Conor Benn was on his hind legs at the moment, calling out Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, saying he’s able to combat the unbeaten IBF welterweight champion. Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) says he’ll combat the unbeaten Boots (32-0, 29 KOs) or the opposite champions at 147, Mario Barrios and Eimantas Stanionis.
Benn appeared type of crazed when he talked about eager to tackle Ennis, and he could not have been considering too clearly about what the People would do to him.
If Benn is critical about wanting a combat in opposition to 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 in opposition to 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 aside from a light 37-year-old Chris Algieri in 2021.
Benn wouldn’t even fee as a tune-up combat for Jaron Ennis as a result of he’s too common, and he’s appeared horrible in his current fights in opposition to Peter Dobson and Rodolfo Orozco.
Conor just isn’t critical about eager to combat Boots or any of the champions proper now as a result of he’s being lined up for a combat in opposition to middleweight Chris Eubank Jr. These two have been speculated to combat in 2022, however Benn bought popped for a PED, which ruined these plans stalled out his profession.
Even when Benn needed to combat 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 attention-grabbing to see if it brings in a good variety of buys.
It’ll in all probability do nicely within the UK as a result of these two are the equal of celebrity-level boxers and never critical 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 degree.
Eubank Jr. didn’t impress in his current combat 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 shrink back from no one. I’m prepared to go as much as 160 to combat any individual they are saying I can’t beat,” mentioned Conor Benn to Battle Hub TV, referring to the profession underachiever Chris Eubank Jr.
“So, then come right down to 147. I’m a combating man. That is what we do; that is our life. You by no means shrink back from a combat. You exit in your protect. It’s who you’re. It’s your DNA; it’s your make-up. You don’t get far on this recreation in case you’re scared to combat anyone,” mentioned Benn.
