Conor Benn met with recent online criticism after wearing the chain with the expression “not guilty” during a recent public appearance.
While the very sentence seemed to refer to his constant effort to spotless his name after two unsuccessful drug tests in 2022, the square design of the pendant quickly became the purpose of making fun.
Several fans in social media compared the accessory to “Jim will fix it“Badge-now a constant symbol associated with a disgraced television presenter in Great Britain Jimmy Savile.
The longtime program of BBC Savile, Jim, will fix it, broadcast from the 1970s to the 1990s and became a cultural basis before the scandal destroyed his heritage.
After the death of Savile in 2011, many investigations revealed the decades of sexual abuse, transforming souvenirs of the series – including the badge – into lasting symbols of institutional failure and fraud.
The visual comparison attracted intensive reactions between platforms, including X and Instagram. Critics called the “deaf tone” chain, citing the seriousness of the case of Benn and the public control surrounding his return of boxing.
One of the fans said: “Does Conor Benn wear Jim’s badge?”
Another added: “My dad wrote to me SMS -Ai asked if Conor Benn was wearing” Jim, he would fix the badge around his neck. “
The third person gave Cattell vs. during the fight. Eubank to Dazna, live from Manchester Arena, “Conor Benn with Jim will fix this chain in the first row.”
Benn has repeatedly denied the offenses and maintains that polluted supplements were responsible for forbidden substances found in his system.
Despite his protests, the British boxing community remains divided into a return to the ring.
Comparisons emphasize lasting polarization around Benn’s return and how some fans still see his claims about complete innocence.
