Supporting the undercard is Benn, son of British boxing legend Nigel, who will fight undefeated Indian star Faizan Anwar.

The middleweight, 26, is 9-1 while Anwar, 21, is a 13-0 prospect.

Global Titans announced the fight and announced that anti-doping testing will be conducted.

A statement said: “The Middle East Professional Boxing Commission has requested a full anti-doping testing program for this bout.”

This comes after news that Benn’s brother Conor failed a prefight drug test ahead of his catchweight fight with Chris Eubank Jr.

Conor, 26, returned an adverse finding for the banned substance clomiphene in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test.

The substance, which is normally used to treat infertility in women but can increase testosterone levels in men, is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

This resulted in the British Boxing Board of Control refusing to license the fight set for Saturday, which was eventually canceled by the promoters.

Conor, who has passed UK anti-doping tests conducted by the British Boxing Board of Control and will not be suspended, has pleaded innocent.

He said: “I am really disappointed that we are not able to do this fight on Saturday and I feel sorry for everyone affected by this postponement.

“I’m still shocked and shocked by this and it’s been a rough couple of days.

“My team and I will consider the next options, including rebooking the flight, but my immediate focus is on clearing my name for being a clean athlete!”

Eubank Jr, 32, ready to fight, hit Conor in a series of posts.

He tweeted: “Conor was caught using an illegal substance so the fight is over. I can not believe it.

“I really apologize to the fans and everyone who bought tickets, traveled and booked hotels, this shouldn’t have happened.

“He’s escaped his school days… for now.”
