It’s been nearly 3 months since Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Nigel Benn‘s fight was canceled as Benn failed a drug test done by Voluntary Anti-Doping Association or VADA. Recently Chris Eubank Jr. posted a video on Twitter regarding that and gave some advice to Benn to get out of this situation. The matter is in the news again, and Eubank gave some tips to Benn on how he can be out of trouble. It may be a reply to Benn’s Twitter post that surfaced some days ago and he stated his innocence. Eubank also hinted that the anticipated fight may happen in the future.

Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn were said to enter the ring but the problem started when the latter got identified for using an illegal substance by VADA and later BBBofC or the British Boxing Board of Control halted the match. But recently Benn claimed that his team has proved his innocence.

He said, “I’ve stayed in the gym and continue to work extremely hard and staying positive that my innocence will be proven and the truth will come out.” He added, “My team has proven my innocence and I won’t be commenting further due to confidentiality.”

In the post, he stated he would be the world champion. 

 With the drug issue, his image has been damaged a lot, and he tried to recover some of it through the post. But, is it enough to convince fans? Maybe he is right but his opponent, Chris Eubank Jr. thinks it will not work until he comes out and take responsibility.
