Conor Benn was on his hind legs as we speak, calling out Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, saying he’s able to battle the unbeaten IBF welterweight champion. Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) says he’ll battle the unbeaten Boots (32-0, 29 KOs) or the opposite champions at 147, Mario Barrios and Eimantas Stanionis.
Benn regarded sort of crazed when he talked about desirous to tackle Ennis, and he could not have been pondering too clearly about what the Individuals would do to him.
If Benn is severe about wanting a battle towards Boots, it means that he’s beginning to perceive that his profession is considered as a sham. He’s seen as a faux, a fighter matched purposefully towards tomato cans to construct an inflated file for advertising functions to promote him to the UK public.
The 28-year-old Benn has fought largely no one throughout his profession apart from a light 37-year-old Chris Algieri in 2021.
Benn wouldn’t even fee as a tune-up battle for Jaron Ennis as a result of he’s too common, and he’s regarded horrible in his current fights towards Peter Dobson and Rodolfo Orozco.
Conor is just not severe about desirous to battle Boots or any of the champions proper now as a result of he’s being lined up for a battle towards middleweight Chris Eubank Jr. These two have been presupposed to battle in 2022, however Benn bought popped for a PED, which ruined these plans stalled out his profession.
Even when Benn wished to battle Boots Ennis, his promoter, Eddie Hearn, would veto that concept. Hearn is saving Benn for Eubank Jr as a result of it’s one which the Brits love and it’s anticipated to be staged in Riyadh. It’ll be proven on DAZN PPV, and it’s going to be fascinating to see if it brings in a good variety of buys.
It’ll most likely do effectively within the UK as a result of these two are the equal of celebrity-level boxers and never severe ones over there. Within the U.S., followers don’t fee Benn or Eubank Jr. in any respect. They’re not must-watch TV. They’re on the scrub stage.
Eubank Jr. didn’t impress in his current battle on October twelfth, stropping journeyman Kamil Szeremeta within the seventh spherical on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol on the Kingdom Enviornment in Riyadh.
Benn Calls Out Jaron Ennis
“Come on, give me Ennis, no downside. Give me Barrios. Give me Stanionis. I don’t draw back from no one. I’m keen to go as much as 160 to battle someone they are saying I can’t beat,” mentioned Conor Benn to Combat Hub TV, referring to the profession underachiever Chris Eubank Jr.
“So, then come right down to 147. I’m a preventing man. That is what we do; that is our life. You by no means draw back from a battle. You exit in your defend. It’s who you might be. It’s your DNA; it’s your make-up. You don’t get far on this sport for those who’re scared to battle anyone,” mentioned Benn.
