In a stunning turn of events, British Welterweight boxer Conor Benn is gearing up for a triumphant return to the ring after enduring a year-long hiatus due to a ban imposed by the UK Anti-Doping Agency. Once a rising star in the UK’s Welterweight division, the young pugilist was abruptly halted when he tested positive in UKAD’s anti-doping tests, dashing his plans of a high-stakes clash against Chris Eubank Jr. However, with the clouds of accusation lifted, Benn is poised to reinvigorate his career with renewed determination and an unwavering spirit.
Benn’s journey to redemption is nothing short of a roller-coaster ride. A year ago, he was on the cusp of a significant showdown with Chris Eubank Jr, a battle that would have mirrored the legendary feud between their respective fathers. Despite this, fate had other plans for him. Fast forward to the present, and Benn’s demeanor is now one of resilience and optimism.

In a recent interview with iFL TV, ‘The Destroyer’ emphasizes that his involvement in the sport of boxing is no longer just about amusement or mere games. He vows to leave “no stone unturned,” signifying his unwavering dedication to exhaust every possible avenue for improvement. Moreover, according to him, this sport is an intrinsic part of his DNA that has been passed down through generations.
“It’s just personal for me, man. Like, this ain’t no fun and games no more. Not that it was fun and games before. I tell you, to tell you what I do very seriously. I leave no stone unturned. But for me, it’s like, I don’t want it to be no questions. I don’t want it to be no eyebrow-raising. It’s always been my DNA; it’s always been genetic,” said Benn.
Benn acknowledges the gravity of the situation, asserting that he is not taking anything lightly. However, the path to redemption is far from smooth for him. Despite being cleared of intentional doping by the World Boxing Council (WBC), Benn’s road to a comeback hit a roadblock.
