Conor Benn has 'voluntarily relinquished' his British boxing licence after 'allegations of misconduct' were upheld by the British Boxing Board of Control.

On October 5 - three days before his highly-anticipated showdown with Chris Eubank Jr - it was revealed that Benn had failed a VADA drugs test.

"Trace amounts" of clomifene were found in his system several weeks before all parties were notified of the positive test, said to be on September 23.

Despite knowledge of the situation for almost two weeks, the BBBofC did not prohibit the fight until the Wednesday of the fight, while Eubank Jr was prepared to continue with the bout after taking medical advice.

However, the fight was eventually postponed, and now Benn faces a battle of his own to prove his innocence, promoter Eddie Hearn acknowledging on talkSPORT on Wednesday that Benn was fighting for his career.

Hearn also suggested that Benn would be making a statement of his own later this week with legal proceedings currently preventing him from doing so.

Nevertheless, the BBBofC has released their own statement to reveal that Benn had recently given up his licence in light of recent events.

It read: "The hearing took place on 21 October 2022. On the morning of the hearing, Mr Benn voluntarily relinquished his licence with the BBBofC.

"In accordance with its rules and regulations, the Board determined the allegations following the hearing at which Mr Benn was legally represented. The allegations of misconduct against Mr Benn were upheld."

As it stands, it is unclear whether the latest development will have any impact on Benn commenting on the situation later this week.

While Benn failed a drugs test with VADA, he passed all tests with UKAD, who are recognised by the BBBofC.
