Boxing is less a sport and more a circus
Benn-Eubank Jr and Kinhan scandals show that when it comes to top-flight men’s boxing, all that matters is money, writes JOHN WIGHT
OVER two weeks on and boxing in Britain is still reeling over the “adverse finding” registered by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (Vada) in a Conor Benn drugs test taken at the beginning of September.
After far too much speculation and hesitation in the days leading up to his scheduled PPV clash with Chris Eubank Jr on October 9, mercifully the fight was postponed by promoter Eddie Hearn at the 11th hour.
This is a man whose reputation, given his unconscionable attempt to push the fight through regardless, now deservedly lies in the gutter.
