Conor Benn has hit out at American boxing journalist Dan Rafael after receiving backlash to the announcement of his boxing return.in Orlando, Florida as part of the undercard of a show staged by his promoter Eddie Hearn.Benn is back in action this weekend, but many don't believe he should be allowed to fight while his UKAD case remains ongoingfor the banned PED clomifene in two separate VADA drugs tests last year, and an appeal over his UKAD case remains ongoing.
A ruling made by the NADP saw Benn's suspension lifted in July, clearing the way for him to fight for the first time in 18 months. It has been widely reported that the decision to lift Benn's suspension was 'focused heavily' on jurisdictional technicalities - specifically UKAD’s inability to rule on VADA tests - and did not include an examination of science explaining why clomifene was found in Benn's systemMore Boxing NewsRegardless, Benn is no longer suspended and free to fight in the meantime, so will return on Saturday night having obtained a licence to box in the USA.
There has been a fair amount of backlash to the announcement though, with many believing he should not be fighting while this situation remains unresolved. American journalist Dan Rafael tweeted on Wednesday: "The rumours are true. Matchroom Boxing has announced Conor Benn has been licensed by the Florida commission and will return Saturday in Orlando on the #HitchinsZepeda DAZN card. He faces Rodolfo Orozco at 154lbs despite having not yet been cleared after multiple positive drug tests."
