Hearn blasted as a ‘hypocrite’ for Benn drug test response

Eddie Hearn has been branded a ‘hypocrite’ by Jarrell Miller over his handling of Conor Benn’s positive drugs test. Benn returned adverse analytical findings for trace amount of the banned substance clomifene in a VADA drugs test leading to the Chris Eubank Jr fight being ‘prohibited’ by the BBBofC.

Despite this, Hearn and Kalle Sauerland attempted to change the board’s mind over the course of 24 hours. Hearn took a very different stance on Miller’s failed test ahead of his clash with Anthony Joshua in 2019.

Big Baby tested positive for GW1516, HGH and EPO causing the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) to deny him a license to box. At the time, Hearn ripped into the disgraced boxer for his actions but now Miller fired back in a video directed at the Matchroom Boxing Chief.

“We’re doing a quick video on the biggest jack*** that I know,” said Miller on his YouTube channel.

“This boy’s a hypocrite, Eddie Hearn let’s give him a round of applause…Let’s get right into the number one topic right now. Of course, Eddie Hearn and his new golden goose failing a drugs test.

“The ironic part about this whole thing is they’re fighting in the UK. UKAD and VADA are two different testing companies that they’ve been using. He failed doing the VADA protocol, now Eddie Hearn is saying they’re not gonna recognise VADA. Basically [being] a hypocrite and contradicting himself.

“They’re gonna uphold UKAD rules because he didn’t do anything wrong with UKAD. It’s so funny that this is the route he’s taking and the stance he’s taking on this situation. Of course with other fighters he’s thrown under the bus and especially me he threw under the bus crazy.”

Miller continued: “What makes it more funny is that Eddie Hearn’s really trying to dismiss it like it’s nothing when it’s his fighters. When it’s other fighters, he’s quick to say something about it.

“Eddie Hearn was more hurt about the AJ fight because of money. He didn’t matter for me because Eddie was my co-promoter, I had more than one promoter that I worked with.

“So it’s a lot easier and a lot cheaper for him to throw me under the bus and cut all ties with me than actually digging to the bottom of things and try to find a way to fight it. That’s the reason I was thrown under the bus. But Eddie we all know is a hypocrite. He’s worked with a tonne of fighters that have failed for worse than what I failed for.”
