          I highly doubt they do any drug testing there.

              Benn is going to hospitalize Eubank; clomiphene or no clomiphene.

                      For question for my UK brothers. Is there really a demand for the fight? This seems to getting forced down our throats (pause). I think I speak for all of USA when I say there zero interest here for this, especially after Benn pissed dirty and now the fight taking place outside of UKAD imposed suspension.

                          “We need to deliver it this week in order to put together a successful event, especially from a tourism perspective. It gives us 12-13 weeks to really fill out and build out packages to bring people over from the UK particularly; we need a long enough lead time to allow people to plan. That’s the focus for us and why the time frames are important," Smith said.

                          “We’re going to have to hit targets and bring tourists over, and we need the ability and the time to do that.”
                          ​
                          This was a fight aimed at casual UK fans who want something to watch while drunk after the football. Not sure there are many who will fancy travelling thousands of miles to a country with no alcohol just to see it.

                              Really hope that Eubank turns it down and fights Smith in the postponed rematch.

                                  Only the Saudis that offer big money for a fight that doesn't make any sense whatsoever anymore.

                                  That is, unless you're still fascinated by the whole Benn and Eubank family boxing rivalry.

                                      I guess there is a demand in the UK for this fight because they have been pushing it hard no matter what has happened.
