Conor Benn has issued an apology to the boxing public over the way he reacted to his positive drugs tests. The 26-year-old welterweight contender twice tested positive for the banned substance clom…
: “When it first all came out and the media was pushing this narrative, I couldn’t talk, I couldn’t say anything.“I was a little bit bitter towards the public, I was a little bit bitter towards the boxing community, I was angry.Advertisement
“I’m emotional, I can’t help it, people know I’m emotional, it’s just the way I am, I’m an emotional guy.“Maybe it wasn’t the right thing, maybe the way I dealt with it wasn’t right.“They deserve more from me, but in my head I’m bitter and angry because I’m seeing this every day, ‘He’s guilty, he’s guilty. He’s done it, he’s guilty.’
“I’m getting angry reading it every day, people thinking that I could do something like this. It was targeting my character and what I stand for. I don’t condone it at all.”Benn received no punishment from a WBC investigation into his positive tests, but a UKAD investigation is now underway and could still see him banned

“I’d rather lose a fight than seriously hurt someone,” he continued, “Because I don’t think I could live with that.“Because I’ve seen the damage, I’ve seen it cause pain, I’ve seen it hurt people. So what’s losing a fight?
