Chris Eubank Jr says he has compensated the fighters on the undercard who were set to box when his bout with Conor Benn was cancelled in 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n
The contest was called off<\/a> when Benn failed a voluntary drugs test, prompting a two-year battle with anti-doping authorities, before his suspension was lifted in November.<\/p>\n The middleweight bout between the Britons has been rescheduled to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26.<\/p>\n Eubank posted a screenshot on Instagram, external<\/span><\/a> appearing to show payments to 10 fighters who missed out on the original fight card.<\/p>\n He wrote: “Here’s a little something to help out the undercard fighters that were left out of pocket.”<\/p>\n “Few boxers didn’t want to give me their bank details… maybe they will now.”<\/p>\n Shannon Courtenay, who was set to fight on the undercard, replied “man of his word – thank you” to Eubank Jr’s post.<\/p>\n Unified IBF and WBO super-bantamweight titles champion Ellie Scotney, meanwhile, wrote “what a guy”.<\/p>\n Benn, 28, has always denied intentionally doping and both fighters are being tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (Vada) for next week’s contest.<\/p>\n An independent report by the WBC in February 2023 said Benn’s failed drugs test was not intentional and could have been caused by a “highly elevated consumption” of eggs.<\/p>\n The pair had to be kept apart by security at a news conference in April after Eubank smashed an egg across Benn’s face<\/a> during a face-off two days prior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
