Let’s face it. Conor Benn’s a full package. Outside the ring, Benn’s aggressive persona and no-nonsense demeanor intrigue fans and critics alike. Inside the ring, talking loudly, his fists reveal a side of him that casual observers often overlook. With 14 of his 23 wins coming by knockout, Benn is seen by many as a serious threat to Chris Eubank Jr., despite the weight difference, as the two gear up for an epic clash at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Perhaps no one knows the sting of Benn’s power better than former titleholder Chris Algieri, who retired after suffering a fourth-round knockout loss to him in 2021. Even Claressa Shields, boxing’s lone three-division undisputed champion, took notice. After watching footage of that fight shared by Ring Magazine, she couldn’t help but praise Benn’s prowess. Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and multi-division world champion, is known for often going the distance with her opponents. But she also knows exactly what it takes to deliver a clinical beatdown inside the ropes. Eubank Jr. and Benn will face off in a non-title, 160-pound catchweight bout, streamed live on DAZN, and supported by a stacked undercard of exciting matchups.
Claressa Shields, with a wide-eyed emoji, summed it up best: “ he got hands.“
