Comments Thread For: Warren on Benn, UKAD/BBBC Appeals: 'Anybody Who Has Any Concern About the Sport Will Support [the Appeals]'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Frank Warren is fully in favor of the efforts by Britain's governing bodies to get a handle on the Conor Benn drug scandal. And if his fellow denizens of the boxing world are worth any salt, says Warren, they should feel the same way as well.

Hearn is supposed to not only work in the interest of his fighters but also the integrity of the sport.

What his said about Miller and Whyte and what his saying about Benn is pure hypocrisy.

If Hearn promotes Benn he should lose the right to promote any fighter licenced by the BBBoC. the board should add this to their rules and policies.

First time you piss hot you should get a 4 year suspension. Second time should be a lifetime ban.

That would clear the air in no time. How many people signed the petition for an international boxing commission? We need to clean up this sport.

Eddie Hearn the PED watcher....the man knows dam well and simply doesn't give 2 shyts.

Not a Warren fan but he's in the right here. A lot of Hearn fighters have pissed hot recently. Of course the promoter can't be expected to know what fighters do 24/7 but reality is that the promoter who has a bunch of fighters testing positive is also the promoter always trying to find loopholes to get guys like Benn or Whyte off on a technicality at a secret hearing.

It's a mess but promoters like Hearn make it far worst, he should be clear that Benn goes before the board and explains WHY illegal drugs were found in his system , twice , not go to the WBC who have nothing to do with it ..it stinks and the way that Benn and Hearn are going about it can only mean that they know the earning will stop until he serves a suspension . I thought Hearn hated drug cheats!

"Where are all the journalist " that is the point here the whole line of garbage that passes as boxing writers n articles n podcasters and the like. They are on the hook n crook with promoters. There has always been talk and admittence that writers journalist and so forth in boxing never want to question promoters or platforms in any way as to jeporadize there access to fighters and interviews and being able to be the first to say you heard it here first. Not to mention access into certain fights ringside and the like. It is documented over and over again. And yet all day long stories and write ups appear and lead the boxing fan down a bull dog lie after bald face lie in reguards to the fight game. When do readers and fans think for themselves is another question.? And people call you a hatter or something similar for seeing the truth in boxing. The sport of boxing is great the way it is promoted and handled and sold to the general public is a shame and a sham.

Warren is right and everyone should be supporting the appeals.

Doesn't mention though that the greatest damage done to UKAD was by his fighter Tyson Fury and his wild boar fiasco.

Notice how Slow Eddie has gone MIA
Where’s that Sid knee guy to explain this one

To start, lets have it right, Frank and Eddie are as bad as each other - used car salesmen getting personal while protecting their assets. That's all.

That said, Frank Warren is spot on here.

Conor Benn has not been cleared, they found a loophole and used it to basically say no one has jurisdiction to act on his adverse findings. Why the f*** he spent "hundreds of thousands" on scientists is also a bizarre situation that needs questions - he hasn't proven anything scientific at all. Just that he's a spoiled little rich boy wannabe who has access to daddy's money and influence lol

Also, where are the real journalists!?!? It's all YouTubers who are desperate to be these people's mates, or people like Simon Jordan who's an angry wally with an agenda... Where's the Thomas Hausers, Colin Hart's etc, asking the real questions and raising awareness???
