    The promoters' statement said: "We have been made aware that a random anti-doping test for Conor Benn conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association returned an adverse analytical finding for trace amounts of a fertility drug.

    "Mr Benn has since passed a doping control test conducted by the UK Anti-Doping Agency, the anti-doping authority to which the British Board of Boxing Control has delegated its doping control testing for the bout. Mr Benn has passed all doping control tests conducted by UKAD.

    "Both fighters have taken medical and legal advice, are aware of all relevant information, and wish to proceed with the bout this Saturday."

    I really would not hold out much hope of this. B samples turning out to be negative are such a tiny percentage.

    Eddie shown his true colours, if it was someone fighting against one of his fighters this would have been off and he would be making their name mud. I think Jr will have too much for him, but I'm a bit surprised this is still going ahead tbh. If Eubank was to get badly hurt in this, Matchroom are done

    One fighter having to drop to their lightest weight in a decade while the other is juicing up to gain size. Absolutely reeks and there's no way this fight should go ahead

    The only people who seem to think this fight should go ahead are the 2 promoters.  

    Listening to the 2 of them trying to justify it is sickening

    Shows how much credibility the UKAD has doesn't it? None.

    Hearn is an absolute slimeball he would sell his own mother to make a quick quid.

    Feel for the fighters on the undercard, and for Eubank who's worked so hard to make weight

    This is so mucky, I'm not a fan particularly of Eubank junior however he has been shat on here.

    It was a good fight, fairly close, but the wrong decision...

    Was out and had it on my phone, but from what I watched Mayer won that comfortably. Looking forward to this one... hope Marshall knocks her out, shields is unbearable

    I thought it was close but didn’t think Mayer lost. Got some dough on Marshall and really hope she batters that twat Shields
