Conor Benn has been in controversy for the past 7 months. The former welterweight champion failed his VADA drug test in which he tested positive for Clomiphene in October of last year. Though, he vehemently denied consuming or injecting any banned substances, to the extent, that the 26-year-old decided to take his battle with the BBBofC to court.

However, in a recent turn of events; the boxer stated that his approach to the controversy was not correct. Expressing his regret, he revealed that he should not have taken such a hostile route to clear his name from the controversy.

What did Benn confess about his investigation?

Being accused of using banned substances can potentially jeopardize a boxer’s career. Benn wanted to clear the air about his drug test but in the process took some actions that he now regrets.

IFLTV took to Twitter to report the comments made by Benn reflecting on how he has dealt with the controversy. He stated, “It shocked me, and there’s a lot of regrets, the way I dealt with this. There is a lifetime of regrets in the way I have dealt with this.”
