SHOCKING: Conor benn failed drugs test emerges days before chris eubank jnr boxing showdown | Mind Blowing Facts

Conor Benn has failed a drugs test but is still set to face off against Chris Eubank Jnr on Saturday.

The Daily Mail reported that the 26-year-old had tested positive for trace amounts of banned substance clomifene, a drug usually used to treat infertility in women but can increase testosterone in men. Clomifene is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency, and the news had initially thrown the fight on October 8 into grave uncertainty.

However, it has now been confirmed that the test took place in September and Benn has since passed a doping control test by UK Anti-Doping Agency, meaning the fight at London's O2 Arena will still go ahead.
