Re: Conor Benn’s ranking reinstated as drug testing issue resolved
"I am thankful that after an incredibly challenging 2 years the National Anti-Doping Panel has today finally cleared me of any wrongdoing," he wrote on X.
"This past 24 months has unquestionably been the toughest fight of my life.
"A rollercoaster period within which the WBC had already decided that I was innocent and the NADP decided in the first instance that there was no case to answer and I was free to fight.
"As someone who is so passionate about boxing and an advocate for clean sport, I hope now I have been cleared it can be understood why I have maintained my innocence so strongly throughout.
"As a man of God I bear no ill will toward UKAD or the British Boxing Board of Control, we have a shared ambition of a clean sport and I look forward to reconciling with the Board and moving forward together.
"I would like to thank my fans that have stood by me, your support has never and will never go unnoticed, and of course my friends and family, all of whom have displayed an unwavering belief in me.
"Only with the strength of all this support have I made it through. I would also like to thank Matchroom and Everlast as their steadfast support ensured that I could see the process through to a full conclusion.
"I have stayed disciplined and focused despite the challenges faced which is a testament to my desire to be great. I'm relieved to finally close this chapter and am excited to get back in the ring to realise my ultimate potential! Who wants it next!?"
Benn, in the meantime, has laid out the four fights he wants to have when he eventually steps through the ropes again.
Knockout artist Gervonta Davis is among them, as is Eubank Jr, Devin Haney and Errol Spence Jr.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
