Conor Benn has responded after being mocked by Domino’s Pizza on social media in the wake of his drugs tests ruling from the WBC.

The 26-year-old twice registered positive for the banned substance clomifene in VADA drugs tests last year, causing his planned bout with Chris Eubank Jr in October to be cancelled.

On Wednesday, the WBC announced that they will be reinstating Benn into their welterweight world rankings.

They stated in their ruling that they could find “no conclusive evidence” to confirm he intentionally or knowingly ingested clomifene.

The WBC accepted Benn’s “highly-elevated consumption of eggs” as a “reasonable explanation” for his positive tests.

This outcome has raised eyebrows across the boxing world.

There is still a separate investigation ongoing from the BBBofC (British Boxing Board of Control) and UKAD (UK Anti-Doping) which could yet see Benn receive a ban.

As things stand though, this remains unresolved and so Benn is free to fight, albeit not in the UK on a BBBofC-sanctioned card.


There was plenty of reaction on social media on Wednesday, with Benn’s name being one of the top trends in the UK for several hours.

Upon seeing this, multiple brands sent tweets about the topic.

One of these was Domino’s Pizza.

The takeaway outlet mocked up an image off an egg-covered pizza and tweeted it with the caption: “Introducing the Conor Benn special.”

Benn did not take kindly to the mockery.

He responded by tweeting back: “I actually prefer @PizzaHut.”
