Conor Benn is expecting an apology from his critics as an investigation into his failed drugs test continues.
Benn’s scheduled bout with Chris Eubank Jr was postponed last week after it emerged the 26-year-old had tested positive for the banned substance clomifene last month.
The British Boxing Board of Control subsequently prohibited the fight from taking place, despite promoters from both sides attempting to force a U-turn.
UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) is investigating Benn’s test, though his father and former WBO middleweight and WBC super-middleweight champion Nigel Benn has insisted he is a “clean athlete”.
In a story posted to his Instagram account on Wednesday, Benn wrote: “I hope the apology is as loud as the disrespect.”
Nigel Benn, who famously twice fought Chris Eubank Sr in the 1990s, declared his son’s team will “get to the bottom of this” following the fight’s postponement.
If found guilty of an anti-doping violation, Benn could receive a lengthy suspension from boxing – potentially lasting between two and four years.
