Conor Benn remains 'free to fight' despite returning a positive sample for the banned substance clomifene ahead of Saturday's blockbuster showdown against Chris Eubank Jr at the O2 Arena.
The 26-year-old is reported to have been randomly tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association [VADA] with sources initially throwing this weekend's bout in London into serious doubt.
However, with a statement now being issued insisting Benn is free to fight, the catch weight fight looks set to go ahead in front of a sold-out crowd in the capital.

Listed as a prohibited substance by both the World Anti-Doping Agency [WADA] and VADA, clomifene is on the list as both a hormone and metabolic modulator. UFC star Jon Jones has previously been suspended for also returning positive samples of the drug.
A decision has since been made by both Wasserman and Matchroom Boxing stating the fight will go ahead as planned. It read: ''We have been made aware that a random anti-doping test for Conor Benn conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association returned an adverse analytical finding for trace amounts of a fertility drug.
''The B sample has yet to be tested, meaning that no rule violation has been confirmed. Indeed, Mr Benn has not been charged with any rule violation, he is not suspended, and he remains free to fight.''
With Saturday's fight set to be fought at 157lb, Benn has been asked to step up from his usual welterweight category to the middleweight division. In a recent interview building up to the fight, he described his training and diet as progressing well.
Benn said: ''I'm eating a lot. There's plenty of things you can eat. I don't eat a lot
