The British Boxing Board of Control have reportedly rejected Conor Benn's application to take on Chris Eubank Jnr.
The two were set to cross paths in a titanic bout last year, before a positive test for clomifene was returned by Benn to the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, with the fight duly called off.
He would later be charged by UKAD in April 2023, which threatened a two-year suspension after returning a second positive test.
The British fighter then appeared to confirm that a fight was on the cards at last, igniting another war of words and promising to 'end' Eubank Jnr's career, although this latest setback could once again scupper plans.
