Conor Benn continues his career in the United States, gearing up for his upcoming bout against Peter Dobson in Las Vegas this Saturday. In recent victories over Chris Algieri, and Chris van Heerden, Benn had originally lined up to face Chris Eubank Jr. However, the 'Destroyer' faced setbacks as he tested positive for clomifene, a fertility drug known for boosting testosterone levels, resulting in the cancellation of the Eubank Jr. bout. Benn endured a year-long suspension due to the failed drug tests, which was later lifted by the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) after determining that he did not intentionally consume clomifene.
Despite the NADP's decision, both the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD) and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBB of C) have appealed the ruling, preventing Benn from obtaining a license to compete in the UK.
On September 23, 2023, Conor Benn marked his return to the ring after a hiatus of 525 days. His comeback fight took place in Orlando, Florida, where he faced Mexican opponent Rodolfo Orozco. Benn secured victory in the bout through a unanimous decision
