Fury sends Jake Paul supportive message despite feud with brother Tommy
That comes following the news of Benn's brother Conor failing a pre-fight drug test ahead of his catchweight clash with Chris Eubank Jr.
Conor, 26, returned an adverse finding for the banned substance clomifene in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test.
The substance, usually used to treat infertility in women but can increase testosterone in men, is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
It led to the British Boxing Board of Control refusing to license the bout set for Saturday, which was eventually called off by promoters.

Conor, who did past the British Boxing Board of Control-governed UK Anti-Doping tests so will not be suspended, protested his innocence.
He said: "I am truly gutted we are unable to make this fight happen on Saturday and I am sorry to everybody who has been affected by this postponement.
“I am still shocked by this and shocked by this, and it has been a tough couple of days.
“My team and I will consider the next options including rescheduling the flight, but my immediate focus is on cleaning my name because I am a clean athlete!”
Eubank Jr, 32, who was ready to fight, slammed Conor in a series of posts.
He tweeted: "Conor got caught using an illegal substance so the fight is off. Can’t believe it.
"I really apologise to the fans & everyone that bought tickets, travelled & booked hotels, this should not of happened.
"He has escaped his schooling… for now."
