“There’s also the observation of Ramadan through April 9, and Benn promoter Eddie Hearn saying he’s waiting on an appeal to the British Boxing Board of Control to see if Benn will be cleared to fight in the U.K. following two positive tests for the banned substance clomiphene before his scrapped bout against Chris Eubank Jr., which was to happen at London’s O2 Arena Oct. 5, 2022.
Hearn didn’t immediately return messages from BoxingScene Saturday but he recently told IFLTV this: “Listen, we all want that fight, and obviously Manny flew in for talks and to watch the show in Saudi Arabia, so that’s what we’d like to do,” Hearn said. “We’re waiting for the … announcement from the appeal. We were told it was going to be in two weeks, and it’s now nearly four weeks, so we’ll be hearing about that appeal any day.
“It’s not in our hands, it’s in the hands of the Board and their decision will determine where Conor Benn’s next fight will be because, quite frankly, we could do Conor Benn versus Pacquiao in a stadium in London.”
