost like they were trying kill Eubank

Honestly ? If I was Eubank ? Now you're taken it to a street level. This is the type of sh*t were we are gonna settle this outside the ring. And I ain't talking about punches to the face.

I'll just leave it at that

Benn has improved significantly since that Peynaud rematch but I put it down to hard work, discipline and listening to his trainer. Maybe I was niave about that.

anyone know much about this usman sajjad guy that was associated with conor?

Conor Benn's former doctor facing investigation into doping claims

The British Boxing Board of Control is to investigate historic comments related to claims about doping tests which were made by a doctor who has previously worked with Conor Benn.

A £25 million pound fight between 26-year-old Benn and fellow Briton Chris Eubank Jr scheduled for last Saturday night in London was "prohibited" by the Boxing Board who refused to sanction the contest. It was cancelled the following day by the promoters Matchroom Boxing after it was revealed Benn had had an adverse finding for a banned substance in September as a result of a voluntary test under the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association. Benn tested positive for a fertility drug clomifene, a banned substance that can increase testosterone.

Last year, Dr Usman Sajjad gave an interview to Quality Shot Tennis in which he claimed the use of performance-enhancing drugs (Peds) was rife within boxing.

“Yeah, 80-90 per cent are doing it from what I’m seeing," Sajjad said. “It’s not just steroids. You’ve got all sorts. You’ve IV-fluid infusions after the weigh-ins, you’ve got diuretics, you’ve got growth hormones, you’ve got testosterone replacement.

“In terms of excuses, I don’t really believe them. Athletes know what’s going to happen if they fail. You have to be an idiot to fail a drug test in England, because a urine test is just 72 hours, so it means you would’ve taken drugs in the last two to three days.

“The one that trips up a lot of athletes is if you sign up to the random drugs testing. However, you can get around the random drug testing. There’s a lot of tricks, especially when you get to the higher level, the elite level. They’ll find every possible way of winning.”

Robert Smith, general secretary of the Boxing Board, told Telegraph Sport last night: "We have been made aware of these comments and will be looking into this and investigating it."

Dr Sajjad deleted his social media accounts and his own website – on which he stated his clients had included Benn, Tyson Fury, Joseph Parker, mixed martial arts fighter Paddy Pimblett, and “England Amateur Boxing” – as a result of receiving abuse in the wake of the doping storm which rocked one of the biggest British bouts of recent years.

Dr Usman’s lawyer, Scott Ewing of Ewing Law, declined to comment on his client’s current relationship with Benn or whether the pair had worked together in the build-up to the Eubank fight, citing “the sacrosanct rules governing the confidentiality of a doctor patient relationship”.

He added: “However Dr Usman categorically denies any wrongdoing that has been laid against him over the internet. This is why he has taken down his social media sites after receiving vile and untruthful abuse. Dr Usman has never had any present or historical involvement in the supply of Peds to any third party.”

Benn, who also denies any wrongdoing, faces a ban of up to four years if found guilty of taking the banned drug.

Dr Usman is registered as a medical officer with the British Boxing Board of Control, which blocked the Benn-Eubank fight from going ahead and faces being sued by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and co-promoters Wasserman.
