Ryan Garcia comments on Conor Benn situation: ‘Disgraceful’



As one of the rising stars of the British boxing scene working to clear his name from doping allegations, a young boxer from across the pond has spoken out about the situation.

The biggest fight of Conor Benn’s life has been pulled just two days before he was due to enter the ring. A family feud with Chris Eubank Jr has been banned by the British Boxing Supervisory Board after it was revealed that Benn had been found by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) to have a banned substance in his system.

While Benn and his team profess their innocence and vow to get to the bottom of the ‘adverse discovery’, fans who are fighting are making their point. Like Benn, Ryan Garcia is undefeated and is rising to the top of his division towards world titles. Americans watched it all unfold, and took to Twitter to condemn the ‘cheats’ and what’s happening in the UK – although he doesn’t mention Benn by name, it can be assumed that’s who he’s referring to depending on the context.

“No tolerance for cheating in sports. If you cheat you are weak!!!! Even if you end up competing and winning, how can you be happy with that and be proud. Hate. It is unbelievable what is happening in the UK”.

He then responded to a fan, who suggested it wasn’t just an issue in the UK.
