Promoter Ben Shalom believes the 'biggest' fight in British boxing will be successfully rescheduled if Conor Benn's licence is reinstated after suspension lifted.
A rescheduled blockbuster fight between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr will finally happen if the former's licence is reinstated by the British Boxing Board of Control , believes promoter Ben Shalom. Benn was under a provisional suspension after failing two voluntary drug tests ahead of a scheduled fight with Eubank Jr in October 2022, with that bout cancelled after he tested positive for banned substance clomifene.
' On the prospect of the fight taking place on home soil rather than Saudi Arabia, Shalom added: 'For me, it sells out a stadium. 'It's one of the biggest fights that you can do in the UK. So I think it will have to be significant for the fighters not to want to do it in the UK. 'I'm sure it's a fight that will interest Riyadh season and his Excellency, just because there just aren't many fights that come close to the magnitude of that one.
