🚨 BREAKING: CONOR BENN ROCKED BY ANOTHER FAILED PED TEST AHEAD OF CHRIS EUBANK JR. CLASH – FIGHT IN JEOPARDY!
The boxing world is in upheaval as Conor Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) faces a devastating blow just weeks before his highly anticipated April 26, 2025, showdown with Chris Eubank Jr. (34-3, 25 KOs) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Sources have revealed that Benn has allegedly failed another performance-enhancing drug (PED) test, casting a dark cloud over the middleweight grudge match and reigniting controversy from his 2022 doping scandal. With the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) and promoters scrambling, fans are left wondering: is this the end of the Benn-Eubank saga?
According to unconfirmed reports circulating on X and boxing circles, Benn’s latest test, conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), flagged a banned substance—details of which remain undisclosed pending official confirmation. The news, first whispered late Saturday, April 12, 2025, has sent shockwaves through the sport, especially given Benn’s history. In 2022, he tested positive for clomifene, a fertility drug that boosts testosterone, forcing the cancellation of their original bout. Benn, then 26, blamed contamination and was later cleared to fight in the UK, but this new allegation threatens to derail his comeback and the blockbuster event. “If true, this is catastrophic for Benn,” a boxing insider told ESPN, hinting at a potential suspension or fight postponement.
The timing couldn’t be worse. The Benn-Eubank rivalry, steeped in their fathers’ 1990s legacy, has been building to a fever pitch. Eubank Jr., fresh off taunting Benn with an egg-slapping stunt at a February press conference, has yet to comment publicly, but his camp is reportedly “furious” at the prospect of another disruption. Promoters Matchroom Boxing and Wasserman Boxing, stung by the 2022 fiasco, face a logistical nightmare, with 60,000 tickets sold and a Canelo Alvarez sweepstakes dangling for the winner. “They’re in crisis talks with the BBBofC,” a source close to Matchroom revealed. “No one wants a repeat of last time, but the board may pull the plug.”
Benn’s team has remained tight-lipped, but posts on X suggest he’s preparing a defense, possibly echoing his 2022 contamination claim. “Conor’s been clean since—why now?” one fan tweeted, while another jabbed, “Benn’s done if he’s caught again. Eubank’s laughing.” The BBBofC, burned by accusations of mishandling the 2022 case, is under pressure to act swiftly. A statement is expected Monday, April 14, 2025, after Benn’s B-sample is tested—a process that could clear or condemn him.
The fallout is already rippling. Tony Bellew, who predicted Benn would stop Eubank early, now faces scrutiny for backing him, while Eubank’s pledge to pay £50,000 to 2022’s undercard fighters looms as a bitter reminder of past losses. If the fight collapses, undercard stars like Harlem Eubank and Ellie Scotney could lose another payday. Fans on X are split—some demand Benn’s ban, others smell sabotage: “Someone’s spiking his water to protect Eubank!” one post speculated.
Questions swirl as the clock ticks. Is Benn’s career at stake, or can he salvage his name again? Will Eubank Jr. push for the fight regardless, as he did in 2022, or walk away? And what’s the BBBofC’s next move—sanction or shutdown? With no official confirmation yet, the boxing world holds its breath.
