Eubank-Benn postponement to spark legal battle between promoters and BBBofC

Conor Benn’s fight against Chris Eubank Jr on Saturday has been postponed amid a threat of legal action against the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC).

Co-promoters Matchroom and Wasserman Boxing conceded defeat in their attempts to stage the catchweight meeting at London's O2 Arena in defiance of the BBBofC declaring it was “prohibited” and “not in the interests of boxing”.

The BBBofC acted after it was revealed on Wednesday that trace amounts of fertility drug clomiphene, which elevates testosterone levels in men, had shown up in a recent test by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA).

Hearn stressed that Benn has not been suspended for the doping violation and in a statement released in conjunction with Wasserman Boxing, blamed the sport’s governing body for the postponement.

“That remains a legal issue between the promoters and the Board which we intend to pursue.

For CEOs like Vinita Bali and Vineet Nayar, career gets diverse after retirement

Image
NEW DELHI: CEOs wear many hats and play many a role within the organisation they lead. And, as they move off the corporate limelight and give up day-to-day operational management, many of these business leaders are juggling multiple roles that provide diversity the CEO job cannot offer. Vinita Bali’s plural career started when she took up a full-time operational role as managing director of Britannia Industries. She was on a few overseas boards even then. For her, this diversity was very attractive.                                                                     Vinita Bali "Through this, you learn about different industries; you’re not focused only on your operational responsibilities."
