Conor Benn Claims He’s A Promoter’s Dream

Conor Benn believes he’s a promoter’s dream right now as everyone wants to fight him.

Benn had been the talk of boxing after his failed drug test scrapped his fight against Chris Eubank Jr., but he has since returned to the ring. However, Benn hasn’t had the big fight which is frustrating him as he says he’s a promoter’s dream.

“I’m a promoter’s dream,” Benn told Boxing Social. “What more do you want me to do? I’m the most wanted man in Britain. Most wanted man in the welterweight division. [Devin] Haney, from [Kell] Brook, from Eubank, from Gervonta [Davis], from [Josh] Taylor, from [Josh] Kelly. What more do you want me to do? Even I think Broner once said [he wanted to fight me], then Pacquiao, it’s like what do you want me to do?

“I ain’t for a year and a half and I’m still there. Still at the tips of people’s tongues, still at the forefront of people’s minds for these mega fights. You know, so it’s like it’s frustrating not because of Eubank, I couldn’t care less about him. Just a big name. Just anyone. Like anyone of the names mentioned. Let’s make it happen.

“Yeah you can say it’s frustrating for me,” Benn continued. “I know everyone wants the big fights. But for some reason them fights aren’t happening. It is what it is. I do my part, I do my job. I stay in the gym, I stay working, I stay learning, I apply myself, dedicate myself, irrelevant of all the drama, irrelevant of all the noise, I do my job. As hard as it is, I do what I’m supposed to do and no one can ever discredit that.”

Conor Benn ended up appealing the suspension and he saw his suspension lifted. He was able to return to the ring on Sept. 23 and he scored a decision win over Rodolfo Orozco. Benn is set to return on Feb. 3 against Peter Dobson and after that, the Brit is hoping for a big-name opponent next.
