Eddie Hearn believes Conor Benn's meeting with Chris Eubank Jr on Saturday night could still take place even after the British Boxing Board of Control cancelled the bout.
Benn tested positive for a trace substance of the drug clomifene; a female fertility medication that is known to increase testosterone in men, during a VADA test. But he has passed the required UKAD testing put in place by the board, including ones that took place more recently than the positive test.
And Hearn still holds out hope that the pay-per-view event, which was set to draw massive numbers on Saturday night for broadcaster DAZN, will go ahead. Matchroom Boxing lawyers are in talks with the board now, in hopes of finding a resolution in time for the weekend.
