Eddie Hearn has approached numerous commissions in the US about the possibility of obtaining a boxing licence for Conor Benn even though investigations into the fighter’s positive results for clomifene in two separate tests last year remain incomplete.

Clomifene can boost testosterone levels by up to 50% but Hearn said he believes Benn will receive an American licence in “a couple of weeks”.
