Conor Benn vs. Chris Eubank Jr. is now OFF.
Benn tested positive for an illegal substance in August, and on Wednesday, it was revealed that he had failed a VADA test.
The British Boxing Board of Control forbade the fight from happening, but the promoters insisted they would keep trying to make it happen.
However, following lengthy negotiations on Thursday, it was decided to cancel the all-British grudge bout, which would have matched Chris Eubank Sr. and Nigel Benn against each other.
