British Welterweight contender Conor Benn has recently reached out on Twitter with a message stating that his team had uncovered what they needed to prove his innocence. Though Benn (21-0, 14 KO’s) wasn’t specifically punished or cleared of alleged drug use prior to his fight with Chris Eubank Jr. (32-2, 23 KO’s), he did relinquish his license with the British Boxing Board of Control due to multiple reasons, primary amongst them their unwillingness to extend his professional boxing license.
