Conor Benn Cleared to Fight in Britain

Conor Benn has been cleared to fight in the UK after the UK Anti-Doping agency (UKAD) chose not to appeal a ruling that lifted his provisional suspension stemming from two positive drug tests for clomifene in 2022. This decision allows Benn to resume his boxing career after a two-year hiatus, during which he faced significant controversy and legal challenges. Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that Benn's priority is to fight WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, rather than a long-discussed bout against Chris Eubank Jr., which Benn hopes to make after potentially winning a world title. Hearn stated that negotiations for the Barrios fight are ongoing, with hopes of securing a deal soon. While UKAD has decided against appeal, the World Anti-Doping Agency retains the option to challenge the decision. Benn's return to the ring is highly anticipated, set against the backdrop of his family's historical rivalry with Eubank's family.
