What has happened to Conor Benn?

Conor Benn’s career hit a wall in 2022 after he tested positive for clomifene, a banned fertility drug, in two voluntary anti-doping tests conducted by VADA. The adverse findings forced the cancellation of his scheduled bout with Chris Eubank Jr. and led to a provisional suspension by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) in October 2022. ESPN reported that Benn was charged by UKAD in April 2023 over the alleged use of clomifene.

In July 2023, the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) cleared Benn, stating it was not comfortably satisfied that UKAD had proved a violation. The BBC reported that the provisional suspension was lifted on 2024-11-06. However, UKAD and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) successfully appealed that decision, and Benn was provisionally suspended again in May 2024, as BBC noted. As of early 2025, the appeal outcome remains pending.

The failed drug test and provisional suspension

Benn’s ESPN-reported failed tests for clomifene triggered an immediate provisional suspension. The WBC initially cleared him of intentional doping in February 2023, accepting that high egg consumption could explain the positive result, as ESPN covered.

UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) statement and appeal

UKAD announced the provisional suspension and later appealed the NADP clearance. The case is now in the hands of an independent tribunal.

Benn voluntarily relinquished his BBBofC licence after the controversy, according to Wikipedia. He has since fought overseas, including the 2025 bout against Eubank Jr. at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
