Conor Benn has called out the big names, including Jaron Ennis, in a desperate attempt to secure a big fight.
Benn was set to face Chris Eubank Jr. in 2022, but the fight was called off after Ben failed VADA tests for Clomiphene. He is currently working his way through the legal case as he aims to prove his innocence. The British Boxing Board of Control has not made a decision, leaving Ben’s career in limbo.
However, a decision is expected to be forthcoming as Ben chases the biggest fights. He recently had a face-off with Chris Eubank Jr. in Saudi Arabia following the latter’s victory over Kamil Szeremeta. There is a desire from both men to make that fight happen, but that all depends on Ben’s situation with his legal case.
Ben has also turned his attention towards Ennis, who recently signed a deal with Matchroom Boxing. He defended his IBF Welterweight Title by beating David Avanesyan in his first fight with Matchroom. He is set to face Karen Chukhadzhian in his next bout in November in an IBF mandatory defense. If Ennis comes through, Benn wants that fight.
“Come on, give me Ennis, no problem. Give me Barrios. Give me Stanionis. I don’t shy away from nobody. I’m willing to go up to 160 to fight somebody they say I can’t beat. So, then come down to 147. I’m a fighting man. This is what we do; this is our life. You never shy away from a fight. You go out on your shield. It’s who you are. It’s your DNA; it’s your makeup. You don’t get far in this game if you’re scared to fight anybody,” Benn said
