into doubt with details still to be finalised<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn have been in talks over a rescheduled fight\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><b>Details are still to be finalised and the rivals engaged in a social media spat\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jake and Logan Paul should be respected, they&#8217;re influential and blazing a trail &#8211; Listen to why on The Hook\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn have reignited their war of words, throwing their potential fight into doubt.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Benn made headlines in October 2022 when his bout with Eubank Jr was cancelled just days before it was due to happen after he twice tested positive for clomifene\u00a0in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) test, thereby receiving a ban.<\/p>\n<p>Although his suspension in Britain was lifted by the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) in July, the fighter is still facing a potential two-year ban in this country pending the outcome of appeals against that decision by the British Board of Boxing Control (BBBofC)\u00a0and UK Anti-Doping, as first reported by Mail Sport.<\/p>\n<p>He returned to action after 17 months in September when he took on little-known Mexican Orozco in Orlando, with the\u00a0BBBofC claiming at the time Benn had not cleared his name and shouldn&#8217;t be making a return to the ring.<\/p>\n<p>A rescheduled fight between Benn and Eubank Jr had been close to being finalised for February 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Mail Sport exclusively revealed last month.<\/p>\n<p><img

over a potential suspension for Benn<\/p>\n<p>However, there has not yet been confirmation and Benn took to X, formerly Twitter, to hit out at his rival.<\/p>\n<p>Posting a video of himself looking sharp in training, Benn said: &#8216;You lost you&#8217;re pen again @ChrisEubankJr.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>However, Eubank Jr bit back by firing a dig at the ongoing appeal over a potential suspension for Benn, along with teasing his rival&#8217;s grammar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You lost &#8216;your&#8217; license again,&#8217; he replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The aforementioned UKAD and the British Boxing Board of Control appeal against the decision of the NADP to lift Benn&#8217;s suspension, may not be heard, let alone resolved, until December or January at the earliest, Mail Sport understands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

name.<\/p>\n<p>Their social media spat comes after reports last week that the BBBofC reportedly rejected Benn&#8217;s application to take on Eubank Jr.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael Benson reported it has been rejected while the appeal in Benn&#8217;s UKAD case is ongoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While both parties are keen to put together plans for a bout, the BBBofC&#8217;s approval was always the key
