There had then been strategies Eubank may lastly meet Conor Benn at both Wembley or the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, relying on Benn’s doping verdict.
Still, Eubank’s Kalle Sauerland promoter advised Boxing Social: “’How can I have a discussion about Connor Benn when I don’t know a verdict?
“I can’t hedge Jr’s career on a verdict. It’s a massive fight, bigger than before, but right now it’s not on the table, just like when people asked me if it was happening in Abu Dhabi.
“There were no offers on the table. People thought I was playing a game but did it happen? No.”
