Hearn was going to make an awful lot of money from this. He won’t be going down with out a (very expensive) fight.
Benn's promoter Eddie Hearn, of Matchroom Boxing, told BBC Sport: "As we stand right now, the British Boxing Board of Control is not sanctioning the fight.
"That does not mean the fight is off, but there is a process we have to go through…..Conor Benn is not suspended, he is free and clear to fight. There's lots going on with the lawyers."
Seems Hearn is weazeling his way around the rules.
