BRITISH boxers have been reminded to avoid a doctor infamous for boasting about doping loopholes. Disgraced Dr Usman Sajjad hit the headlines in 2022 following Conor Benn’s two failed drug tests and shameful cover-up. In a baffling move, the medical man had guested on podcasts and YouTube shows explaining in detail how fighters cheat and get away with it.

The overweight GP had used social media to reveal he specialises in hypogonadism, the male menopause and hormone replacement therapy. So when 28-year-old welterweight Benn was revealed to have twice had testosterone booster, Clomifene, in his system, ahead of the original Chris Eubank Jr clash, the spotlight was shine on Sajjad, who briefly deleted his social channels.

SunSport has spoken to members of the industry who claim the doctor is a just a fame-hungry fight fan who wants photos with his heroes. But, following the December bust of Dennis McCann - another British fighter he has been pictured with and claimed to help - the British Boxing Board of Control has moved to warn the sport of his reputation.

The circular said: “Please note that Dr Sajjad is not a registered Medical Officer with the British Boxing Board of Control and therefore, no medical documentation will be accepted at the Board’s head office undertaken by Dr Sajjad.”. Sajjad has repeatedly boasted claiming to have worked with Tyson Fury and brother Tommy.
