The fight between British Boxers Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr scheduled to take place at the O2 Arena in London has been called off by the British Boxing Board of Control after Benn failed a drugs test ahead of Saturday’s fight.

The organizers Match Room Boxing and Wasserman Boxing released a joint statement detailing that Benn returned an “adverse analytical finding” for traces of a fertility drug, but has not been charged.

The pair were due to face off almost 30 years since their fathers, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr, met in the rematch of their iconic rivalry.
