<\/p>\n

Harlem Eubank is hoping to secure a mega-fight with Conor Benn in his next outing but only if “The Destroyer” clears his name with the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) first. The National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) have lifted Benn’s provisional suspension with UKAD for his two failed pre-fight drug tests ahead of his much-anticipated bout with Harlem’s cousin Chris Eubank Jr last year.<\/p>\n

However, the BBBofC have since appealed the ruling while Benn is still without a license to box under the auspices of the British governing body. According to the Daily Mail, the NADP’s hearing did not include an examination of the science behind how clomifene was twice found in the fighter\u2019s system last year.<\/p>\n

Instead, the British tabloid claims that the independent body’s ruling focused heavily on UKAD\u2019s inability to recognise samples collected by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), who carried out the two tests that came back positive for clomifene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eubank called out Benn\u00a0after a dominant stoppage victory over Timo Schwarzkopf in\u00a0Brighton\u00a0earlier this month. The South Coast puncher is keen to get the fight on but wants to do so with the BBBofC’s blessing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to\u00a0Express Sport,\u00a0<\/em>he said: “After showing what I can do against Timo, who is a fringe world-level operator, I’m looking for the fights that can set me up for world title shots. So, that’s my goal in mind and the perfect domestic fight en route to that is Conor Benn.”<\/p>\n

Pressed on whether he would entertain a fight with Benn outside of the BBBofC’s jurisdiction, as his rival did during his comeback fight against Rodolfo Orozco in September, Eubank replied: “I think it has to be under the British Boxing Board of Control. They’re the standard bearers. They’re the ones that laid the foundations for all the champions that came before us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
