Conor Benn has finally been cleared to fight in Britain, after UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) decided not to appeal the National Anti-Doping Panel’s move to lift his provisional suspension.
Benn has not fought in Britain since early 2022, having failed two drug tests later that year, in an episode that saw his British licence revoked and a suspension handed down.
Earlier this month, the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) lifted Benn’s suspension, though Ukad retained a right to appeal that decision. But on Thursday (28 November), Ukad said it would not lodge such an appeal.
However, the World Anti-Doping Agency has the final right to an appeal.
