Eddie Hearn reveals Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr will likely take place at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on February 3

Eddie Hearn has revealed Conor Benn's fight with Chris Eubank Jr will most likely take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on February 3.

The pair had been set to renew an old family feud stretching back decades when their highly anticipated bout was scheduled for October last year.

However, on the eve of the fight it was revealed by Mail Sport that Benn had twice tested positive for the banned substance clomifene in the build up to the fight.

The promoters of both fighters tried to keep the fight on, but when lawyers failed to obtain a High Court injunction the fight was shelved.

Benn maintained his innocence and spent 'hundreds and thousands' on scientists to clear his name after traces of clomiphene were found in his samples.

A provisional suspension imposed by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) was lifted by the independent National Anti-Doping Panel in July.

But UKAD and the British Boxing Board of Control decided to lodge an appeal against that decision.

Mail Sport understands an appeal may not be heard, let alone resolved, until December or January at the earliest.

Therefore, Hearn wants Benn to be able to continue his career in the UK while the process remains ongoing and he is not suspended by UKAD.

So, the Matchroom promoter has decided to go ahead with scheduling the all-British bout between Benn and Eubank Jr.

Hearn has now revealed the fight between the pair will most likely take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on February 3.

Speaking to iFL TV earlier in the week, Hearn said there was still work to be done on the deal but insisted they were extremely close.

During an interview with Mail Sport last month, Benn revealed he had struggled to come to terms with the fact people will always associate his name with last year's
