The British Boxing Board of Control will not sanction Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn if that fight was staged on February 3.
Eubank and Benn, the sons of historic rivals Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn, were due to box last year. But Conor Benn tested positive for a banned substance ahead of that fight.
He did box in Florida in September but has not competed in Britain since April of last year.
Benn’s provisional suspension was lifted by the independent National Anti-Doping Panel but the British Boxing Board of Control and UK Anti-Doping have lodged an appeal against that decision.
Speculation has been mounting that Eubank Jr would fight Benn on February 3.
But that event would not be licensed by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC).
