Conor Benn has now been cleared to fight with UKAD and has chosen not to appeal the NADP’s decision to dismiss charges. The 28-year-old Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) can now resume his career in the UK. He no longer faces a ban and can continue to fight without being restricted.
While this is a positive for Benn on the surface, it does not guarantee success in fights against top tier fighters, even those with inflated rankings such as Chris Eubank Jr. Benn is expected to rush a fight with Eubank Jr. or possibly WBC welterweight champion will start. Mario Barrios.
The odds of Benn beating Eubank Jr or Barrios are pretty slim as he hasn’t shown the same power he once had before his two year suspension.
Still unproven
British fans are still in love with Conor Benn, even though he never beat any top contenders during his eight-year career. He is popular because he is the son of the famous British fighter Nigel Benn, and that goes a long way in the UK. Being the son of a famous boxer automatically puts them above talented fighters. It’s a celebrity type thing.
British boxing fans bad need a star to worshipand Benn is about the best they can hope for right now. Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are old and almost done, and only hanging on because of their past achievements.
Benn’s last six wins:
– Peter Dobson
– Rodolfo Orozco
– Chris Van Heerde
– Chris Algieri
– Adrian Granados
-Samuel Vargas
Can Hearn manufacture a star?
If promoter Eddie Hearn uses his sly matchmakers expertise, he can maneuver Benn to avoid being beaten repeatedly to help bring in the money for the next three to five years. For Hearn to do that, he has to forget Benn vs. Eubank Jr. to suit, because he will probably be found out by him. The 35-year-old Eubank Jr. is NOT a true world class fighter, but he is still good enough to beat a fighter of Conor Benn’s level.
If you’re Hearn, tell the public that Benn needs adjustments to shake off the cobwebs and focus on matching him against fringe contenders until he’s a weak champion or a vacant belt with a beatable contender in the drive see wait
Winning a world title would validate Benn in the eyes of the British public, but not with the American fans. They have their eyes open and know what Ben is about, and they won’t waste their time watching his fights.
