Conor Benn

Conor Nigel Bennis a British professional boxer. He is the son of former two-division world champion of boxing Nigel Benn.

In March 2023, the UK Anti-Doping Agency formally charged and provisionally suspended Conor Benn for an Article 2.2 violation for the alleged use of a prohibited substance, after two voluntary drug tests came back positive on two occasions for clomifene, on 25 July 2022 and 1 September 2022 respectively, while in the build up to the subsequently cancelled bout against Chris Eubank Jr..

In July 2023, a ruling made by the NADP (National Anti-Doping Panel) saw his suspension lifted, clearing the way for him to fight again. However, UKAD and the BBBofC (British Boxing Board of Control) appealed the NADP ruling and his provisional suspension was reimposed on May 10, 2024.

On 6 November 2024, Benn had his provisional suspension lifted once again after an independent NADP panel ruled it was "not comfortably satisfied" that it had been proved he had committed an anti-doping rule violation.

UKAD stated that they would carefully review the panel’s decision in accordance with its appeal rights under the UK Anti-Doping Rules. On 28 November 2024, UKAD and the BBBofC both announced they would not appeal.
