CONOR BENN's family grudge match with Chris Eubank Jr will take place in January, promoter Eddie Hearn has claimed.<\/p>\n
The surging welterweight was set to face the former IBO super-middleweight champion last October before a pair of failed pre-fight drug tests scuppered the latest instalment of the family feud<\/span>.<\/p>\n Despite returning to the ring in September for a short-notice showdown with Rodolfo Orozco, Benn – the son of British boxing great Nigel – is currently NOT<\/strong> licensed to compete in the UK.<\/p>\n The British Boxing Board of Control and UKAD both appealed the National Anti-Doping Panel's ruling that Benn was innocent of intentionally taking the banned fertility<\/span> drug found in his system.<\/p>\n But Hearn is confident the BBBofC and UKAD won't slap his man with a suspension, so much so he's claimed January joust with Eubank Jr will come to fruition.<\/p>\n The Matchroom Boxing chief told iFL TV: "In terms of Benn-Eubank, that fight is going to happen in January in the UK."<\/p>\n
